Title: Awesome new longbow!
Post by: Deadsmple on January 24, 2015, 12:46:00 PM
man do I love my new longbow! Thanks to Mike at Kittatinny Archery for the awesome new bow. This thing can really send a 700+ grain arrow down range!

I have been spending some time with Vaughn shooting our bows. I must say that his new bow that Mike made is a real bolt thrower. I have also been noticing how quite it is. Think I'll have to start saving my money.

Tank Killer is an awesome bow....Mikey is really on top of his game now. His bows are gaining popularity in both Jersey and NY. I enjoyed your original video on FB. Good luck with the bow Vaughn

Vaughn congrats on the acquisition of your new Tank Killer! She's a beauty! I'm really liken mine! Probably the fastest straight limbed longbow I ever owned or shot. Mike's Tank Killer and Delaware Hybrid are proof of his skills!

Hey Vaughn, long time no hear. Beautiful bow, I've been hearing good stuff about them. Pretty cool video too!

Post by: Deadsmple on January 25, 2015, 10:01:00 AM
Hey Paul, yes it has been a while since I've been here on TG, but I really felt the need to share my experience with this bow. I think you would be interested in Mike's new hybrid, it's an even faster nail driver than the Tank Killer.

Rich that is just a simple ring release similar to the old Gold 6 release.

Vaughn ....... believe that's a 6 Gold release.    :goldtooth:
Title: Re: Awesome new longbow!
Post by: Deadsmple on January 25, 2015, 11:43:00 AM
my bad, I believe you are right Will, it is the 6-Gold release I was referring to.

also it's Kititinny Archery not Kittatinny

Dan, I don't know who you are talking about, but I can tell you that Mike is a straight guy. He is as straight a shooter as they come. For you to come on here and throw out an accusation like that without even knowing who you are talking about just shows exactly the low and crooked stature of your character sir. I'm glad to see you are from Jersey as well as my chances of running into your low life is increased, and I would gladly help straighten you out.

:mad:   ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! Mike is a man of great personal integrity and a man of his word. You might do some research before posting anything that even suggests such a thing about such a well respected and good man.

What is it that's so fun about watching someone shoot his bow! Pretty cool. Would love to hear about how that release works. Pretty cool
Title: Re: Awesome new longbow!
Post by: joe skipp on January 26, 2015, 07:08:00 PM
I'm sure glad you guys squared Dan away before I jumped in...the only thing I saw Mikey rip off were a few beer caps after a long hard hunt.

Dan...you need to stop by Mike's shop, introduce yourself and have an enjoyable afternoon talking bowhunting and shooting bows.

I've been bowhunting with Mikey since 1997 and never looked back. Couldn't ask for a better bowhunting partner....along with Southpawshooter.
By the way Vaughn...you can be Mikey's bouncer at the door....   :laughing:    :archer2:

:eek:    :scared:    :eek:  Just saw this. Mikey bamboo has Golden Hands! Dan bree we all know who that "other" bowyer was. Obviously not our Bud Mikey. Hey Ron Sharpster good to see you here! He's actually working on a RECURVE!!! I was going to be #1 but if you want you could go first!   :biglaugh:

well guys I finally had a chance to do a little fine tuning of my set up and I now have a set of arrows right around 700-705 grains TAW that tune really well with this bow. they also are the same set up for my HH Big Five that is 8#'s heavier at my draw. Since they work great out of both bows I did a lot of side by side comparisons today. Even without the benefit of a chrono I can see the Tank Killer has proven to hold it's own if not surpass the Big Five. It's shooting just as flat and just as fast out to 50yds. I'm a happy camper!

TexasKing, no no web site.  PM either Vaughn, Joe Skipp, Southpaw Scott,myself, or the man himself bamboo {Mike} for additional info.

just saw and read this........nice bow..!!! I know Dan personally, and he is as straight shooter as mikey is.!!!! I read what he said, and he did not accuse anybody of anything, but he only asked....I'm glad to see everything got cleared up! Dan is a super nice guy And a loooong time trad archer. I'm sure he was not trying to disrespect this bowyer. But the physical threats don't belong on these sites. ...let's play nice fellas...it's a sport that we all enjoy......!!!! ..now....back to bows..
Title: Re: Awesome new longbow!
Post by: highlow on February 20, 2015, 05:14:00 PM
Dan probably is a nice guy as you say but no matter how you cut it, posting that comment without doing any research as to who Bamboo is, is nothing but irresponsible and deserved the resultant posts, IMHO.
Title: Re: Awesome new longbow!
Post by: jackdaw on February 21, 2015, 07:42:00 AM
I agree, but I don't believe Dan actually called anybody out?nothing I hate more than to see somebody get slandered ....but I do not believe he did that? He only asked a question..?? to threaten the guy then is ridiculous? dan is a stand up guy, and called the bowyer and left him an apology....if someone is wrong, let them state that and move on. like I said, dan is a great guy I'm sure he meant no malice......telling someone they are wrong is one thing.......physical threats have no business on this site. glad everything straightened out...

I am seeing more and more of the negativity on the bowhunting/archery forums.  If a guy asks a question often they get attacked right off the bat when no ill intent was intended. Maybe cabin fever is getting bad.
