Title: Kentucky TGhost
Post by: AR RidgeRunner on March 04, 2015, 08:31:00 PM
A Friend from KY asked me to post a few pics of the bow I'm getting ready to send him. This one's a 56" static on a 13" riser. Phenolic riser with bocote overlays and some really nice bocote veneers for the limbs. Kind of a collaborative effort on the riser shape. I really like the lines and will end up building more this shape.

A turkey stik of dreams.

Kent has been a most outstanding bowyer to work with. He managed to create this masterpiece out of my incompetent and often times incoherent communications. This classic example exemplifies the artistry, craftsmanship and open-mindedness which he possesses.

Much appreciation and gratitude!

Kent....Thank you for posting pics

I really like the lines on this bow as well. The riser blends into the limbs very nicely. One of the better looking belly mounts that I have seen. Great job, and congrats to Friend!

That IS ONE BEAUTIFUL BOW. I have a desert camo. Love it. Bought it used but shoots and looks great. Took it to FL on a hog hunt in Feb.and shot a nice sow with two pass throughs (they are one tough animal) with an XX75 autumn orange 2117 tipped with an old Bear razorhead greenie and only 48#s @28. This bow really zips an arrow.

A very nice looking bow. That is probably the best looking bacote I've ever seen!  Grip looks comfy as well.

Kent, Anyone,
Can the 52" Static recurve handle a 28" draw?

Burnsie,
Yes the 52" is good for 28" draw. Due to the static tips and the tapers I use to get the limbs bending in the right places, the string angles are good at 28". Gen273 and a few others are shooting the 52" with a 28" draw.

Kent, I don't know how you keep out doing yourself like that! WOW!!!!! And for those of you who haven't shot one of Kent's bows, you owe it to yourself to try one. My Smoke isn't the only bow I shoot, but it is easily my favorite.

Congratulations, Scott. I think you 2 came up with one hell of a fine combination!

This bow is cooler than the other side of the pillow!  Scott has impeccable taste and giving  Kent some artistic freedom has once again created a boutique quality heirloom!  

Wow!

Has been some time since I have been inspired to prepare and submit an in-depth bow review.

This bow deserves one.

Still wish to spend more quality time with her before adequately ascertaining personally significant desirable qualities.

I was lucky enough to be able to run a few shafts through this bow this past weekend and was very impressed. Scott has it tuned perfectly and it shot my 28" 1535's like lasers. Absolutely no stack at my 26" draw, quick and quiet. A very well mannered bow.

Thanks for letting me shoot it Scott.
