Title: Kabekona River vs. Kanati
Post by: 30coupe on October 02, 2007, 06:52:00 PM
What are the differences, pluses/minuses between these two bows? Jason Kendall is the bowyer for both. I like the looks of both. I have shot one of his older JK Traditions bows and really liked it. I was just wondering which of these bows would be preferable or if there is a significant difference in the two.

Jason's a member here.  I'd send him a pm.

Tom has  kanati 50#@28" in at Bearfoot.  Make it up there and shoot it.  I spent some time shooting it last night.  Nice bow.  The grip is great and it shoots hard.  I am not sure of the diff. in models.  I know Jason made Kabekona for G&M Archery untill 06'.  Now he is on his own and calls it Kanati.  The Kanati and the 06' model Kabekonas look the same to me.

I "think" he's not using carbon anymore...

I PM'd Jason. He has not been using carbon for quite a while I guess, but that old website just won't go away.

Katie,

Where is Bearfoot?

It is in DesMoines at 6th and Euclid.  You park and enter behind the building.  Chuck's and a pawn shop are on 6th.  The lot is behind the pawn shop, Bearfoot is behind Chuck's.  A bit hard to find.  He has a red door and a sign.  Open M-F after 6:00pm.  Then go to Chuck' for some food.

That's kind of out of the way for me. I'm just over two hours from Des Moines. I'm only a half hour from Jason's. I bet he's got something there I could shoot if I needed to. I already know how good his bows are. I was just wondering what the difference is between the two. It appears there is not much.

Thanks for the responses though. I'll try to find Bearfoot next time I am down that way. I always like to check out a Trad shop!
