I hope this doesn't come off like a sales pitch for Tall Tines as that's not my intention.  Every bowhunter eventually/hopefully finds that special bow and there are a lot of good ones to be had.  I'm just excited about finding one that fits ME extremely well and wanted to share the good news.  That's what we do on TG, don't we? HA!  

I probably have too may bows as is (Just ask my wife), most are well-built, and some down-right fascinating to just prop up and look at, however only a few seem to really fit me or are what I would call great shooters. My new Tall Tine recurve falls into the latter category and is actually now at the top of the list.  

Hands down, it's been the easiest and fastest bow to setup ever (FOR ME). It's forgiving, very stable in the hand, quiet, and shoots where I look.  I just have to remember to look at the right spot:^)

In the beginning I was a bit disappointed. When I initially strung the bow and launched my first arrow it sounded off with a loud TWANG. OUCH! A few twists of the string later, plus the addition of only 2 small Catwhiskers, and the bow was shooting quieter that any of my other recurves . . . and launching my 580 grain arrows with authority. Can't get over the grip either, no searching for that sweet spot; my hand just goes "there" every single time.

Before yesterday I had only shot the bow in my basement, but the weather finally warmed up allowing some extended outdoor testing. This not only confirmed what I had experienced shooting indoors, but enhanced things when I saw the arrows in flight over longer distances.  Nothing but a tight circular rotation of three fletchings from bow to target, and with the lowest "thump" on release. Oh, did I mention the the bow is also easy on the eyes? How lucky can you get.

Wow, that is a sweet looking beauty! Congrats on finding a great bow to fit you.      

Sweet lookin too!!

Easy to look at alright!

That is a very nice looking bow, a work of art..

smokin hot looking bow!


cocobolo riser?
what limb veneer is that?

Joe, the riser is Brazilian Rosewood.  Veneers are eastern Red Cedar and the light colored accents are Myrtle.  The inlay on the grip is a piece of antler taken from the last buck my Father took wih a bow.  I cut a section from the antler, shaped it, and sent it to Brian Wessel to be inlaid.

Gary, I feel the same way.  Congrats on a great bow and welcome to the TT club.  I have a feelin those turkeys in your neck of the woods don't stand a chance.

Very tastefully coordinated. I hope it serves you well.

Great looking bow and congrats on finding your "special" bow.

Is that a bone shaped arrowhead in the grip?That is really eye catching.

That is a real beaut!

Goodun!

gary,

very nice idea with the antler inlay from your dad's deer....very special.


those veneers look fantastic with the sapwood knots.


just an awesome looking custom recurve !

Very good looking bow indeed,mabe someday I will have the opertunity to shoot a tall tines.

Very nice looking bow, the inlay is a nice touch.

Gary, I hope that someday you figure out how to take a good picture of a bow, I think it would really set that one off.  Just kidding, I don't know if I like the bow or the pictures better.

What a beauty.  The light knots in the limb veneers add a lot character.

I also like the story of the antler overlay and your Dad.  What a nice memory to have with you when you go hunting.

Nice rig, congratulations on finding "the one."

Very nice. One gorgeous recurve. Thanks for posting.
