Title: Mohawk Classic vs HH Tembo Comparison
Post by: Mudd on June 17, 2010, 08:44:00 PM
I was asked by a friend(Butch Speer) to give him a comparison between My Howard Hill Tembo 70" 42@28 and my new Mohawk Classic(named Vango) 68" 46@28.

Well my 1st reply to him was that I couldn't tell much difference except that the grips felt different.

He said "No! I mean performance wise." So I told him I would take a set of matched arrows out and shoot them through both bows and give him a report.

Here it is: I hardly tell any differences in their performance. I shot the same arrows out of each bow and both did exactly what I expected. The arrows went where I was looking.

I shot (4)-700+ grain woodies out of each bow at 20 yards, both seemed to love that heavy arrows

In my mind if I can pull all of my arrows with one hand and at one time, each time... that's good enough for me.

By the end of my testing I was sweating like a little pig that was being chased by the big bad wolf..lol Hence my brain wasn't working. I forgot to get pictures.

I just went out again with 2 carbons(God forgive me) GT5575's.
I shot one out of each bow at 20 yards.

The 1st picture is of my target. It's a small Banty egg sized pinkish ball fixed on a wire out on front of the eternity target.

OK you be the judge... is there any difference that's significant between them?

You may be correct Tim but that didn't translate its' self into the target over "Vango". In fact I will tell it now.. the arrow through the ball was shot out of "Vango" the other one is Tembo's.

Mudd, Vango wins by default, the riser is amazing.

Mudd-

I can't see the video. It says it was moved. I'm sure your having alot of fun. Vince's new Mohawk Classic's going to be a big hit.

Howard Hill would have liked the Mohawk Classic.

I am so sorry! I happen to be one of the most inept computer operators every.. for real!!

I accidentally deleted it from my folder when I was trying to do something else. I had wanted to save some down load time to my Facebook account so I tried blocking the video portion and this is the result.

"My bad!!"

Please accept my apologies for my ignorance.

But in my defense, my ole daddy always told me.. "Boy there ain't no point atall in you being so ignorant, iffen you didn't show it!"..lol
