Kamphaus Silver Mounted Slow Twist Correction Bit
The Kamphaus Silver Mounted Slow Twist Correction Bit is a premium piece of performance tack designed by master craftsman John Kamphaus. Based in Hillsboro, Texas, Kamphaus is renowned for creating custom, hand-engraved western hardware that balances professional-grade functionality with high-end artistry. This correction bit is engineered for riders who require subtle communication and refined lateral control.
Performance & Design Features
- Mouthpiece: Features Slow Twist bars paired with a Correction Port. The slow twist adds a slightly more aggressive texture over the bars, encouraging horses that tend to push on the rider to be more responsive.
- Correction Action: The swivel mouthpiece allows for independent lateral movement, assisting with flexing, bending, and collection.
- Shank Design: Equipped with 7-inch silver-mounted shanks that provide moderate leverage and a clear "pre-signal" to the horse before full engagement.
- Artisanship: Features signature John Kamphaus hand-engraving with silver mounting, making it as much a collector's piece as a functional tool for the show ring or ranch.
