If I had to choose a bow to do both it would be a flatliner. Im saving for one now. I would go with a g10 riser and a strip of carbon in the limbs.

If his flatliner or stealth shoot as good as his Sasquatch model, you'll be in for a real treat!

I have both .the Sasquatch recurve and the Flat Liner.
I love em both. I can say the Flat Liner shoots just as good as the  Sasquatch.

Stealth, she now has a leather wrap on grip. Bow shoots incredibly accurate. 66", deep locator grip cut to center.
The flatliner will have a longer riser.

I love my Sasquatch. It hits hard and is very quiet.

I might have some pictures for you at the end of the month,and tell you something about a Flatliner. I bought a spot and Kirk is working on mine right now.

This is comparing apples to onions, but I picked up a Big Foot Yeti used on the classifieds. It's a shortie, low poundage, and not in Kirks catalog of models any more.

However, I will say the bow shot all out of proportion to its size and draw weight. If the big guys are like this little bow, I doubt if you will be disappointed in the performance.

In most cases I would agree with the apples and onions term. But not in this case.
My Flat Liner out shoots  and behaves better than the majority of recurves I've shot.
Hands down .
Kirk has his new Stealth out. I haven't had the chance to shoot one yet. But knowing Kirk it's going to be awesome

Bocote riser, actionboo core, black glass back, bocote belly. She is 66" 53@29.5, with the harmonic dampeners she is sweet.

Hey Dennis,

The Stealth model has the same high performance limbs as the Flatliner. The difference between the two is the size of the riser and the belly ramps coming into the grip from both ends.... That, and i have a harmonic damping system built into the grip to help take the vibration out of it.

If you look close you can see the G-10 cap on the belly of the grip. This is where the damping system is installed on this model.

The flatliner has more mass in the riser and the fade tips are 2" longer than the "Stealth model...
I thought i'd pass that info on to you and the rest of the guys here.
