KOAH Bluewater 63"

Finished the bluewater design, in a nutshell a beefed up version of the original. No more hip-loading butt, went to thicker pad on the back. Added a little mass to the gun to help eat up re-coil. Tuna mech, 4-5 bands, and I plan on using Josh's new handles on the bluewaters (they're pretty sick handles) It's now front and rear ballasted. Retails between 675-750.

I've had requests to build it that way... but yes the chest pad makes more sense.. especially when loading 4-5 bands

I've tried to hip load the 55" you built me.... I can't imagine hip loading this monster. Looks beautiful

Re: KOAH Bluewater 63"

great looking gun.

with any gun you can start with hip loading to get the band closer to you and then chest loading to cock the gun.
