Title: New Hybrid Longbow.....Pics..2 more added
Post by: joe skipp on January 18, 2015, 06:08:00 PM
Finally got to shoot my new Hybrid outside yesterday. Very impressive...the bow is 64" 55# at 27". Kititinney Bows....this bow was a Xmas gift, the 4th prototype built and it's a winner.

Arrows flew great from 15-40 yds...quick, smooth and very stable. It handled my 50/55# Tapered Doug Fir 550 grains, 55/60# tapered Doug Fir 580 grains, 2117's 535 grains and AD Trad Lites 600 grains. Without a doubt the quietest bow I have ever shot. I put whiskers on it but doesn't need them.

Need to come up with a name....

Riser is Waterfall Bubinga and Quilted Maple. A small "Fedora" like thumb rest(which I prefer). Places my hand exactly in the same spot for every shot. Riser is 18" with radius shelf.

Limbs have an Ash core with edge grain Red Elm under clear glass on the face and Brown Carmel brown on the belly. The power wedge is Action boo. The string is BCY-X. A real good performer....definitely will be alternating bows again this coming fall.

A few guys asked for an "unstrung" photo...and the bow sock made by TG'er Jerry Jeffer. Thanks Jerry really love it.

That is a very nice looking bow but it way more resembles a D bow from the pics than even a D and R bow. Why is it being called a hybrid? Again it is a very nice bow and I love the strung shape.

God bless, Steve

Tough to get a good photo of the bow unstrung due to it's length. However...for you Stiffrod...I'll try this week....   :thumbsup:

Hey Skip. Dave here.Mike's going to be upset you guys didn't spell his brand correctly. I know it aint easy but it's Kittatinny.
He did do a really nice job on that baby. Still trying to take something with the one he built for me. No luck yet except for a smallish hog in FL last summer.

Wow Joe, that is a beauty! I know you gotta be enjoying that one. Mike has earned the title Bowyer in my book! Kittatinny Archery is putting out nothing but awesome bows and this hybrid is another fine example of Mike's talents. Bravo Mike!

Looks like a mild d and r to me unless the definition of hybrid is because of the riser shape. I've always thought of a hybrid as a what was called a semi recurve back in the day. I could sure be wrong and it wouldn't be the first time.

That is a very interesting profile and I can see why it strings up in a D shape,
Again a nice looking bow. God bless, Steve
