TRAP

it's an addiction called TTA or Tall Tines Addiction

   

60" 51#@28"
60" 57#@28"
62" 55#@28"
and I'm on the list for another

I just like everything about them.  The way they shoot, the wood combinations.  They fit my hand like a glove. I can run a huge selection of arrows through them and they seem to all shoot great.  They are fast, quiet, consistent, stable and easy. I shoot them off the shelf or with elevated rests. It doesnt seem to matter.

My hats are off to you Brian.  These bows are the real deal.

If you're looking for a new recurve, do yourself a favor and give them a try, but be careful, you may become addicted.

Is there a support group out there? Anybody else with the same affliction? I suspect there's a few.  You know who you are.

You are a sick man and the only cure will be 3 more of them.

I know I know, I got it bad.  I'm hoping the custom TT I have ordered will cure me.

Trap, you are still a little light in the TT stable, but at least I know who I have to keep ahead of    :D

My name finally came up to the top of the list again and my first 62" is started.  There is a 64" coming up sometime in the future too.  The 62" is going to be very, very special.

I could not agree with your assessment of the TallTines any more; they are the whole package!

I have heard there is some 10 step program.  I think that means I need one TT for each step???

TRAP

Now there's a "recovery" plan I could "buy" into.

I think my next one is going to be pretty special as well. Can't wait to see yours and the many others that come along. Oh no, I wonder if I should get in line for another?  :eek:  

I'm going to haul a couple to the UBM Festival tomorrow and let some friends shoot them and anyone else that wants to look me up for that matter.

TTA......I love it! And my wife thinks I'm nuts   :goldtooth:

For sure I can see it being an addiction after shooting mine everyday even with the weather being 14 degrees outside   :archer2:

Guys, I bought all 3 bows from fellow Tradgang members and  I'm not sure about the wood types. Here's a few more views with the bows in the same order.

Maybe previous owners will recognize them and chime in or maybe some of you know what types of wood are in them.


Risers


Limb veneers

I am pretty sure that top one is Zircote.  I have a guess on the other two but the limb veneers I am sure from left to right are Bocote, Myrtle, and Carpatian Elm Burl as I have all those in TTs myself    ;)

TRAP

Thanks Steve, I was told the top riser was Brazilian Rosewood but it's not like the Brazilian Rosewood I'm familiar with in Vintage Bear and Howatt bows.  

My guess wood be Bubinga in the middle riser and a combo of Bubinga and Bocote in the bottom riser.  

Thanks for the limb info, I'm sure you're right.

I had them at the  United Bowhunters of Missouri's Annual  Festival today and everyone that shot them loved them and they sure turned heads when they walked through the room.

The limbs I am sure of, the risers, not so sure!  Whatever they are, the ARE sweet.  I am finally getting a wave riser on the next one.  Can't wait!
