Marc,

According to Kirk, she's definitely got legs!    :p   Initial chrony results is 199 fps (I know, I know - it's not 200 +) with 10.2 gpi hunting set-up.

That is plenty fast for me!

Jim,

Yep.  Planning on having her with me in Florida!  Gonna be tough - my SS or my Centaur Triple Carbon!?!    

Had really hoped to have her up and running for the upcoiming Hog Wild hunt in SC this coming weekend, but you can't rush a master!      

Think I'm gonna have to move up to 340's for this baby!

need a full report when it's in your hands....got one coming myself in a month or so

That is truly a beautiful bow!

Please give us a complete report! It certainly is a looker. Let us know how she shoots.

It needs shots of the limbs, you can't have a pin up girl with showing her legs        

Nice bow Bob!

Since Bob is going to run off and go hunting tomorrow, i thought i'd slip one finished photo in here without all the sealer running down the riser...

Just received this "teaser" from Kirk.  98% + complete.  He is hoping she will ship tomorrow!


Love the flush limb bolt detail and the black glass/carbon limbs!

Looks Good, like the curves.

I like the pics of the legs on that bow she is looking so fine

Absolutely stunning

Nice! Congrats rbcorbitt, and great job Kirk.

What a beautiful Bow!

A most appealing piece of art.

Is the riser wenge and bocote?

Friend,

The riser is Maccasar Ebony with Bocote "fang".  Just got her in mail today, and all I can say is WOW!

I will post up some more pics shortly!  Kirk outdid himself on this SS!!

Sweet bow!  

NICE!

Very nice looking bow.

Have issues downloading pics here at office, so will get some more pictures of this beauty up when I get home this afternoon!

Went home yesterday at lunch to package up a couple items that I had sold on TG Classifieds.  Weather was the best its been in awhile - mid 40's and sunny.

I assembled the Sasquatch SS, and as I was awaiting a response from Kirk himself on recommended brace heights, strung her up and braced it to 7 3/4".  Kurt had provided one string (a 12 strand that he states he was getting better performance out of) with two cat whiskers and an adjustable string nock that I twisted up to what I typically shot on my Centaur.

I grabbed 4 of my typical hunting arrows for my R/D and recurves, 400 VAP's cut to 30.25", internally footed with 300 grains up front (595 total arrow weight), and headed out to the back yard.

This bow (58", 57# at 28" - I draw a tad over 29") is SMOOTH!
No hand shock and super quiet at the 7 3/4" brace height.

The grip - well, how do I put this - was as close to perfection as I have found!  Kirk matched my hand dimensions to a T              !!

Now to provide my rudimentary basis of comparison, my deer 3-D target, with the occasional exception of those spots that have been hit continuously, will typical stop this same arrow set up (over 25% FOC) right at the fletching with my triple carbon Centaur Dark Matter (chronied at 185 fps by Rick Welch with this arrow set-up).

At approximately 18 yards, I let loose my first arrow to see it hit
1) exactly where I was looking, and  2) disappear completely from sight!  I moved back a step at a time with the balance 3 arrows.  All were hitting in the heart/lung area of the deer target, but none of then were visible from my side of the 3-d target.  What beautiful arrow flight - I could briefly see the spiral of the florescent lime fletchings as the arrows zipped towards the target!

Upon walking up to my target, I saw that all 4 arrows had blown completely thru the target and where sticking in the dirt on the other side!

Moving out to 25 - 28 yards, I mentally adjusted for any drop due to the extended distance, to only have the arrows hit 4-6 high - in other words, minimal noticeable drop at this distance!
Now I knew why Kurt had added the inscription "Shoot Low, Brother!" on the riser!  This bow can shoot (Kirk was getting 199 fps with a 10 gpi set-up).   WOW!

I got an email response from Kirk early yesterday evening suggesting a brace height range of 7 - 7 1/2" as well as some string position suggestions for the two cat whiskers that he provided with the string.  If it shoots any better and quieter at a lower brace height than it did at the 7 3/4" that I started off with, then I will be doubly impressed!

Granted - I have only shot around 20 arrows through this SS, but I am super impressed.  Great looks and performance as well!  This one's a keeper!            

More pics as soon as I can get them uploaded!

Whoops, don't know how that happened!  Was trying to edit initial post!  Sorry Moderators!!

All I'm going to say is
