Title: I'm digging theseTall Tines threads
Post by: Sean B on June 15, 2013, 06:37:00 PM
I'm really getting into all these Tall Tines threads that have been on here lately.  I've been a Black Widow shooter for the last 18 years.  I picked up a Morrison Cheyenne 2 years ago, and loved it.  Now I'm seeing all the threads on Tall Tines and I'm thinking that I might want one of them too!!  I can shoot most bows pretty much the same.  If you have a picture lets see it!

Sean,

I have some TT pics I can share from me and friends for starters. I was fortunate enough to purchase the first TallTines sold to the public. Barry Wensel and I were shooting with a large group at one of The Professional Bowhunters Society Odd Year events in WI and we stayed back from the group a target or two so Barry could run some arrows thru ol #1. Not long after that he had one on order and has managed to take a "few" animals with it. Here are a couple memorable ones:

This is actually #1 and #2. I was so impressed with the TT the first time I shot it I called a buddy and he ordered one as well sight unseen (he now has 4 of them).

Cocobolo riser and Tulipwood limbs:

My all time favorite may be the ugliest TT ever concocted (my own doing). I camo dipped one and it has been thru the ringer.

Great pics Steve!   Someday I will travel across the state to try a Tall Tines.  A three piece LB is high on my priority list and Brian seems to be a fine bowyer.

Post by: jonsimoneau on June 15, 2013, 11:27:00 PM
I have not had a chance to shoot one yet but they are at the top of the list as far as a bow to try for me. If Uncle Barry can shoot them with his hat on crooked I figure I might be able to shoot them with my hat on straight! HA!

I have been looking for a go to 3 piece T/D for traveling.

To make a long story short, talked with Brian this morning, sent a deposit and have a Tall Tines 3 piece T/D with hybrid limbs on the way!

Glenn, I'm currently re-designing my one piece recurve.  Now that the hybrid limb longbow is ready to go, I can spend some time getting the one piece the way I want it.  A 1 piece longbow is in the works as well.  Stay tuned....

One of the sharpest "standard" risers ever IMO:

Steve O - one successful harvest shot of many for Daniel I'm sure. He was one happy dude. Look forward to seeing you guys again.

Mike V. - that is one classy looking bow. Very rich in color, and really blends in well in the timber too.

A few days ago, I showed my wife the pics of Gene's new T/T bow, the 'Frenchy' one.     ;)    Well my wife has been on a cleaning kick lately, and last night, there on my dresser was Brian's Tall Tines card I had picked up some time ago.  Hhmmmm. . .  So I says "Honey, this card, where did it come from? Is this A SIGN ??" She said, no it's a card. When she realized it was the bowyer of Gene's bow, she said it was REALLY just a card.     :D     Well, maybe next year. I bought a beautiful Dwyer longbow earlier this year, so I can't whine too much. But I agree with you Sean, looking at all of this bow hunter's "bling" gets the wheels a churn in'. It's going to happen some day. Just hard to decide recurve or longbow, much less wood combinations. But keep the pics coming guys.

It wouldn't be fair to Brian if we only talked about how beautiful these bows are. Great looks are obvious, but his bows are flat out perfomers as well!! I bought mine for hunting, not to look at....but I sure do like looking at it   :bigsmyl:

Awww heck. Might as well join in the fun. I don't have a Talltines recurve. That is changing soon. I do have this on the way, though.

*Talltines longbow with charcoal dymondwood with checkering, stained English Harewood veneers, 64".

It looks strangly familiar. Like I've seen a similar bow before  :)
