Title: I did it again.......a Mohawk
Post by: ron w on January 29, 2013, 10:07:00 AM
I was on the proper path to thin the bow rack down....but then it happened. A 66" Mohawk 2 pc. longbow pops up at my specs......and after a quick Pm and a price talk....it will be on it's way shortly. It's the Classic and should be a nice addition to my stable. I'm just to easy....lol!

I think that looks just like the one I'm getting but mine is a take down. I test drove one from Bentpole a couple of years ago and I liked it, just a bit heavy for me....this one should be a keeper!

Ron,
 I was certain when I saw you post to the thread on the classifieds that the Mowhawk was going to your house.

  Good luck with that Mowhawk looks like a real nice one...!

Ron, If that bow had been at 52# like the others, I would have beat you to it. You're gonna love it.

With my 29" draw it's gonna be about 49# which is about perfect at 66" ,at least for me!

By the way, I bought Andrew's Wild Horse Creek Vision.

I sold my 64" Liberty Contender after I purchased my 66" smoother Mohawk, but the Contender is a fine bow.  I took a hard look at Andrew's 66" Contender.

I hope to have the Mohawk on Friday, if the weather holds I'll get out and give her a test drive!

The Classic Mohawk came in the mail today......Hope to shoot it tomorrow. Looks nice and I like the way the connection hinge works. Nicely finished in a satin clear over the black glass. I'm getting to be fond of black glass. I'm hope'n the weather takes a break so I can get out and run a few arrows out of it!

There is still one bow that will trigger me into reminiscing time and time again with regard to the most desired euphoric shot experience. That would be a Mohawk....
Title: Re: I did it again.......a Mohawk
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on February 02, 2013, 09:59:00 AM
Ron, I will take pictures but need a ride first lol.

I cant wait to shoot it. I shot one at Shawn's bunny hunt back in 2009.  It was definitely a bow I had wanted for a long while.
Title: Re: I did it again.......a Mohawk
Post by: kat on February 02, 2013, 10:00:00 AM
Looking forward to seeing it. Congratulations.

BTW I dont think Terry's counting problem had anything to do with fingers and toes.  I think he was hit in the head too many times by people he associates with in the ice cream gang. (local bow club reference).   :biglaugh:

Post by: ron w on February 02, 2013, 11:08:00 AM
Took the Mohawk out and shot it a few times this AM. My 60-65 cedars flew excellent and were just rockets. I have to tune a bit to get it silent but I'm impressed. Very similar to my Osprey, both about the same weight.....they will make a good pair to take on a hunting trip.

Ron, I had a 66" 45# Sparrowhawk. My very favorite bow. Cocobolo riser with bamboo cores and dirty boo veneers. I didn't have any woodies at the time, but CE90's with 250gr up front bent around that sideplate real nice. Best shooting bow I had, but then came a switch (2nd time) to the left side and it went on it's way. Aren't they sweet shooting bows? Have 2 "righties" on the rack which will stay there, but it's filling fast with "lefties".

Seriously think I need a bigger rack. Way too many nice bows out there to enjoy yet   :)
Title: Re: I did it again.......a Mohawk
Post by: ron w on February 02, 2013, 01:21:00 PM
Ron, I just shot it with some Ash 60-65 shafts and I am impressed.

I want to thank Pokerdaddy for being a great guy to deal with and selling me a great bow!!   :thumbsup:
Title: Re: I did it again.......a Mohawk
Post by: ron w on February 16, 2013, 10:47:00 PM
Now that I have had this Mohawk for a couple of weeks I can honestly give my thoughts on it. I really like the connection hinge, hardly even know it's there. As far as shooting it......excellent, good speed and cast very tolerant for arrow spine. I have shot 50-55, 55-60, 60-65, cedar, ash, and laminated birch, 2016, 2117, and 2216 and this bow doesn't seem to care. One of the best used bows I have ever bought from the classifieds. I'm glad pokerdaddy let it go at a fair price   :notworthy:    :notworthy:

Awww, shucks Ron, ur gonna make me blush  :banghead:  .  I only NEED a couple three more and I'll be content   ;)  .

First priority right now is getting our first travel trailer in the coming months.  Really excited to spend more time with the family at some of our great shoots here in Michigan, rather than just driving to and from in a day.  And hopefully we can make it to Denton Hill soon and meet more great TradGangers like yourself!!

Andrew,
I was down to three, until I bought your Wild Horse Creek Vision and then I bought a Leon Stewart takedown slammer.  Too many bows!

So yesterday I shot all five, thinking I could pick one to sell.  Enjoyed shooting, had a grin on my face, but couldn't pick one to sell.  A lot of very fine bows.

Rob

Enjoy your new Mohawk Ron. I bought a one piece standard Mohawk a couple of years ago and absolutley love it.52#@28" and 64". I just got a new take down with the same specs for air travel. I also like the black glass. My search is over for the perfect bow for me. Good luck and enjoy

Arrows were grouping for me quite well.  In fact I remember ron telling me to use my own arrows at one point   :readit:   . Good bow    :thumbsup:
