Title: Ordered a Mohawk LB
Post by: K2 on December 31, 2010, 07:27:00 PM
I went on Vince's site and ordered a new 1 Pc LB.  I ordered the riser in Cocobolo with a Bocote flare, Tonkin cane limb core and bamboo veneers.  Should be smooth.  I have 6 long weeks to wait.  Let me see pics if you have any of Mohawk LB.  Thanks.  Ken

I have a one piece  Mowhawk Lb with almost the same woods you are getting, I love it, 56@28 and it shoots great. It has brought home an elk and a deer now in three years. Sorry no pics though.

You made a huge mistake ordering that bow from Vince; the stress of waiting is just too much.  Have him ship it to me instead ;-)

All yew limbs with bubinga riser, 68", 45# @ 29".

I hate Mohawks.... NOT! I own 3 How many times have I said this. I have owned   and shot the best. The only bow I shoot now is a 'Hawk. I own 3 a 62"er 49#'s @ my 27 "'s. Cocoabolla /bocote riser boo cores and dirty boo veneers. SWEET Bow! Then there 's my 64"er GREY ACTIONWOOD riser actionboo cores BLACK GLASS. 50lbs@ my 27" draw. THIS BOW IS A FREAK faster and quieter  than any Trad Bow I ever shot! Check the archives! First deer I drew back on with this bow was dead as soon as I hit it. Perfect heart shot. 14 yards.Then there's my PRETTY MOHAWK a 2 piece. Perfect Cocoabolla riser actionboo cores Museum quality Red Elm veneers WHAT A BEAUTY!  50lbs @ my 27" draw too. Gotta wack something with this one.  I love my MOHAWKS!

Ken,
Almost Like Yours. Scaling down for 2011. 28 bows is a bit over kill.

Well, heck I can jump on board.  I have 2 Hawks.  I have a 40 pounder my son shoots, 64 inches and a 66 incher that is 54 @ 30.  I put a new string on the other day, beautiful sunny 16 degrees with a bit of a breeze.  The string is black and yellow from SBD.  WOW, the bow is noticably quicker and quieter.  Also, still hits where I aim, no hand shock!!  All boo limbs and 66 inches makes my 30 inch draw feel a lot lighter than 54 pounds.  I love shooting and looking at my Mowhak!  I bet you will too.  Good on ya buddy!

Bob.  :archer:
