Title: Kota Kill-um
Post by: Coach Jones on January 11, 2014, 11:43:00 PM

How does this bow stack up to the rest of the 50's style recurves?  The only 50's style bow I have owned is a GN Ghost which I liked.  How are they in the noise department.

I'd say they are among the best. Smooth and quiet.

A quiet bow is very important to me.

Excellent bows!  I owned one once and wish I would have kept it.

How does the grip, draw, and quietness compare to the GN Ghost?

I found the grip to be very friendly, the G.N. Ghost has 2 styles, straight and locator. The Kota is a locator.

I had the locator on my Ghost.  I really liked it.

I have found a very nice used Kill-um that I may pull the trigger on.  It is 2 pounds heavier than I would probably order though.  Tim said at the end of the week he had 2 that I might be interested in.  Just waiting to see where the poundage comes out.

Well I pulled the trigger on a used one.  Hope to have it next week.

Very nice shooting bow - I shot a killum and RER retro.  Decided to keep the retro as I liked the static tips and it was a bit faster.  Both very nice shooting bows though.
