I recently got a Kustom King Black Forest longbow 45# @ 28".
After quite a bit of doing I finally got it to shoot well enough for a target as small as a squirrel.
I was having trouble with the arrows hitting tail right (I'm a lefty) but it took me about 2 weeks of shooting to figure out the bow quiver was the culprit. I must be torquing the handle on the release. I took it off and shot all afternoon with no problem.
It feels like it may be a bit stronger than labeled but I have not put it on the scale yet to see. Also thought I detected a bit of stack near the end of my draw. I changed out the string it came with because it was too short, the lowest brace was 8 1/2". It is listed as 6 3/4" on the Kustom King site so I twisted up a 15 strand D-50 string. Any way here is what it looks like. Not too bad for an inexpensive bow. Can't wait for Squirrel season on Oct 15!

If you have it shooting consistently well on squirrels, the deer better run for cover! From the picture, it is obvious that this is a handsome rig.
nice set up
I like your quiver
That is a nice quiver, where did you get it? Nice bow too BTW...
Very nice!
That's a great looking outfit! Look out squirrels!

Nice rig. Am really liking the side quiver like yours. Have a safarituff but am looking for a leather one that is not too expensive. Made one it is just heavy. Can get a different broadhead out of the side quiver for deer or squirrel. Thanks, Roy
Go get them.
Thanks for the replies. The days are getting cooler and the leaves getting that red or yellow tint. Squirrel season is almost here.
Sorry for the delay in responding about the quiver. I had to go out of town and was not able to check Tradgang. I know I hate that too.
I made two of these quivers about 12 years ago. The leather I used is fairly stiff so they keep their shape. The only down side is they rattle a bit unless you stuff something soft into the upper end to keep the arrows still. If anyone wants the pattern I'll see if I can post it here.
Really like that side quiver, I would like the pattern..thanks PeashooterJoe
