Handled a used Kanati at the Kalamazoo show this past winter and loved the feel of this bow.  Handled many different bows at the show but only three felt great in the hand.  The Used Kanati, a Widow PLX with the old syle LAG type grip, and a Zipper SXT with 62" Longbow limbs.  Was able to shoot the other two bows and ordered a SXT with 64" limbs.  Cannot wait to shoot the Kanati.  The craftsmanship is very precise.  Jason, please come to Kalamazoo next year so we can try your bows.  Definately appears to be  very good bows at a great prices.

Here's what happens when a buck gets too close to a Kanati!





The first one fell to my 46# Kanati. The second fell to my son's 51# Kanati.

Bear Kodiak Magnum 52" 45# @ 28"
Bodnik Slick Stick longbow 58" 40# @ 28"

Here's some more.

46# @ 28", 58", walnut Dymondwood riser, clear glass over amberboo...sweetest shooting bow I've ever shot! It blows arrows right through whitetails!





52# @ 28", 58", walnut Dymondwood riser, clear glass over camo veneers...this one is a screamer! It's for stuff bigger than whitetails. It also looks way cool!



Here's a couple of my son Dave's Kanati. It is 51# @ 28" and 58" long, camo riser and vertical camo veneers...a cool looking bow! It's also the bow he killed the big buck up above with...complete pass-through and arrow stuck in the ground!







My cousin also has one of Jason's early pre-Kanati, longbows. He has taken deer, bear, and elk with his.

My family, as you can tell, is sold on Jason's bows. I will echo what others have said, Jason and his bows are both top of the line. What Jason calls a simple bow, is quite honestly, a hunter's bow. The non-glare finish, the speed, silence, accuracy, and handy size make his Kanatis a best buy. I have owned and shot a lot of bows, but have found none better. You could spend a lot more, but you won't have any better bow, IMHO!

Smartest move you've ever made!

Let us know what you decided to go with!

i love the looks of the "evergreen" with clear glass. was thinking #45@28, should be smooth yet strong enough for deer.

Can't wait to see it. Ben's Kabekohhna(?) came today. Man what a nice bow! Love Jason's bows!

Ken,

45# will be plenty for deer! My 46# zips an arrow through so fast you'd better not blink! At 22 yards, I put a Zwickey Delta through that 8 pointer and into the frozen ground as slick as you please. My arrow setup weighed 510 grains total with 24.6 percent FOC. I draw 28" and the Kanati is smooth as butter. Evergreen is really close to what Dave's riser is. I like it! You are going to love the Kanati!

That's a nice bow Ron. I'm kinda partial due to shooting it so well at my first meeting.

USPS attempted to deliver a *new* KANATI to my house today.  (It's the lefty in Jason's picture up above.)

Unfortunately, no one was home to receive it.

Hopefully, by this Friday I will be shooting some arras through it.
