REVIEW OF
|
| Big Foot Sasquatch SS Static Tip ILF Takdown Recurve |
| This bow has a 21" riser with medium limbs for an overall length of 64" |
|
Max draw weight 65# This is the first run prototype of this bow |
 She's a Beauty, but the best is yet to come. RISER
The riser is made with G10 Garolite back to belly. There is no flex to this baby The I beam of the riser is 3/8" G10, then wood on the outside to give it a wood riser appearance. The Shelf is cut 1/4" past center The ILF receivers are fully adjustable with set screws threaded into the G10 to achieve limb alignment if needed. I was able to align this one perfectly The upgraded production model of this riser has 3/4" G10 back to belly, and is cut 3/8" past center. It is offered in 17", 19", and 21" lengths
Notice the installed berger button bushing at the shelf Fully adjustable for center shot alignment Legal in all Traditional competition venues in the off the shelf recurve classes, including the IBO The upgraded production model has the option of the low bushing, and/or a high bushing for elevated rest
Notice the through bolt limb bolt system This allows for internal locking/jam bolts on the limb bolts to insure they stay securely in place The through bolt system also allows for a belly mounted bow quiver which is a big plus for me I had the stabilizer bushing installed for use with my hog light 8^) LIMBS
Strung & Unstrung profiles of the limbs These are fully static tip limbs Although not quite as radical as some available, they easily qualify as "Super Hook" limbs These particular limbs are also prototype first runs They are maple cores with black glass as I requested The hooks do not open, even at full draw, which forces the limbs to bend very evenly Very smooth draw all the way to 31" These limbs are offered in medium length only making the assembled bow 60" on a 17" riser, 62" on a 19" riser 64" on a 21" riser They are fast too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Told you the best was yet to come, and here it is The bow maxes out at 65#, but I had to drop it down to get my arrows to be stiff enough I am shooting 7595 Goldtip Traditionals Bow set at I shot three different arrow weights ten times through the chronograph I threw out the two high & two low readings from each set, and averaged the middle six Chronograph Tests 10.5 Grains Per Pound of Draw Weight
10 Grains Per Pound of Draw Weight
9.5 Grains Per Pound of Draw Weight
I'll be sticking with the 10.5 gpp arrows I'm plenty happy with a 630 grain arrow going 190 plus feet per second 8^) As you can see, this little gal gets it done with AUTHORITY Quiet, Fast, Stable & Pretty to look at too 8^) Absolutely one of the best bows I have ever shot Kirk Lavender is one of the best bowyers there is without a doubt He's a darn fine feller to deal with also, and will work his tail off to satisfy you Give him a shout. He can fix you up !!!! Thanks For Looking Rick Barbee
