Title: Two Tracks or Mohawk pics(Thanks guys!)
Post by: Rob W. on December 19, 2011, 03:37:00 PM
Could you guys and gals post your longwalker or Mohawk pics? I think I'm going to be able to get a new bow this year and can't decide. Any other info on them would also be appreciated. Thanks, Rob

With regard to other info, I haven't had any experience with the TwoTracks but, I have had 4 Mohawks and it is THE bow I take to the woods and shoot the best.  Smoooooooth, and Vince is GREAT to work with!

Good luck with whichever you choose.

Nice bows guys. I wish I had the chance to shoot both but I'm not sure I'm going to make it to any expo's. Going to be a tough decision.

Keep em coming!

Chuck's Longwalker is a thing of beauty.  Quick, whisper quiet and hits like a hammer.  His design shoots an arrow with excellent cast and you can't even hear it!

Oh and try to find a flaw in his fit and finish...it can't be done!

You won't find a prettier bow than this Two Track Ambush.

Blade,that Ambush has to be one of THE nicest bows I've ever seen,those Wood combos are outstanding!

I talked to Two Tracks today.
He was busy picking out some very special wood for a run of Pure Michigan bows.

Don't think a Pure Michigan bow is only for us trad folk from Michigan. It really is just a fine selection of LOCAL wood that Chuck can hand pick and assemble a great bow for anyone.  :thumbsup:

Bladepeek is speaking the truth!!  This Ambush is awesome!!!  :)  
A Mohawk is on my list of bows to try out as well!!  :)

Well its going to be a Longwalker. The wait begins!

Not 100% on wood combos but will include hardwoods native to Indiana (why should you Michigan boys have all the fun   :D   )

More pics to hold me over would help.

Congratulations Rob! Both great bows. Chuck will do a great job for you. Do you have a favorite Indiana wood to get your list started with?
Title: Re: Two Tracks or Mohawk pics(Thanks guys!)
Post by: Rob W. on March 16, 2012, 09:06:00 PM
owlbait,
I always thought persimmon would be cool but will have to talk to Chuck.

Walnut, Elm, and Sycamore are on my list.

Does Twotracks make a two piece?
Title: Re: Two Tracks or Mohawk pics(Thanks guys!)
Post by: Rob W. on March 16, 2012, 09:15:00 PM
I haven't seen a 2 piece but Chuck is a great guy to deal with. I would give him a call and see if he offers that as an option.
Title: Re: Two Tracks or Mohawk pics(Thanks guys!)
Post by: owlbait on March 16, 2012, 09:17:00 PM
He had some really cool spalted sycamore and some great walnut. Persimmon might be interesting. I'd like to see if Chuck can pull that off!
Title: Re: Two Tracks or Mohawk pics(Thanks guys!)
Post by: Rob W. on March 16, 2012, 09:26:00 PM
I also have some spots full of sassafras. I have no idea if it would be a good bow wood but thought it would be something different.
Title: Re: Two Tracks or Mohawk pics(Thanks guys!)
Post by: el greco on March 17, 2012, 01:10:00 AM
Can't tell you which to choose but Chuck is a very solid guy.
Title: Re: Two Tracks or Mohawk pics(Thanks guys!)
Post by: owlbait on March 17, 2012, 08:19:00 AM
I read that sassafras was used as a selfbow wood years ago. The sassafras I've seen in veneers was pretty light colored and plain looking. Maybe stained?
