Title: Nuther' Mohawk
Post by: Eric Sprick on June 04, 2010, 12:43:00 AM
Well I got home today and as promised my new Mohawk was waiting for me.  This is my second from Vince and it turned out even better than I imagined, I'm thrilled.  Vince has a customer for life!  Eric.

Specs are:  Osage riser with Coco radius and overlays, limbs are bamboo with Yew veneers.
66"  55@28.

I really like the wood combinatons. The Osage riser with Cocobola running through is really cool. Was that you idea?

Really nice looking bows! Thanks for sharing.

If you are anywhere near mid-Missouri get in touch and once my Classic gets here we'll do some shooting.

Columbia has an open to the public static range(free) and the city of Fulton may even have theirs finished by now.

There are quite a few traditional shooters in and around this area.

God bless, Mudd

PS: I think I might be seeing traditional archery and the love of it growing overall as people seem to have started looking for things that are more pure and honest.

Thanks, everyone for your comments.  Yep, I picked the woods, etc.  I thought long and hard about it, when that osage ages I think it will look even better.  Super smooth at 66".  Eric.

Mudd, I will do that.

Don't know what else can be said that has not already been stated, but WOW. That riser wood contrast is awesome. Sweet looking bow!

Don't know anything about the Mohawks, but if it shoots 1/2 as good as it looks, its a go-to-bow.

Just got back in town earlier...Vince it shoots GREAT, just as I suspected!

Had a few pm requests for more shots of the Yew limbs, I didn't get good shots of them the first time so I decided to share.
This also gives me more opportunity to brag on this Mohawk...I can't help it!  :bigsmyl:   (http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/ruger1970/new004.jpg) (http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/ruger1970/new007.jpg) (http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/ruger1970/new001.jpg)
