Well, just talked with Vince today and put in my order.  You guys have got to quit ordering so many of his bows as he is out to about a 16 week wait time now               Vince is very helpful and seems to be an allaround great guy as well!

Joe

Joe Subler - Congrats!

Hey "Vinnie" didn't I tell ya, You'd be Real Busy !!!! Take Care Buddy !!

I guess it's a good thing that I have my Mohawks already huh?

I never did have a great deal of patience....lol

I think I'll go fling some arrows.

God bless,Mudd

roy, you always say the right thing.  

for those not wanting to wait,  dont forgot that  www.rmsgear.com   usually has a few Mohawks in stock.  They are a sponsor here, and VERY good folks.

Friend - thanks for the congrats!

Mudd, how many Mohawks do you have?

BTW Mudd - may God bless you as well,
Joe

I have two, a 62" longbow 52@28, and a 68" Mohawk classic 46@28.

Both bows are sweet shooters.

God bless,Mudd

Request Mohawk model/woods ID, please?

Mohawk longbow with what looks like bamboo cores and veneers, the riser looks like cocobolo. If you send Vince at Mohawk an email with the serial number he can probably look it up and tell you exactly what the woods are.

I'm with John Whitaker on this. I believe he nailed the woods on that bow.

no question the riser and overlays are cocobolo, and the limb veneers are bamboo/cane under clear glass.  no one but the bowyer can tell you what the limb cores are as they're hidden.  but, they're more than likely bamboo/cane.

The flair is macassar ebony, the rest of the riser is cocobolo. Limbs are all bamboo.

Per the original discussion, my Mohawk performed this well on at least a couple of critters.

Hi,

...I know they are not a heavy r/d hybrid longbow. But how much.....if you will....slower are they to a fast hydrid?  

Have you experienced a big difference?...  

As has been suggested/proven, they are very nice performing bows. Agaisnt my Ossabaw HP r/d longbow by Marty Thompson, they are noticbly slower for smae weights- but what does that mean?

The Ossabaw is a very fast bow against any design. At my draw and wt- 60lbs @ 30" it really thumps a target.

I liked the Mohawks I have shot and owned. I like the Ossabaw better. I like it better becasue its the "kind" of bow I want more than the Mohawk. That is a preference based choice and in no way reflects poorly on Vinces bow.

I would not hesitate to own a Mohawk again.  I hate to add to the reputation -I think Rob is on retainer for Mohawk!!! ;0) but they have earned it.

If you like hot rods go with a smooth r/d hybred... they are out there.

I bought a Mohawk a few months ago and it is only the second longbow I have ever shot. I couldn't get over how beautiful and "danty" it is...until I loosed an arrow. I am a recurve shooter and the Mohawk was so much lighter, smoother, and way quieter.

It wasn't quite as fast as my recurve (but 8# lighter) but definitely fast enough. I don't think I will ever sell this bow, but I think my dad might get a pretty sweet bow for christmas  

Also, drew smooth as butter out to my 31" draw. 64" and 48# @ 28. No stacking what so ever.

Hi  I've got a 55# 62" bow that is quiet, and smooth and a killer.  THis year I shot 3 arrows and put an elk, mule deer and whitetail in the freezer. The whitetail was standing with 4 other deer at under 20 yards and none of those ran off at the sound of the bow.

I've got one 'Hawk so far - light draw weight for shoulder rehab - but I am savin' my $$$ for the new deep core Sparrahawk in a huntin' weight.  That has got to be one outstandin' bow and accordin' to Pat from TX - it is *beyond* outstandin'....

I draw a hair over 29" with my 66" 'Hawk and it is smooth, consistent, and QUIET.  Vince makes a quality product.

Keep the wind in your face!

Shoot straight, Shinken

 

I just picked up my second Mohawk from Erik,66",55#@28',The nicest and smoothest longbow I think I've ever owned .the grip is real small and fits like a glove.It loves my 620 gr. compressed cedars.My first Hawk I believe is in Robs stall now a 66" takedown.Beautiful Bows.

Hey Steve, glad your liking that 'Hawk.  I'm getting along with that Hill pretty good but my two Mohawks are still the bows I go to the woods with.

For me the best shooting bow I've had.

Eric
