Introducing the newest, of the now legendary Quick Stick line; the 2015 60 inch Quick Stick and the custom 62 inch Super Quick Stick from Bearpaw in Germany.
The Quick Stick is a hybrid longbow incorporating reflex-deflex design into it's bamboo limbs. This makes this shorter Longbow extremely fast to shoot and forgiving on the shooter. Bearpaw has layered black and white Mycarta in between beautiful Rosewood and Bubinga to create a low pistol grip handle that is comfortable and fits perfectly in my hand.
The Super
Quick Stick is the same design and materials just 2 inches longer in overall length and was made to accommodate my 32 inch draw length. The
Quick Stick is Bearpaw's signature bow, and they have many subtle variations to fit the shooting styles of all archers.
Henry Bodnik has said, "In our opinion, it's performance and comfort are brought to an optimum. This hybrid bow is a perfect mixture of longbow and recurve - with recurve performance and longbow appearance. Short, handy and quick!"
So why does Bearpaw in Germany make such a big deal about this little bow? For starters, it is incredibly fast for a longbow and even my 62 inch custom Super
Quick Stick is relatively short compared to other
stick bows of equivalent power and speed. Bearpaw has accomplished this by crafting very strong, yet very narrow bamboo laminate limbs and multi layered mycarta tips that are guaranteed to last a lifetime. So confident is Henry in his bow design and construction that every bow from Bearpaw comes with a full warranty for 30 years!
What makes this bow so special though is how it feels shooting arrows. Many of us like the added stability that a
stick bow provides, but are shocked, quite literally, with the amount of hand-shock that a longbow can produce. The reflex-deflex narrow bamboo limbs and layered Mycarta throughout the handle all but eliminate shot vibration.
…which makes it quiet too!
Stability means accuracy and these limbs are rock solid. Solid, non-twisty limbs are the hallmark of all longbows, and now with the Quick Stick, that added accuracy doesn't come with cumbersome length, noise, and lack of power.
This custom 62 inch Super
Quick Stick which pulls 50 lbs. at 32 inches quickly became my new favorite bow. I can honestly say that it is the best bow I've ever shot. Easy to handle and easy on the eyes this bow has set the bar high for all other
stick bows. Bearpaw has several models to choose from depending on your needs and budget.
I would highly recommend getting you hands on one for 3D shooting, target practice, or your next big hunting excursion. This bow will get the job done… like the man said, "short, handy, and
quick."
