This fantastic bow from the KG Bowyers and appropriately named with the graceful flowing limbs as the wings of a bird of prey.
This is a unique and tastefully designed bow which unwinds so smoothly to full draw, and yet produces an incredible amount of energy. When this is transferred into the arrow it generates incredible arrow speed and flat trajectory giving tremendous pleasure with every shot.
A composite constructed bow using black glass to which provides a nice contrast to the beautiful timber in the handle.

My father bought his KG osprey roughly 12 years ago. It was his main bow for years and years until eventually passing it down to me.
It’s the black glass version I believe, KG wasn’t doing carbon ospreys yet back then. Pulls 54#.
I know it’s only a bow, but It is my most prised possession - It’s the most sentimental thing I own. The fact that my father has shot tens of thousands of arrows through this bow just makes it all that more special to me if that makes sense?
And even though I’ve seen it for over a decade I still stop and stare at the degree of craftsmanship that this bow is composed of. I’m quite keen on woodworking myself, and I’m taken back when I see the wood laminations on the handle of this bow - it’s so intricately beautiful and well made, KG puts his heart and soul into these bows.
If you are um-ming and ah-ing on whether to buy this bow or not, I hope this review helps you make up your mind. Over 12 years we’ve had this bow, it has plenty of battle scars, scratches, chips to the paint etc which is to be expected; but this bow is an old man in bow years and it out performs any other traditional bow of similar draw weights.
My partner is pregnant, and, who knows, in another 12 years time I may even pass this down to my son! (Assuming I can get him into archery!)
Thank you KG, for providing me with countless quality times with my father at the range. Your bow has never let me down, and, one day, when I have the funds, I hope to walk through your doors and buy myself a carbon osprey.
Thanks,
Dan
My first bow ,its so light in the hand and quiet when you shoot it.
I just hope one day to be worthy of it
I've now put a few hundred arrows through my brand new 42lb Osprey and I absolutely love it. It makes me smile just looking at it and shooting it is pretty much the most enthralling experience I've had in archery. I can't put it down. I bought my first bow from KG well over ten years ago and have shot recurve and bare bow since then. Not any more. I can't see me picking up a recurve again. My Osprey is all the bow I've ever wanted, or needed. It's made by craftsmen at KG not a factory in China and the customer service is, as far as I'm concerned the best you will find, anywhere, and I've been everywhere. Nuff said.
I bought a 40lb bowin the summer and I agree that it is a beautiful thing to shoot. However I also agree with Big Dave in that I find it unforgiving as I think I am a little over bowed and find it quite hard to control my technique. But thats my problem. Still a lovely bow.
Just shot my new Osprey for the first time and I couldn't be happier! Incredibly quiet and smooth with absolutely no hand shock. I have the 40lb and it shoots very fast and it just looks fantastic. It's very comfortable in the hand, I didn't get the leather grip, it doesn't really need it. I usually shoot an Olympic style recurve with all the extra bits and pieces that go with it so I don't have much experience shooting bare bow but the arrows just seem to go where you expect them too. If you're thinking of buying this bow just do it, you'll be blown away by it.
