Title: New To Me Mohawk!
Post by: Worm5503 on February 28, 2011, 10:39:00 PM
Hello all, would like to show off my new to me Mohawk longbow...it is 62" and 58#@28".  I was lucky enough to acquire this bow in a trade with Barry of Lefties R Us.  Barry was a pleasure to deal with and I could not be happier with the trade.  I have not got to shoot the bow that much yet, but it is very smooth drawing and I am very pleased with the few shots I have put through it.

nice 'hawk indeed, congrats.

fyi - it might pay to experiment with different brace heights for any mohawk.  i have/had 'hawks in lengths 62", 64", 66", and 68".  for the most part they all worked best for me in the lower brace height range.  my pair of 62" t/d 'hawks work best for me at 6-5/8", give or take 1/8" or so.

Thanks for the tip Rob...I was wondering about the brace height.  I haven't played around with it too much yet, but have been shooting some and absolutely love this bow.  It is a lil heavier than most of my other bows, but doesn't feel it at all.

Nice one,   and if its like mine it will be alot of fun to shoot.  

Thanks for the brace info Rob,  im running my 62" at 7",  its what it was set at when I recieved the bow and it shot well so I havent messed with it.   I may drop it down and see what happens.

the 6-5/8" brace height on my pair of 62" t/d 'hawks has proven to be the sweet spot for me.  i'm using my own endless 8 strand dyneema bowstring with loops padded to 10 strands (20 strands doubled).  the lowered strand count gives a nice feel to the release and further quiets an already quiet longbow.
