Got my new coyote fxt longbow from south. Buckeye burl and English walnut riser with tiger Myrtle limbs footed with English walnut.

Insanely fast at my 25 inch draw length and hands down the quietest bow I’ve ever shot. Love mh wolverine fxt but I can see this becoming my favorite real fast!

Gorgeous bow! Very nice!!

I'm no longer interested in spending that kind of money on one of his bows. There was no mention of a show . Sounded like lack of interest

If I ever had a problem with it I feel this is how the problem would also be solved. Absolutely no reason in todays technology with phones and computers to not communicate.
Will also be eliminating all social media platforms as there are just too many phony people online.

They aren’t very good anyways.

Personal opinion. I’ve had all the major custom makers and keep coming back to South’s bows.Toelke would be my second pick but that grip is terrible for me.

I was just joking with the guy who said he wouldn’t buy one. I don’t know anything about stalker bows.

I have a Wolverine FXT 53# @ 28”. Super smooth and beautiful. I can’t imagine being disappointed with any purchase from south.

guys, have a question as i am new to trad. i am interested in getting one of the Stalker bows and was wondering the difference in getting the coyote with recurve or longbow limbs? i talked with South yesterday but forgot to ask him that question. i have a lot to learn about trad but have been an avid compound shooter. thanks

Personal preference on the limbs they both use the same riser. I have a new coyote fxt longbow with the acs limbs and it’s amazing. Also have a wolverine fxt with recurves limbs that is just as nice. My longbow is much quieter even though it’s 8-9 lb heavier draw weight then the wolverine shooting the same arrow.

The riser in the coyote is much thinner then the fxt. Both of my have his 6 pak grip but the coyote fits my smaller hands better. Can’t go wrong with any of South’s bow, he’s the best in the business imo.

i really appreciate the info and will most likely go that route. i do have several custom bow builders close to me so am going to go try some bows this week. i wanted to maybe get something with a lighter set of limbs to learn correct form then move up to a hunting setup. i plan to hunt and shoot 3D plus i usually shoot bows daily. two buddies of mine lent me there recurves to shoot and both are customs. one is a Dale Dye and the other a Wapiti JK Chastain, both are super nice.

As stated above it's personal preference. The acs longbow limbs are fast and quiet. I prefer the draw cycle of my acs wolverine recurve limbs but you can't go wrong with either. The static tip recurve limbs that are offered on the coyote are no slouch either. I have a coyote with the recurve limbs as well. Good luck

Yes sir, acs limbs. Smoking fast compared to my static recurve limbs and standard longbow limbs. I should be able to run some arrows over the chrono this week at different gpp to see how they compare to others. South told me they will be at least 10fps faster givin all the same standards. The more I shoot these though the more I’m falling in love with em.

i have a 64" blacktail elite vl that sits a lot since getting my coyote... love the blacktail, and there are no bows with nicer lines than a blacktail, but the stalker is just a little better in every regard (or equal) the stalker has a better DFC (even being 2" shorter) it's a little quicker (even being 2# lighter) i like the grip better, though neither is a problem.... i just like the Coyote a little more, and is the one i naturally grab when head out the door to shoot.

also have had several ILF's and just like the Coyote. i may get one of his ILF risers in the future, because i do appreciate their versatility, but for now, i like the coyote, and will probably get a set of ACS longbow limbs for it.... i heard him mention toying with SC limbs too, so i'm stalling out a little for now hoping he does offer super curve limbs..... i didn't love the max 6's i had, but i liked everything about them besides being fickle, and the riser could have been a part of that.

that's awesome! do they seem to favor a stiffer spine over the static recurve limbs?

 

[Steadman]

Yes the acs seen to like a stiffer spine. At least for me and everyone else I've talked to that has them. My acs that are 5# lighter than my static limbs shoot the same spine, even a little shorter arrow. Hope this helps

[bowhuntercoop]

Yes they do. I have a tiny draw length at 25 inches and they still required a stiffer spine.

 

[bowhuntercoop]

25 inch draw. 48-49lbs when I scale it using my scale. 500 grain arrow. My wolverine fxt at 43lbs shoots the same arrow at 160. Even though this coyote is 5-6lbs heavier it draws just a smooth as my lower poundage wolverine.

I do think South’s acs recurve limbs would be even faster then these acs long bow limbs, but the long bow limbs are much quieter imo. With both of my bows you can tell the longbow is quieter even tho it’s 5-6lbs more draw weight. Can’t wait to stack some critters with it this year!
