Well, for the last several years I have not pulled a string. Bad back......... couldn't do it. Two weeks ago out of the clear blue I took a old evil bow of mine(did I say compound) out and shot three dozen arrows without any pain at all. Getting my Recurve strung back up but am really wanting to go bwack to what I was shooting twenty some years ago........... a longbow. No sights no gadgets, nothing ;) Now I have been paying particular attention to a certain longbow that has really caught me eye. The Mohawk Longbows. Tell me about them. I am gonna have to sell a couple things to get one so I want to make sure I am getting what I want :) Thanks, Craig
vince is a great guy to talk to, I have one coming once I save the money for it, I like the classic D shape
You will make a good choice. Good craftsmanship, nice product and a reasonable price. I love the bamboo and cocobolo combination. If you can spend a few bucks call the guys at Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear in Arvada Colorado. You pay shipping and give them a credit card number and they will send you one to try out. I was up th er last week and they had a number of Mohawks (all right handed though).

Excellent Decision,, Vince is "TOPS" and builds a "Super" smooth Shootin classic L/B !!!
Thank you gentlemen......... hopefully I can get rid of an old crossbow and a crbine here shortly and get myself one. I have looked thru websites and magazines and his really stuck in my head. Plus, I noticed when you see them used they are not for sale long. Thanks again ;) Craig
Just PM'd him....... I guess I need to come up with a fw hundred dollars quick :archer:
cmh all's you have to do is hit his home page on his website and see the referrals. They are from all the Trad Gangers that shoot his bows if you have any second thoughts! By the way my Bud Vince is the real deal. He's keeping his prices low so you folks can afford a quality D style longbow without breaking the bank,robbing from the kids college funds, taking food out of your babies mouths, etc etc. He just loves making bows!
Quietest bow I have ever shot. Vince is a pleasure to deal with. You will not be dissapointed.
You won't find a better bow at twice the price!
WOW!!!!!!! Have already had my PM answered and will be giving Vince a call tomorrow. You guys are not joking. I am liking this deal already ;) Thanks, Craig
For the ultimate smooth pulling 'Hawk, I would advise all Tonkin cane limbs - cores and veneers.
I 2nd Rob,, & Vinces Cocobolo is "Real" sharp also !! Good Luck w/ the Bow, Im sure you'll Love It !!!
Hello, thanks again to each of you. Called Vince today and ordered my cocobolo w/ bocote and bamboo longbow :) Looking forward to shooting without all the gadgetry again. ;) Craig
I will have to call Vince too. I have only shot recurves however I want to try a longbow. Arthur
I'm have a bunch of nice bows and my Mohawk takedown is getting the call for an elk hunt next week in Oregon. Great design, quality and customer service.
I already have a "short" longbow in the collection but thanks to Tom(bentpole) I may still have to put in an order for one of these. You can't beat the price for such a smooth shooter.
Tom's Mohawk sure is whisper quiet. Too bad it wasn't a left so I could try it out.
Well ,Thank You Vaughn and Patrick! Vince at Mohawk will be happy with your report also. Patrick, you can always give Vince a shout. He should have a lefty laying around for you to try out if you like. Check the Sponsors Classifieds. Patrick, I didn't see any left handed bows there but you can call him. Warning if he does send you one you might just have to keep it and send him a check.
I have two - one with all yew limbs and one with bamboo core with the back & belly yew. For me, I prefer the all yew limbs. The yew bow is my bow for my upcoming elk hunt. Plenty fast, quiet, and accurate.
Hello, after speaking to Vince a few times I can say he is a heck of a good guy. Seemed like he wanted to make sure I got exactly what I wanted...... not the other way around. I for one am counting the days until my Mohawk longbow arrives :thumbsup: Craig
Craig, Congrats on a fine choice! That's from one Union Brother to another! What did you order by the way?
Hello Bentpole, 62" with cocobolo w/bocote strip riser with bamboo lams.......... and the dark bamboo he has. Looking forward to gettin it. Gonna take some time to getting used to shooting without gadgets thoug ;) So what local are you out of (I am 661 Plumbers and Steamfitters)? I just finished my five year apprenticeship in may but am behind on hours for my journeyman card. A few tough times around here. Have a good evening. Craig
Sheetmetal Workers Local 25 Northern New Jersey Craig tuff break on the work situation. New York City Tinknockers have had full employment for the past 6 months or so. We're kinda slow now but still working . Your new bow sounds awesome! Very easy to shoot bow. Wear an arm guard if your new to shooting longbows [lower brace height] But I haven't wacked my arm with any of my bows yet. Give me a shout when you get it if I can help you out.
Thanks ;)
just bought hatchchasers hawk and they are very sweet indeed..i finally found the bow i've been looking for for so long,you cannot buy a better bow for the buck like the man said at twice the price..where you hunt in oregon ausable ? i hunt burns area and eaglecaps.
little advice for ya cmh..shoot a lot and shoot from all different distances.don't shoot from one distance more than two arrows at a time and you'll be amazed at how fast you get the hang of it and start getting very acurrate.this advice was handed to me and its paid off huge benefits in my shooting...find your own style that works best for you then fine tune yourself and go for it. good luck to you
Thanks ;)
