Title: TallTines Kalamazoo Preview
Post by: talltines on January 26, 2012, 05:56:00 PM
I just wanted to take a minute and post pics of some of the bows I will have at Kzoo this weekend.  I'll have more but the rest are already packed in the truck and ready to roll.  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there.  Travel safe.....Brian

They are some fine pieces of craftsmanship, and excellent combinations of woods.

I am sad I will not be there to attend this year, but after drooling over these bows and wanting one of them my wife will be happy I am at home instead.

Title: Re: TallTines Kalamazoo Preview
Post by: Steve O on January 26, 2012, 07:53:00 PM
Wave riser.  I don't have a wave riser!  I have a Cocobolo riser, I have a Bocote Riser, but I   don't have a Bocote   AND Cocobolo riser    :knothead:

Brian, hope you have a few 64" longbows in the 45@28 range  :pray:
Title: Re: TallTines Kalamazoo Preview
Post by: Steve O on January 26, 2012, 09:29:00 PM
:goldtooth:  

Mike--I know there will be a really sweet  64"  53 @ 30 with a newly checkered riser somewhere close by...

Looking forward to seeing you and the rest of "The Gang" this weekend.

Man, they would be super sweet with some checkering:)  I really like the 2nd two.  Perfect for my twin brother and I.
Title: Re: TallTines Kalamazoo Preview
Post by: Dirtybird on January 26, 2012, 10:26:00 PM
Wow, those are some amazing combos.  The great thing is that the bows shoot as good as they look.  If you haven't shot one and if you get a chance to test one out at Kzoo you should.  Great bows.

Be forewarned and forearmed, if you shoot one, you'll be taking it home with you!  They are great eye candy, but they're even better shooters.  I believe Ripley would be appropo here, "Believe it or not!"    :)

Steve, those TT's look great next to a big bear, you will have to show off with one of your monster mulies.  Brian is already on the road with his Dad and Gene Wensel.  I will jot down all the specs and post them for you tonight.
Title: Re: TallTines Kalamazoo Preview
Post by: Steve Clandinin on January 27, 2012, 08:16:00 AM
SteveO,Ol'Mentor,you are so right,Some great trips planned this year,Nothing looks nicer than Bocote or Cocobolo draped over horns! Thank you my friend.
Title: Re: TallTines Kalamazoo Preview
Post by: Dirtybird on January 27, 2012, 08:26:00 AM
Steve you might have to get one and I'll get the other, twins but they will be maternal not identical.LOL

What I wish is if I could deliver it to you buddy!  Sounds like you are feeling a lot better and are going to make up for some lost time in the bush   :thumbsup:

SteveO,your so right,a big Elk and Moose hunt this fall with my son,and possibly bear this spring.My sons coming down for deer this Sept.I'm walking the Malls already trying to trim the eccess lard!LOL.Stringing and pulling bows already in anticipation.
David,I don't think we would go wrong with either of those two bows.It just blows my mind the talent some of these young fellas have,works of Art ,that shoot even better!
Title: Re: TallTines Kalamazoo Preview
Post by: gregg dudley on January 27, 2012, 09:18:00 AM
I am going to have to check some of those bows out in person some time.  They look sharp!
Title: Re: TallTines Kalamazoo Preview
Post by: David McLendon on January 27, 2012, 09:45:00 AM
Very nice, like that bocote/cocobolo wave riser. Brian do you have any plans to do some veneer splicing for footed limbs? I'm pretty sure that SteveO would have to have several of those, and likely me too.
Title: Re: TallTines Kalamazoo Preview
Post by: mooseman76 on January 27, 2012, 11:50:00 AM
Wow, beautiful bows.  I really like the cocobolo with the bocote wave.  Too bad I will be unable to attend again this year, sure would like to get my mitts on one of those...Mike
Title: Re: TallTines Kalamazoo Preview
Post by: Longbow917 on January 27, 2012, 01:05:00 PM
Wow~  Some if the Finest looking risers I have EVER seen.  It is just dang hard to beat bocote and cocobolo, them two woods seem to have been made for each other!  Makes me want to come back over to the dark side (recurves that is)  :laughing:  Great looking bows TT.

Steve--they are right around 55#.  I think one is 54 and the other 55.  There are so many people it is tough to get in there to check    ;)

Yep, I had to use a few strategically placed elbows to get to see the ones pictured.  I don't know if I'll be able to walk past them again.  Just when I thought I had bought my last bow, I see the functional pieces of art in the Tall Tines booth.

Post by: Steve Clandinin on January 29, 2012, 12:43:00 AM
Dave,It was a pleasure .I had in my mind those bows would be gone ,if they didn't sell one would have loved the sights of the wide open plains and then off to the birch forests of Alberta listening intent ,with frost on its nose to the shrill bugle and guttural grunt of the big Northern bulls.I know those twins would have done there part.LOL Why we do what we do!

That is the prettiest chunk of Bocote I have ever seen put into a bow riser Brian...The Cocobolo is just as pretty but my hands are just aching to hold that Bocote one...I wood love to see one like that in a one piece on my bowrack someday....Great job..  :thumbsup:
