Title: Timberpoint bows SERVICE AND BEAUTY BEYOND COMPARE
Post by: LITTLEBIGMAN on June 14, 2017, 12:50:00 PM
Just had to share a story of OUTSTAND CUSTOMER SERVICE AND BEAUTY BEYOND COMPARE.

2  years ago I had a Kraken long bow built. 68 inches long and a D shape when strung. This bow has become my go to bow for fun! I use it for 3d and league in the winter.

When he came out with a new model called the  "Icarus" 64 inches  long reflex/deflex, I ordered one in a hunting weight and in a 2 piece take down .

After sending Jacco a photo of the damage, he immediately began building me a replacement for free. He also asked if I wanted any changes made. I asked for just a small decrease in total handle size.

the new bow arrived today . Wow is all I can say.
The riser is Macassar Ebony and Elm and Dark Matter Phenolic. Limbs Bamboo and Carbon and Glass.

Beautiful. And a Lefty. Nice.
I didn't appreciate that a D shape could, or would have that kind of handle. Very interesting bolt system.

Beautiful work!  Looks to be the same type of takedown used by Jim at Centaur, solid and dependable.  

I'm lefty so you know where to find me should you need to pass them on.  I recently passed at the chance on a 67" Kraken, I think my draw would favor more like a 69-70".
