Sasquatch Arrives in PA

[dragon rider]

After some tantalizing glimpses and tales of its prowess, I received my new Sasquatch TD from Kirk today.





After spending a while just staring at it, because it looks so damn pretty, I put it together, strung it up and went out back to see what it was like to shoot.

Quoting the legendary Colonel Sherman Potter of MASH fame, "There aren't enough "o's" in smooth to describe the way this bow shoots.

It's 45#@28", which means it comes in about 47# at my draw, but it comes back so smoothly that it feels lighter than it is. The limbs are "XX Carbon."  Any thought it's light is quickly dispelled however when it send a arrow down range - it shoots flat and fast.  There's no hand shock and it barely needs string silencers.  I shot it without them and if I hadn't seen deer jump things I would have sworn they couldn't hear wouldn't bother, but I have so I will.

I offered it a variety of ammunition - starting with some 2016's with 145gr up front, a couple of CT Whitetail 35/55's with 175gr, some CX Predators 25/40 with 175 and some Beman ICS 500's with 175gr.  It was willing to work with the 2019's and the 35/55's, found the 25/40's beneath contempt - and seemed to really like the ICS 500's.  It was nailing where I was looking with them.  

Just for the hell of it I started shooting at my "form" target - it's out about 30 yards.  That's beyond any hunting shot I'd be comfortable with but shows you pretty quickly - and might I add ruthlessly - when your form's off.  When I did right by the bow it was nailing spots with the Bemans.  

I'm taking this bow to MD this weekend for Sika and to Texas in a couple of weeks for hogs, so with any luck at all, you'll be hearing more about it soon.

Conclusion = this is one smooth drawing, sweet shooting bow.  It shoots fast, flat and accurately.  And it looks pretty damn good while it's at it.

Dang Paul, that one is ALMOST as pretty as mine.    

I can't add anything to what Paul said about the Big Foot bows performance.....you just have to shoot one for yourself to believe it.

Congrats Paul.....that is a dandy.

It's a longbow.  I'm normally a recurve fan, but it's hard to see how anything would shoot better than this does.

Beautiful bow, the best of luck with it.

Nice Bow..!.. Beautiful Riser..

  I had the chance to shoot one of Kirk's bows for a round at the High Country Shoot this past summer and it was a few pounds lighter than the bow I was shooting, but it shot the same arrows just fine and I was impressed with the performance.
