I wanted to say a public thank you to "Bisket" Mark Mingerink.
I posted a want add earlier in the week for a Tall Tines Longbow. Within an hour I got a response from him, offering a TT Longbow with perfect specs. He sent it and I began shooting it right away.
Man, I love longbows and most of them require some TLC and a lot of prayer and patience to shoot well.. This bow was different from the 2nd shot.. I changed the rest to a material that I like on all my bows.. A rug rest... From that point on.. . Oh.. Baby!!!!
The TT L/B is the Tundra Model "D" Shaped Limbs.
I heard they were good, and I just wanted to try. I honestly figured with the "D" shaped limbs it would be a dog...
WOW!!! I'm totally impressed with this bow...
It shoots as flat as any bow I've ever had. And it looks amazing with those D shaped limbs.. The grip is great for a low wrist style shooting and has good mass weight..
It spines really easy and is the most forgiving long bow I do believe I've ever handled..
Quite is an understatement on this model.. The D limbs are the quietest bows made imo. and this is just unreal... has some two tracks wool silencers on a SBD string.
I don't get handshock from it and I'm completely impressed with it in every way. Brain at Tall Tines really hit a home run with this one.
I am gonna be getting another one from him, but am in a decision cramp as to get either the D limbs again or the new R/D limb design... Will prob get both sets...
But honestly, if you are a 3 pc. longbow guy...
These are tops in my books...
I know all bows shooting a decent weight arrow have a pretty good drop off after 20-25 yards.. I don't notice hitting low until around 35 with this bow.. I'm shooting a 475 gr. arrow too.. Only pulling 47 lbs.
Thanks for listening to this really excited shooter....here are some pics:

I love my Stickflinger.
Fits like a glove and shoots like a dream.
Congrats sir!
My friend got one at the same time as myself. He got both the tundra 62" and 60" stickflinger limbs.
The tundra is 3# heavier and they shoot virtually the same speed.
They both shoot great, no hand shock and equally quite. The only difference I see is that rubber band feel that you get out of a classic D shape.
I love the looks of those TT longbows!
Congrats on the new stick!
Excellent bows, love the detail he puts into each one.
I thoroughly enjoy both of my Tall Tines longbows (one of each, the "D" shape and Hybrid). You did good with that one Steve.
Pastor Hill, Beautiful bow, enjoy! :thumbsup:
Thnx D.. Hope you are well!!!
Thanks for the write up. I do believe I would enjoy one of those. Hill bug got me again though recently, LoL.
Thanks, You as well Pastor! Denny
