After 16 long months my Habu Vyperkahn with the carbon longbow lims got here on Friday. Very nice. The fit and finish is superb.
It is 46#@28. Can anyone help me with an arrow to start with? I am not afraid to shoot alum, but I would prefer to stay with carbon. I was shooting Axis 500's with the brass inserts with my Morrison.
I'd start with the axis and a heavy point. See how that works before trying anything else first.
Now we need pics of the bow.
So your saying stay with the 500's with the 100 grain brass insert and 125 grain head?

Sweet bow. I'd probably try a 250, 200 and 175 head just to see what flys best personally. What draw length are you?
WOW!

28" draw. These Axis camo 500's are at 29 1/2. They bare shaft tuned out of my Morrison at the same weight. But the Habu is suppose to shoot a bit stiffer I was told.

oh man would I love to loose some arrows off from that thing...and just my draw weight to!!
Would you like my mailing address? :D
Sorry Larry, not that I wouldn't let ya shoot her. Too many hours of OT worked to get to be risking that.
I'd promise to send it back in no more than 3 years :biglaugh:
Awesome. I have one about to be finished. I sent the final payment in last week and I expect it sometime in Oct. Great bows

Mine was 4 months after final payment. Just so you know.
Wonderful bow.
By far my favorite bow .I posted on your other thread about aluminum arros.
I shoot axis from my 66lbs VK.The 340's w/ a 190gr point shoot extremely well.I think you maybe under spined.Bareshaft tune and see.My guess is you'll need a 400 axis w/ a 175/200grs up front.
bowhunter,
Is that Chris's I-Con series?
Pretty bow, now you have to wait for the first scratch :eek: .

That is what I was thinking also. Chris had also said I may need the 400 with his bow. When I get some time I will check and see.
That bow looks amazing!!!

Now Frank why did ya have to say it? :knothead: :)
I took a brand new bow down to Texas for a spring Jav and Hog hunt. By the time we got back that bow was "old hat". Your bow will be pretty with or without scratches but I will keep my fingers crossed for you :thumbsup:
I had just got a new Morrison riser once. Took it down to the local pro shop to show it off to a few friends. A young man working there knocked it off the counter and you can imagine what happen. I didn't even have the limbs for it yet. So I know all about those first scratches, even it you don't get to put em in there.
I definatly didn't get her to hang it on the wall and look at it.
Once you kill a few critters w/ it the scratches are memories of the journey.
Hope it's not 4 months. It's a little late already. No big deal, but we'll have snow soon and I'd like to have something to do this winter.
Imagine Chris is hunting right now and not much bow building is happening.Someone post some performance specs when they get a chance.
I have found several shafts that work well with my
VyperKahn. Mine is 47# @ 28". I draw a little over 27" so I am probably at about 45#. I get good arrow flight with 2115's and 2016's. You could probably use 2115's. I recently bought some Beaman carbons (500's) but haven't made them up yet.
Chris makes a great bow. His craftmanship is second to none. Mine is smooth, fast and accurate.
It is my go to bow. My favorite by far. I have a set of carbon limbs ordered for mine, 47 @ 27. It will be a while for these yet.
Good luck with your VK.
Very sweet. Looks worth the wait. :)
