Title: TallTines Longbow
Post by: Chimaster on March 03, 2011, 03:29:00 PM
I picked this sweety up at Kalamazoo and have been so obseesed shooting it that I have not taken the time out to post pictures or publicly thank Brian for the great bow.

This is my first bow with snake skins and that Wessel kid did a great job with these diamonbacks!

The bow is 62" and 49# @ 28" and it fires my bamboo arrows like a rocket launcher!

It is hard to believe a bow with the D shape like this one can be so smooth, fast, and shock free.

I cannot wait to get her out in a few weeks for Kansas turkeys and to let the air out of a big blonde bear up at Stickflingers place later this spring   :thumbsup:

Wow!  Congrats on the new bow.  Looks like a real beauty.  What kind of quiver is that?  I like the green.

Almost forgot.  I can only shoot 20 yards inside, but I think she will get the job done.

Very nice looking bow!  With a group like that I'd say look out turkeys and bear!

I am   patiently awaiting my TallTines longbow.  I am hoping to take it bear hunting  too.  I am not going to subject myself to those wobbly bamboo shoots though.  Going to get some of Fletcher's super straight woods to try.

Hey, how much you want for that buffalo rug?

No begging Steve, I tried that and it made the wait longer.

Great looking bow Gary. How long is your riser. It looks shorter than others I've seen.

Wow ! What a beautiful bow!

Steve can't stand my bamboo arrows. I'am going to bring them on the bear hunt, just to give him something to dog me about. There has to be one odd ball in camp, keeps things exciting.

Nice..Nice...bow!

:biglaugh:    Hey, you shoot those Bamboo shafts perfectly...they would drive   ME nuts.  I understand it less that those wobble nockers can fly straight to the target than how YOU got your longbow before I did!

Very pretty and I like the name of the bow.  We are often tempted to buy some acreage in Missouri just for hunting purposes...and I always I would name it "Tall Tines."  Because that is generally what we see every year when we go there to hunt.

"One oddball in camp".....I was expecting more than that!

As far as killing a big blond bear with those sticks, we'll see what we can do! Where's the stone points?

That certainly is a beauty bow Gary....you're not helping make the wait for mine any easier....Ryan

Hey Ryan, I saw the video of the 2010 hunt. It was awesome footage. Hope our hunt will go as well as yours. Seem to be alot of bugs, your one tough guy, walking around in shorts and no head net! I hate bugs!!!!!

Post by: Manitoba Stickflinger on March 04, 2011, 10:14:00 AM
Thanks Gary! The bugs shouldn't be that bad yet when you're up here. Thermacells take care of them well. I'll do everything I can to make sure you all have great hunts. Do you plan on videoing that TT longbow take a monster color phase??

Bugs...no one told me there was gonna be bugs. Bears are ok, but bugs   :scared:  

Beauty of a bow! Awaiting my bomb proof bow from "that Wessel kid" as well. You guys save me some bears up there. I go the first week of June  :)

That is one beautiful bow and nice grouping at 20 yards. You will be death on the turkeys, bear and any other critter you decide to hunt with that setup.
