Title: Mowhawks, the best rf/df longbow I've shot?
Post by: steadman on April 18, 2010, 10:10:00 PM
YES!! Without a doubt. I have been building my own longbows for 8 years or so, and lately have been having a lot of problems. So i bought one used from a fellow tradgang guy a couple weeks ago (eagle eye). First of all the transaction was flawless, what a great group of people on this site.
I've heard all the great reviews, especially from Rob who can't get enough of them. Then a good friend, Mr. KSTRAPPER went and got one as well. Well he couldn't say enough good words. So after countless attempts of trying to buy his     :knothead:    I got one from Clint. I got back from a great CA turkey hunt to find the long awaited mailing slip. After opening and seeing the bow for the first time, I knew it was going to be a shooter. The workmanship is flawless.

Now what I've heard about these bows are:
1- smooth
2- quiet
3- quick
4- shooters
About number 1, well I swore the bow was mismarked at 10 pounds lighter and actually pulled out my bow scale to check it. It was what it's marked. The bow is 64" and at my 29 1/2" draw feels smooth as silk all the way back.Number two, just a soft thump at the release. three, it seema quick, but can't confirm with numbers, but plenty quick for me with a 720 gr arrow. And four, well here's the group at 25 yards.

So if your thinking about getting one of Vinces bows, get it, you won't regret it!  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Yep, they sure are a sweet shooting bow. I've bought and sold many bows over the years, but I don't think I'll be selling my Mohawk anytime soon.

:bigsmyl:  I thought you would like it my friend and I will see if I can get you some snake skins ASAP.

Vince makes a awesome bow and I couldn't be happier with mine, Just wish I could find the time to get out and break it in with a big ol Kansas gobbler  :archer:

:thumbsup:   I really like that riser! The bow I sent to Brother Mudd to try out,  was a bow no one wanted. I too bought it used.  Cocoabolla riser ,bocote flair, all Tonkin Cane limbs ,dirty boo veneers . 62"'s and 52@ 28"s. Very sweet shooter!   Good luck with yours, and good hunting!

You know Michael I missed a turkey in CA with those GT you gave me. But with a different LB. Kevin can't put in for goats for 2 years, then they might be in trouble  :)
