Orded myself a 58" 45@27 Talltines Recurve
Wenge with Bocote flare and bocote limbs
Antler tips
Checkered grip
After 5 years of shooting trad, I have had nearly 30 bows. Most of which are 1 piece R/D longbows 54-64"s in length and 43-56lbs. Well after a year of elbow issues and a pinched nerve in my neck, I have decided to try a 3 piece recurve. Due to the nature of the TT grip my draw length will increase nearly a full inch. I dropped weight from normally shooting 50lbs to 45lbs. Hopefully the heavier riser and less weight will aid in my elbow issues a little bit.
This will only be my 4th recurve and my 2nd three piece recurve.
I'm excited! Pics to come in a few months when it is finished!
Good for you it's always nice to treat yourself to something nice. Oh don't forget pics. when you get her.
And the anticipation starts .
You will be more than impressed. Also the high grip of a recurve should be a lot easier on your wrist.
I have owned several TT bows and currently own three TT recurves and two Stickflinger longbows. when I tried the 18" recurve riser I found I preferred the longer riser with the short or long limbs for overall bow lengths of 62-64" over the shorter 16" riser, which is why I sold the others. Brian builds a fantastic looking bow that performs exceptionally well, and has the best repeatable and most comfortable grip in the business (in my opinion). The grip is even more enhanced when checkered. I have another recurve coming in about a week from Brian, which verifies my "me likey" obsession with TT bows. This latest one is Camo Dymondwood with an Ebony Dymondwood flare and green glass limbs. You will love your TT bow!
I much prefer the long riser as well for more mass weight and improved accuracy
Awesome Bows and by the description it sounds like it's going to be a beautiful bow. Perfect spec's also.

Excellent choice...
Perfectly happy with my 16" riser. I dunno maybe ignorance is bliss. In any event, I'll never keep up with Keith in the bow department.
Great choice. Not to confuse you but If you're comfortable shooting longbows I'd highly recommend going with Brian's low grip. It's the perfect grip IMHO and his checkering makes it even better.......I've had both his long and short risers and my personal preference is the short riser.
Awesome those are great bows. Congrats
Wenge and Bacote are my favorites. That should be a sweet looking bow!
No photos, yet so here are bows I have owned.

I liked all of them very much, but felt I needed to reduce my inventory. Just not enough time to shoot all the bows I had.
Personally, I liked Brian's regular grip the best. So I kept the bow on the right.
The other two may be prettier, but bottom line for me was the bow on the right just felt better to me.
Great bows and good wood combo choices also. There are a few bows I like to call "Lifers". (Bows I deem keepers for a lifetime) and the Silvertip is one of them. Post pics when you get her.
Awesome. I am really considering one myself. In for the pics!
You my friend are in for a treat and
unfortunately a long miserable day counting
wait , oh but the day it arrives !!
I own 2 of Brian,s bows and wish I had more
a treasure to be sure , enjoy and try to be
patient.

I ordered a TT a couple of weeks ago and can't wait!!
Hope you enjoy yours 9 Shocks!!
Kenny :thumbsup:
I've got an 18" riser coming. Great bows for sure
Just talked Brian into putting me on the list for a new longbow.
Gave him poetic license to build something special. My shoulders are always giving me trouble and I needed something smooth and light weight.
Besides being a master bowyer, he's one helluva great guy!

I will second all that.
I gave up trying to pick woods about 10 TallTines ago--Brian has never let me down :thumbsup:

Me 3! I have no idea what woods he used on mine just asked him to surprise me. I just got a call from Brian and my limbs should be shipping next week!!! Super excited!
I sent in my deposit for one of his stickflingers last week. Great bows.
Jeff
Jeff, I think I got my order in ahead of you 8-)
Lol. Either way it can't come fast enough. The last time I talked to him he stated his wait time was 2-3 months. Has it changed?
Jeff
You wont be disappointed. This bow is on my keeper list also. When I have shooting issues or slumps I can still go get the ol' girl out and she is money. Don't get me wrong they are beautiful bows, and really perform, but in my opinion the grip is what makes his bows. They are just so repeatable.
I love my tall Tines bows. They are my go to recurves. Good luck!

I don't shoot Brian's bows because they're pretty, I shoot them because they perform like no other. he does have some very nice woods I just normally don't get the glamorous looking ones. The last two or three I've had were brown glass and downright ugly compared to some of the stuff he can do

Still 3 months! I'm excited. Hopefully my elbow will feel a little better by changing things up a bit.
Love Tall Tines! My favorite bows. I'm loving my new stickflinger and loved my past recurve.
Great wood combo choice. I've had this one for about 7 years and it's been my go-to bow since the first time I shot it. You can't go wrong with a Tall Tines.

This bow has fallen out of treestands, smacked fiberglass blind poles at full draw, rode 1000s of miles in the back of a pickup, it's been banged around on treestands ladders, and screw in steps, it's been really wet, really cold, really hot, and really muddy. After all that it still looks like one of Brian's works of Art.
Hope you enjoy yours as much as I've enjoyed this one, I'm confident it will serve you well.
Any news?
I have a 60 incher on a short riser and it is my only bow, they are great bows.I have a beautiful set of 48 lb Rosewood limbs that make a 58 inch bow on the short riser that I would part with. If anyone has a low poundage 44-46 lb right hand stickflinger they want to part with give me a shout. Can't go wrong with Brian's bows.
Have you got that new TT yet?
No news yet. I thought it might be ready by now but I havent heard anything. Will post pics when I hear from Brian/it is finished! I can't wait!
Keith,
You should probably sell me one of your Stickflingers. I mean, with a new recurve coming you can't be thinking of using two of them much.
I have a TT with sets of limbs, 48 and 55. I am very happy with it. 60" with a checkered Chechen riser. Wonderful bow from a great bowyer.
I should mention that I too have been having shoulder problems. Out of all my bows the 48# Tall Tines is the easiest on me and that was one reason I chose that for my spring bear hunt this year.

My Stickflinger is certainly magical and has been my go to for the past two years, but recently got one of Brian's recurves with the new limb design and WOW!
I will be shooting this recurve for the majority of the season for sure! quietest recurve I have ever owned and faster than the older limb design for sure. Smooth as butter and hits where you look. What more could a guy want?
