Awesome!!

Great combo, I love green glass. Wouldn't mind an Osage riser with green glass, the bubinga looks amazing too.

 As a teen aged boy I can remember as some of you old timers can the Norb Mullaney bow reviews.I really got into those especially if it was a bow I was interested in. I cant compare to any of the experts but I know what I like and I'm gonna put it into words as best I can. I draw just under 28" so as you can imagine the 60" model is smooth throughout the draw. Jason Kendall, Bowyer and Owner of J.K. Traditions says his 58" version will handle 28 inches of draw but I figured I might enjoy the added benefit of the bigger brother.
Last season I hunted with a 56" longbow and certainly have no beef with shorties but the bow is experiencing some minor core lam issues so I'm retiring it. Since season went out I've been shooting long self bows and have been shooting sitting down, kneeling and hard canting. With my open front stand The Kanati will be a breeze. Deep sweeping reflex best describes her limbs and at the end of the review I'll post a pic of her drawn to 24" to show that the tips still retain the slightest bit of curl. At just beyond my draw the limbs are unwound and the shooter can benefit from the stored energy that's aching to launch. With three Bamboo core lams, one notably thicker than the other this sweet heart has some thrust. This is by comparison to other bows I own or have owned in this draw weight range. I've shot full length 400's just shy of 600 grains and they will be my arrow of choice. The shorter 500's that came in at 9+ GPP screamed and if I was strictly a target guy they would fit the bill. The grip was an eye catcher and upon shooting, proved to be more than that. It forces my hand right where I want it. If it weren't for the ditches quills leave in my hand I could shoot off of it. I never shot calf hair and it seems just fine but time will tell. The tips were done as requested with a hint of Bubinga to accent the riser.
I'll take this time to to mention how well both the tips and the riser overlays were feathered into the back glass with no notable valleys. The finish comes very flat and almost looks non existent. Now I'm not sure what Jason's options are but I requested flat. The finish on the glass is slightly textured and pleasing to my eye. Bamboo, I assume due to it's hardness, has an inherent twang to it that is different than string noise but not objectionable. Non the less I dressed her with Acrylic yarn puffs in the usual attempt to suppress all the noise possible. The benefit of added speed in my opinion far out weighed the slight noise. I'm not being critical of what little sound she emits but simply drawing a distinction between it and let's say Maple cores. Now today My quiver came and upon strapping it on, what little noise I heard was notably reduced. I wasn't expecting the reduction but have heard others mention similar results. For kicks a chronograph would have been fun but since I'll be launching logs, makes little difference to me  :dunno:.
My Cochise quiver quality speaks for itself. Don took my order 4 days ago and yesterday dont count. :notworthy: I like bow hunting better than anything and my bow wears a quiver full time. Well sometimes when I frog I'll remove it just because of mud and slime. This is my second EFA and this will be my quiver of choice. I dont like Velcro in the woods but since it wont  be removed I'm good. The quiver is solid and holds fast. I like the Totem and set each end of my grippers where my fades terminate.  :clapper: A big thanks to the aforementioned sponsors and to my Brothers in the Lord and hunting companions for making all this possible. Thanks and may God bless you both.

Thanks for the welcomed compliments and here's the uncoiling of the limb tips @ 24".

Possum, It looks like you have a pretty good combination of equipment there. Thanks for sharing. It's always good to see what happens to the quivers once they leave here.

Possum Head

I like promoting good stuff perhaps I'll post a pic of it laying across a kill this fall. I'm very pleased with my new combo!

Very cool story. What a great looking combination of bow and quiver. You did great picking out the color scheme. Jason sure knows how to build a bow.

Nice one. Can you take a photo of the back in sunlight. The green looks nice.
I tested a bunch of string materials on these, try 18 strands of 452X for a quieter shot.

Possum Head

Sure Tedd but it will Friday before I'll see daylight again with the crazy hours I'm working. Thanks I'm ready for two new strings so that will be one of them. Who builds yours?

Good looking bow and your friends are tops in my book, enjoy the shooting!
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Tedd, here's the sunlight pic I promised. Excuse the dirt she needs a bath.
