I have not shot any Timberhawk bows but have spoken to the bowyer on the phone. He seems easy to work with.

62" 55@29 I can't remember, but I think it's cocobolo and zebrawood with red elm limbs and coco wedge.

I used to have this one.  Wish I still did.  Shot very well and was quiet.

60@28 64"  Maple and walnut I believe.

Thanks for posting Matthew.  That is a great looking bow.  I recently bought a Timberhawk and I like it so much that I am thinking about getting another one that has a lower draw weight -- I want to see some different wood combinations. I love the heavy riser.  Also, I put a skinny string on and I think it is the quietest recurve I have ever shot.  I shoot 3 under and it has been hard for me to get a recurve really quiet.

This is one I sold during a "Fit of Madness", brought on by an extreme need for funds. I regret it everyday. Fine bow. I've been thinking of putting in an order for one of his 2pc Longbows, they look sweet.

Scott is a great guy to deal with...and his bows shoot real well. Not bad to look at either!

I shot one of these at Compton's this year. I tried out a lot of take downs that day and the Timberhawk was definately among the best.

oneshot - that's one fantastic piece of wood in that riser.

I have been looking at the Timberhawk Bows for the last 2 years after shooting one at Michigan Traditional Rend. in Kalamazoo. I finally had Scott make a 54" Striker out of curly maple and Shedua with bamboo limbs under clear glass. What a beauty--53# @ 29".

I picked it up at Compton last summer and shot it for several hours that same day. I can't believe how smooth and quiet it is. On Nov. 20th, I killed my first deer with it-- a great P & Y 9 point buck. Sorry, no pics of bow yet.

These arent up close pictures of the bows...but a few pictures of animals that were takin with Timberhawk bows.

 (http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss140/Tradbow_shad/7pt.jpg)
This first one is of a 7 pt I took with my Timberhawk Longbow. 62" 52@28 Cocobolo/Zebra Wood Riser with Zebra wood limbs and Action Boo core.

 (http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss140/Tradbow_shad/Coyoterecurve001.jpg)
This is of the coyote I took with my Timberhawk Recurve. 60" 55@28 Cocobolo/Walnut Riser. Red Elm Limbs with a Action Boo core.

 (http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss140/Tradbow_shad/doe1.jpg)
This on is my girlfriend Stacey and her first ever bow kill. She shoots a Timberhawk Strike. 54" 50@28. Cocobolo/Shedua riser. Action Boo core limbs under black glass.


I would recommend an Timberhawk to anyone. I absolutely love these bows and will be ordering a Strike to turkey hunt with in the near future.

They are Beautiful Bows, and I do believe made in Southern Indiana to Boot!! Just WAY Out Of My Simple Budget! I Am Sure They Are Worth Every Penny Too!!

Mike Bolin- what are the woods in that riser...really neat looking.

Yes Bloomington I think. I am buying a bow this year so it is on my list of bows to shoot. The list keeps getting bigger.

Just got my 62 in takedown recurve from Scott 2 months ago. Love the bow! Only paid $560 for it. Shoots excellent! His 54 inchers are a bit cheaper (I think) and still shoot nice.

Ray, it is cocobola and osage. The osage has started to darken a bit and has a really rich color. It is a 58" bow, the shortest recuve I have owned and it very comfortable to shoot. I only draw 28", but I am sure it would be fine out to at  least 29". Great bows! Mike

Yes, Bloomington, Indiana.  Just south of Monroe Reservoir.

Shakes, the Strike is about $450 and Hunter takedown is $550 which isn't too bad for a brand new bow in my eyes.  If you talk to him I'm sure he could work out payments with you too.  He's a pretty fair guy.

Mike, pretty bow!

This was my first of 3 Timberhawks I had. This one was made back in 2000. I had sold it 3 years ago and just recently traded my 6th Blacktail to get it back.(thanks Terry!!)
Scotts bows are top-notch!!
It's also the bow pictured on my profile with my 1st trad Buck!
Cocobolo/ebony stripe riser---Yew limbs (of course!)

I've been shooting his bows for over 10 years now. I have 3 of them. This recurve and 2 longbows. I really love his new takedown longbow. He changed the handle up and it nests in the palm of your hand perfectly. I think the grip alone improved my shooting. Scott is a fantastic bowyer and better person.

The new takedown longbow. This one is 65# and rock solid.
 (http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m84/TJReceveur/BowSeparated.jpg)

This is a one piece longbow.

Scott's website is  www.timberhawkbows.com (http://www.timberhawkbows.com)  and shows some of his bows nicely.

I have to wait until July 31st to get mine. I give Scott a lot of credit. I am a newbie and had tons of questions. He was nice enough to take the time and just talk. As I said I can’t wait.

Well, It is 2012 and Scott is still at it, better than ever.  This is my 60 inch Strike in Zebrawood & Cocobolo.  Labor day 2012 my Timberhawk Talon should be ready. It is made of Chechen and Osage.

Discovering Scott Mitchell and his TimberHawks at Kzoo this year was a godsend for me.  Great guy who makes awesome bows!  I'll be getting another soon.  

If you get a chance, be sure to check out these sleepers.  Forgiving, smooth, fast...just a joy to shoot.
