I was finally able to get out and shoot my new TallTines. All I can say is all the "old timers" are right...longer is better! I decided to try a 64" rather than my standard 60". I do not see any disadvantage. As far as the Food Network; every time I draw it, I hear Paula Dean say "Butt-ahhh".

The riser is Chechen and Maple and the limbs are as gorgeous a Myrtle as I have seen. My son has a Lacrosse tournement all weekend, but I should be able to sprinkle in more pics during breaks in the action. Brian did a superb job as always :thumbsup:
Nice bow Steve.
I was wondering about the title? Good metaphor!
Great looking bow!!! :archer2:
She sure is a looker, and shoots well. Enjoy
I really hate it that you think of me as an "old timer"! There was a time--LF
Nice bow! I too like the feel of a longer bow. Recurve or longbow. Current recurve is 64", smooth as "Butt-ahhh" is right!
Lefty Fred, I am sure Mitten is saying the same thing ;) He is always singing the praises of the long recurve. This baby feels so good I have already made the call to get back on the list for another that is not quite so fancy that I won't feel guilty beating up.

Dealing with Wessel is so easy. I tell him the length and weight I am looking for and basically brown, black, or red for color and tell him to pick what he thinks is best for woods...the guy has an incredible eye for what is inside those blocks of wood.
" All I can say is all the "old timers" are right...longer is better!" That`s what SHE said. Ha! Nice bow.
:laughing: @ Bigriver!!
I want to give that one a test drive. Beautiful bows keep coming out of the Tall Tines shop...as always
Beauty there! I have always been a "long" guy. Can't wait to see my new Talltines Longbow. Long of coarse ;)
Sure is a looker!
LOL,You've come along way Grasshopper !LOL
Beautiful bow! :clapper: I thought this was going to be a cooking thread :) !
That's a beauty Steve. Too pretty to shoot! I'm with you. I like them longer as well. Generally at least 62 inches.
I got 2 64 inch TT curves.
Awesome feeling bows.
Definatly Butt-Ahhh
thats what she said
Nice looking bow Steve, but your in dire need of a few matching Thunderhorn bow quivers.
I can't understand Brian letting you adorn his handiwork with some of the contraptions I've seen :^))))
WOW, that a nice one.....I have a 64" Zipper, I know what you mean about longer recurves :thumbsup: !!
Bob, Bob, Bob...nothing better than a Great Northern Kickback quiver!

You should check with Brian; he is running the exact same model ;)
I have had some rough looking quivers on my TTs in the past, but ever since Bob Brumm brought out the Kickback last year, ALL of my quiver needs have been satisfied.
I do need a few more sets of T/D mounts, thus the strap on model for now.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I've yet to try a 64" curve but always liked a 62"er. They 60" TT I have is smooth enough couldn't imagine a 64!
By the way that quiver looks sweet!
Nice looking bow, and "The Butter Queen" I like it. God bless.
Good looking bow, Steve O!!
The Butter Queen. :D
She may talk like Paula Dean, but she looks and "cooks" like Giada De Laurentis!

The Myrtle is so rich, dark, and deep it reminds me of a very high grade shotgun stock. :thumbsup:
Steve
What a beauty...For me longer has always worked better. (and for those of you whose minds are in the gutter..get out! Ha).
Can't wait to see mine thats coming this week, its a 62" with the same limbs as my 64.
It looks like your par taking in one of my favorite past times...stump shooting! You should see my stump trophy room.
Oh yea, Giada De who? Paula Dean is a good ole american girl!

Hey
I don't know if you knew this but those purple little flowers usually have them nice plump morales hidden somewhere.
I gotta admit a longer bow length displays more o's in smoooooooth. BUT it creates an occasional lower limb problem for those of us under six feet tall. Another obstacle for the vertically challenged. UB
Beautiful bow steve and can't wait to see some critters that ya christen with that one thanks for the pics!!
Man that's some good looking Myrtle. Those are some pretty sharp arrows as well!
Tall Tines good... :bigsmyl:
So Barry size does matter...hmmmm! LOL!
Beautiful. I can't believe is not Butter. Has he ever considered a '50's style one piece?
Hmmmph, "Old Timers"...you gotta listen to me Steve-O...remember that looooonnngg riser you were making fun of at K-zoo - slap on the long limbs and you got a 70 inch recurve. You think I shoot those things just 'cause I like a bow that's longer than I am?
Pretty bow, by the way....and you watch just WAAYYYY to much cooking on TV! (and it don't take much watching of cooking on TV to be WAAAYYY too much!)
;)
Yeah buddy--you and your Dad always have me thinking--I was just talking about him with the "old timer" comment though...everybody is SO sensitive :p
That's a beauty Steve. Brian does do a wonderful job matching woods. I have not tried a 64" Tall Tines but it's something I've been considering.
I picked up a Custom from Brian just prior to turkey season but havent made time to share it with the gang just yet. Kinda like you did, I told him I wanted a bow with dark brown tones and gave him a length and weight and he created a masterpiece.
Enjoy your new addition, Trap
As Paula Dean would put it: "Ya all sure have a beautiful bow"! Now for some chicken fried venison. :thumbsup:
Very nice. Just got word that my new Tall Tines is almost ready. Can't wait!
That is a beauty!
I'm glad you like your 64"er Steve. All my bows are 64" recurves except the new 62' TT I got last fall. I will be using that one next week for bear. Mike
Very nice!!
Steve, beautiful work of art from Brian. I'm sure you'll get be getting that one bloody soon :archer2:
