Title: Mr. Mohawk done good!!
Post by: on May 06, 2012, 12:09:00 PM
After two years of following Vince's "following" - reading (mostly between the lines) I finally  pulled the trigger on a Mohawk, specifically Vince's new Sparrowhawk longbow.

There are two people among many here at TG that command respect for their knowledge and overall contributions to our wonderful addiction.  

Rob D has given me a lot of helpful info in the past...I have a analytical way of looking at life and Rob can easily feed the need for data, subjective, objective, and otherwise.

RC holds the other card...he has terrorized the swamplands of the Georgia with amazing and consistent taking of game.

Both of these guys will tell you without hesitation that their 'Hawk is #1.

Armed with this information, I called Vince and a month later I received a package.

Vince, thanks for taking the time with me - the end result is a keeper!  

In about 20 minutes I get to spend the afternoon getting to know her....with any luck at all, we'll make meat this fall.

Any bow that looks that good must be a shooter!

Congratulations!!

It would be impossible to go wrong with a "Hawk"!
(just ask RC)

God bless,Mudd

Hey Eric,
The handle is a handfull LOL! And I have real big paws.

I send Vince a sketch with dimensions and photos. He made me a comfy "dish" that works just fine.

Here is a pic comparing my Half Breed limbs to those of the Sparrowhawk.

If that bow were 10# lighter, I'd trade you my whole bag of marbles for it. I love my Sparrowhawk too   :)

Finally got a chance to shoot her.  I'm trying to draw a comparison to other bows but that is not an easy task.  She is uniquely quick and soft in the hand...much more so in both attributes than the r/d bows I made several years ago.  

This Sparrowhawk is a keeper.  Just plain fun to shoot and so very forgiving to minor form error.  She has a good portion of the stability that the Hill shooters love plus a lot more.

As I find more time to shoot, the real personality of the Sparrowhawk will become evident....for now it is good enough to say "dandy".   :archer:
