Vince sure made me a pretty one....

[GMMAT]

My thanks go out to Vince @ Mohawk for building me one exactly like I wanted.

Might not be everyone's cup of tea....but it's EXACTLY what I wanted in my LB.

64" / 48#'s @ 28"

I'll get some arrows tuned, tomorrow.

that's pretty, what are the limb veneers?

[BowHuntingFool]

Pretty cool Jeff! You've gotta be stoked!

[ron w]

Nice bow ....my weight to. Enjoy!!

[GMMAT]

Bamboo.  

I saw one like this on Vince's webpage.....and had to have one like it.

I'll be really stoked, Joe....when I find the right arrow.  I'll be bareshaft tuning, tomorrow (but I'll find time to get the other Mohawk in the maiL!).

Nice looking bow! I like the wood combos

[Stump Buster]

Wow!!!  I thought your pics would help ease the waiting pains....but mine just got worse!!!

VERY NICE!!!

[paul11]

I like it!

[bentpole]

Beauty!

[JRY309]

Nice looking longbow!

[GMMAT]

What a beautiful little bow.  I'm extremely pleased.  Vince deserves the accolades....as he did send me exactly what I asked for.

I'm having a few issues with my arrow porposing.....but I'm gonna drop back and start with a new string and a bare shaft, tomorrow (I shot it, today, with the string off off the 52#'er I've been shooting (same length mohaw bow).  It's not fish-tailing....just porposing.  I'm sure it'll be fine.

Nice  

[Woodduck]

I've been wanting to shoot one. Heard they are sweet.

[pebowbender]

Woodduck, they are sweet. Jeff was kind enough to let me shoot the "christening" arrow yesturday. Sweet, smooth and puts 'em where you're lookin'.

[broketooth]

beautiful bow ya got there, jeff - as are all the 'hawks that vince lovingly creates.  enjoy and shoot her well!

porpoising is a direct result of nock point placement - start by adjusting it 1/8" higher.

as with any bow, there'll be a nice sweet spot for brace height.  i've had more than a few mohawks and they all seemed to prefer braced at the low end, around 6-1/2" or so.

i've also gone back to 'skinny strings' - using 6 strands of dyneema'02 (dynaflight'97, but with lots less wax), spun up endless style.  this made the bow quieter and gained a few fps in speed without a loss of 'stability'.

fwiw, i'd recommend doing all bow testing with carbon or alum arrows - i love woodies, but there are too many variables between each woodie that may make sussing out yer new bow a tad frustrating.

make sure yer pulling each arrow back solidly to anchor, too - short drawing will really mess up arrow testing!

Glad you like her Jeff, she loved my 65# tapered cedars, the lighter boo is getting very popular. Great advice from Rob. Have fun!

Thanks again
Vince

[GMMAT]

Vince...

If you'd send me the arrow specs on those cedars (including wher eto buy them), I'll look into them.  There's a shoot coming up where I'd have to shoot woodies.....so I might as well set some up for this bow.  If Im gonna do that....I'll just shoot them from this bow, exclusively.

Thans, again.  It's beautiful.
