I really like that. I bet that heavy micarta in the riser really helps the shoot-ability also. Very nice.

Nice bow and I love those arrows with it!
Curious what Your specs are on bow and what arrows your shooting out of it.
I had one awhile back and shot it as good as anything I ever have but couldn't get quite enough. I never tried wood though, I bet with some heavy Doug fir it would help. Great shooting bows though

Good luck on your hunt

Wow....love the lines of that bow! And arrows to boot!

What are the specs?

I sure like it. One of my Kanatis has the entire riser in all phenloic other than accent strip. Definitely gives it more mass, which is nice.

Just got in from an afternoon hunt with Missinginohio, we were hunting some public land in Columbiana  co. Ray had a small six point under him rubbing ever sapling he could see and  I bumped a half dozen on my way out.
Now for the bow its 60" 48#@28 and it zips my 550 grn cedars like a 60# bow would.
MY Big Jim thunderchild and Big Jim buff are the same specs along with my Tolke Whip and this Kanati hits harder and it's faster than the others.

I love the looks of that and as others have mentioned I bet that micarta really makes it nice to shoot.

Yes the micarta added just the right amount of weight in this riser. The bow is dead in the hand no hand shock what so ever.

Have you chronographed it against the bows you mentioned on page one? I'm not a big speed guy, but if what you say is true I'd be interested in seeing the numbers.

Post by: thump on October 10, 2013, 10:13:00 PM
Jeff I'm with you on the speed thing. I shot the four bows one after another and it just appears that the Kanati is the fastest.

I gotcha. Thanks for the intel. Again, sweet bow.

I will agree 110% on it outshooting those bows mentioned...... had them all and the Kanati or should I say Kanati's are still keeping up residence with me.

The nice things about Jason's bows is that they shoot even better than they look, which is truly amazing. Yours is a beauty, but I bet this still holds true.

That's about as pretty a bow as you'll find anywhere!  Great contrast in riser colors with matching arrows and quiver!  Put it to work!
