I received my new TT and a used MOAB today...Thank you USPS!!! Killy can I have you call this lady though...she keeps telling my wife she wants to be me....cause it's like Christmas year round with all the packages I get...she ain't helping! The TT is one Brian had at KZoo...it is one of his 2 tone coco and bacote I think. 60" bow with 2 sets of limbs 1st set 45# @ 28" (for my son) 2nd set 55# @ 28" (for me)....I know she'll shoot like a dream and looks real good to boot. The MOAB is used from the classifieds...but still very nice. I keep saying I'm not going to buy another LB but after seeing Terry's MOAB at Ray's I thought just one more try. Will give feedback after shooting tomorrow. I know the TT will shoot just like my other....but real curious about the MOAB.

I'm the original owner of the MOAB. Man is she sweet. It needs a new string. Killed a my first trad turkey with it. Nice buy.
Great looking bows!!!
The only thing better than getting a new bow in the mail is getting two new bows in the mail !
Good for you makes the rest of us jealous. All these longbows are giving me the itch to pick one out and order one. Congrats on the bows. :thumbsup:
Wow, that TT is gorgeous. Congrats.
I agree...Wow, that TT is georgeous....and that MOAB is sweet, I wanted that bow after shooting it. :banghead: :banghead:
Terry,
You've got it pretty bad when you've got bows coming and you don't even know what they are made of... :biglaugh:
I can just hear the call; "Brian, I don't care what they are, just keep them coming!" Hah!
Those are both fantastic looking bows Terry!
I knew that bow looked familiar ! Congrats !

WOW very nice.
That Bocote one on the left looks GOOD
Shoots better ;)
Geeez... you guys are killing me with these pics. I'm pretty excited on getting mine sometime this summer. :( Long ways off. Can't decide on which wood yet, but that brazilian rosewood looks real nice. :thumbsup:
It has GOT to quit snowing here in West Virginia!!!!!! Congrats on your new toy's, I applaud and envy you!
Beautiful TT!!
Wiping drool over that Tall Tines!!!
Very nice,congrats on a great of beautiful bows!
Beautiful pair good luck with them!
Beautiful bows. Congrats!
Excellent!! :thumbsup:
I don't like to think that a MOAB could play second fiddle, even to a bow that's as pretty as your TT. Why don't you just figure out how to get it to me so there aren't any hurt feelings....lol
You had a "red banner day" by anyone's standards.
Congratulations!!
Please don't let weather be a dragging point at getting both of those shot, w/ a full report on both bows posted back here before the weekend is out.
God bless,Mudd
Some guys got bows out the wassou. would like to try a Moab sometime.
It is been your lucky day indeed.I love that TT!!!
Both great bows. If that MOAB doesn't work for your right off, give it some time. I loved it right off, but it still took some time to real get familiar with it. It first it thumped my bad elbow a little. Now I don't feel a thing. It is not the most accurate target shooting bow for pounding the paper shot after shoot I have owned. The TT will probably be better for that. However, the MOAB when stump shooting just seem to know where I want the arrow to go and gets it there. Definitely my most accurate first shot bow ever.
Now we need some shooting reports.
I am glad that MOAB got there ok. That recurve is unbelievable!! Great dealing with you. Thanks, Lonnie
Well alittle nasty weather wise today but had to shoot....the TT shoots just like I thought it would...great! Brian builds a great bow. Just need to get Allen to build me some skinny strings and I'll be set.
Steve O...you are to blame for the TT's after seeing your first set of twins I had to have 1, put my name back on the list after receiving the 1st....couldnt pass this one up at KZoo...my next 1 will be a 1 pc. When this one came in I just blamed you and those dang twins...my wife didnt even want to know what I was talking about.
The MOAB shoots really good as well...not being a LB guy it will take some time. Thanks Lonnie for a nice bow at a great price....shot some new to me Axis 400 shafts cut to 30.5" with 100 gr insert and 300 gr field point....they shot like darts...really liked it....have brace at 7" right now.just love the looks of a LB. You MOAB shooter jump in with any recommendations on brace etc....thanks in advance.
Terry, that's a couple sweet rigs for sure!
I'm hoping to have my TT soon, can't wait to give it a try.
I can sure make you up a string or two, just give me a shout.
Allen
My MOAB likes a weaker arrow than what I calculate on Stu's spine calculator. I have a 51@28, but draw to about 29 1/4- 29 1/2". I shoot a 31" 5575 with 100 brass and 145 point. I also shoot a 400 @ 31 1/2" with 100 brass and 125 point. Arrow three is 31" 5575 with 50 brass and 175 point. These span about a 5# range of spine and all shoot well. I am zeroing in on the final spine for the bow with broad heads now.
Nice looking bows!!!! Especially the MOAB. ><>
Awesome sticks!
I'm a longbow shooter but the riser wood in the TT really looks good.I once got two bows the same day,a Treadway 3-piece and a Morrison Shawnee and my (loving) wife still brings that up.Enjoy
Hey I've got two new talltines bows too. Just picked the other one up at Kzoo also. They both shoot great! Brians selection of woods is so good I'am thinking of selling some of my other bows so I can order another one!
Gary...I saw your half of the twins at KZoo and loved it....Brian sure has a good source for wood thats for sure. I am just waiting on his 1 pc recurves now....can't wait.
:thumbsup: Nice bows.
Terry sweet looking can't wait to get my hands on my TT.
