Chastain Spike III

[sveltri]

Anybody else here shoot one of his new Spike Iii longbows?

I did, down at RMSGear, nice bows, couldn't really give it a full run down as it was a little too short of bow for my long draw. Sure seemed like a shooter though!

Have you by chance shot one of his dual weight longbows, really considering gettin one?

[old_goat2]

Not that I know of, shot his new one and that's only longbow of his I've shot. How far from RMSGear are you, they have a few in stock to shoot.

I'm a big fan of his original Spike. This is a bow I would consider getting.

I live down in Salida so not too far, trying to decide on a second set of limbs for the Spike 3 or the dual weight.

Tried the Spike III and liked it!

i am currently shooting a Spike III longbow.  62", 50 @ 28".  Green SA (Maple I believe)riser with Bamboo cores and stained Bamboo veneers.  Fast flight capable and shooting it with a D98,14 strand string.  I really like it!  So much so I ordered another with a Bubinga riser and a set ot 54# Bamboo limbs and a 52# of Osage limbs, both with Bamboo cores.

I ended up putting mine on the rack at RMSGear, I'm only selling it to fund a Chastain recurve.  How did you get turned on to that bow all the way over in Illinois?

[old_goat2]

You should buy my Chastain, it's less than five bills and it's an experienced killer;-)

I've picked it up more than once, have you seen the new stock they got from him recently?

After my Colorado Elk hunt last September I stopped by RMSG to check out the shop and shot some bows on the rack.  Walked out with a Wapiti recurve after shooting one.  There was a Spike III longbow there and I loved the grip but did not shoot it.  I own several Rampart longbows and really enjoy them so did not want to shoot the Spike since I already owned some Ramparts and my favorite longbow of all is my TD Black Canyon.

Curiosity got the best of me and I called Keith to chat about the Spike III and reluctantly ordered one from him.  Since receiving it this winter I have  been giving it a good tryout while my Black Canyon is waiting on some new limbs while my Ramparts are recovering from a successful deer season.

Something about those Colorado bowyers!

I haven't paid much attention lately, I'm liking my Dryads too much and I have a lot of bows already. I lowered my bow price to 495 I want to move it and buy some quivers, broadheads etc.
