Post by: paul11 on April 19, 2009, 12:09:00 PM
Just like to say Hi to all. I'm new to traditional archery. This site has been very informative, my brain is like a sponge! I would also like to show my 1st custom bow. It's a 62" Mohawk, 4 lams of boo with a coco, riser matte finish. I started with a low poundage bow so that i can practice on my form. Shoots very smooth, quiet, and has no handshock Thank you to Vince at Mohawk bows.

Welcome to the club. Great looking bow! JMO, Take the target outside. There's a recent thread of some good folks (me included) still eating high dollar home furnishings from shooting in the house.

Here's some good advice: Don't ever sell your first bow! No matter how tempted you become to "upgrade" or try something new.  You got yourself a real nice one so keep it.  You'll regret if you let it go.

Good to see a new trad archer. Great looking bow. I shot a couple and decided to order one myself. They are very smooth and accurate shooting bows with no handshock. Worth much more than Vince charges for them. One of the best values in custom bows right now, if not the best. Mine should arrive sometime after the first of May, can't wait.

the things i love about mohawks are, in no prioritised order ...

- very slim handle that's very torque free
- thin leather, laced-on, super comfy grip
- multiple riser accents
- overlays on BOTH sides of the riser AND limb tips
- 'd' braced limb shape
- trapped limb cross section
- tonkin cane limb cores AND veneers under clear glass
- extremely smoooooth draw and release
- fullerplast dead matte no-glare hunting finish
- lighweight, easy pointing, very stable on the release
- quality materials and superior build
- $425 price tag ... what??????  this can't last forever!!!   :D

Hi Paul, Hey great pictures of your new Mohawk bow. Thanks for telling me about the quality product VINCE creates. I just recieved my new Mohawk bow and it is so smooth to draw and it actually feels lighter than my other 50# bows. Ill be whitetail hunting with this one!

 Thanks Paul & Vince
