Hey Guru,
You going both way's nowadays !!!

   

What's the reason for having the limbs mounted to the belly of the bow vs mounted to the back? Is it a performance gain or just mainly for looks?  These bows pictured here do look really nice.

Thanks
Dave

Lordy Mercy Chris... wasn't thinking how that might sound... OOPS !      :D

Those Kwyk Styk's are some good looking bows!

Froggy,

Aside from the faux pas on Guru's penchant for both handed bows, you work it out that you have one on order while you own so so's when your addiction kicks in and you sell the one you got, you've got a "regret net" coming along behind!???

You and Ralph! HOw'd you say, "...at least I keep em long enough to shoot em!"    :rolleyes:            :D

Hey Doc,
This one has a permanent address here in "Good Ole Georgia". I am shocked that you would compare my bow trading to Ralph, he is in a totally different zone bud !!. I do imagine the one coming will certainly fit in quite nice with it's sister..

Dbishop,

They are very stable at full draw, and more forgiving.

What Marty said plus the bows are extremely pointable, The comments I have gotten on them are usually along the lines of I have never had a bow that hits exactly where I look like this one does and its so quiet I can't believe it. I would have no problem hunting with it with no silencers at all of any kind. That is on the static now. The standard recurves that are rear mounted usually have a little noise prob unless you go really long on the brace height.  The statics are quiet even with a 7 inch brace. God Bless you all and have a wonderful day. Steve

Curt,

I've never seen a KS in person, but from the looks of the photos, I couldn't imaging a better design -- stable and forgiving. Maybe one of these days I'll get my hands on one to try out. Does he set up at any of the shows?

Jason,
Mr Kempf is in Canada. He doesn't get to any of the shows from what I understand, doesn't have a website either. He's old school all the way, won't even take deposit money on orders, he takes names, and when your'e up he calls to see if you still want it, if not he goe's to the next in line. Check with Joe Skipp on here, he sells Kempf's through his shop for Jack. Wish more folks did business like him, sure would simplify things. A man's word is his bond. He is a gentlemen in the truest sense. Pushing 80 years old I think, won't be building forever.... get one while you can !!!

I have an old Browning Wasp, shoots great and very inexpensive. No longer in production but I see used ones going for $100-150.
