Base model Tall Tines takedown arrived

[varmint101]

I've been trying via email too since the same time frame.  I've been wanting to get a set of antler knobs from him for my TT.  I'll have to call too.

Man that's a nice picture Steve O!

It's not so much that I dont like the fancy woods as much. I just really like the black and brown combination. The base model covers that for me and seems like a natural camoflage.

Wow that bow of William's is a beauty.

[Steve O]

Wish I could take credit for that photo.  My friend Chad goes around Kzoo every year with his big fancy camera...he takes GREAT photos.

Flint,

I found you a picture of the Camo limb TT.  It is the first bow in this shot.  Best I have for now.

 

I'll take the second one from the right Steve.    

Just got an email from Brian. He's just been a little swamped lately.

So Steve is there any difference in performance from the basic model to the upper end models. I know you have several to compare...thanks

[Froggy]

The woods on the camo bow in Steves pics are actually a good bit darker than the pic shows. I will see if I can get some up....

[Steve O]

   Froggy, I was going to ask you to post those pics for all of us to enjoy!  Thanks.


Leatherneck!  That bow is a Myrtle riser.  I know Brian has some  incredible  Myrtle in the shop right now and is going to have at least two of them At Kalamazoo.  That is not too far of a trek...I had a lease near Jackson, OH a few years ago    

And no, I have not found any performance difference between the standard or the exotics.  All my bow are 60" (for now     ) and the one long riser TT  I do have feels just a touch smoother, but they are all very, very close.

Some of the nicest looking bows I have seen sitting in the TT shop or on the show table have been base bows or especially base bows with snake skins added.  I just can't bring myself to order one when Brian's exotic up charge is as low as it is.  The quality of his exotic riser and veneer wood is many grades above the prices he charges IMO.

Thanks for you input Steve, very helpful. I need to give Brian a call in the near future.

Steve O...makes me laugh, I can just see you getting so excited, punching that keyboard,  talking about these TT bows.
There just might be a left hand cocobolo/osage at K'zoo in a few weeks...just don't take it home for Daniel eh?

[Steve O]

Bob, it will be good to see you      

I found Chad's photo of the other side of that Camo limb bow:

 
 


And one of those "base" bows with skins added:

Here's my 2 cents!

Was lucky enough to have the TT crew up for bears this past spring and got to shoot all the bows. Which bow could I not put down.....Steve O's base model!! Loved it so much I ordered base model black glass limbs for mine. Best base model bow going...by far!

[Steve O]

Yes Ryan, that Camo bow will probably be my last worldly possession.  Wait till you see the checkering on the longbow...

Anyway, Lanier was having trouble with his PhotoBucket account so asked me to post the pics of the Camo limbs:







Base riser for them:

[Lin Rhea]

See, I told ya. Black and brown    . And the antler burr just sets it off. That is gorgeous.

[Froggy]

Thanks for throwing them up Steve  

[Steve O]

Any time.  I don't help with just TT pics...there are all kinds of things here; polar bear hunts, javelina and hogs, elk hunts, bow and arrow build alongside and refinishing.  It is not the easiest thing to do (post pics) so I try to help where I can.  

Pictures make the threads come alive!

You guys are making my wife nervous. I am wanting to call Brian and place an order and do not have the funds and this is coming from a diehard Hill longbow shooter. Very nice.

[Steve O]

Flint,

He's got a GREAT 3pc longbow...











I am hearing rumors emanating from SE Iowa of one and two piece longbows as well...

[GRINCH]

Those are some beauties.

When I ordered my TT I opted for the base model as well. Not sure why, except I figured I would be less likely to be worried about scratching it or something. Thus I would more likey take it to the woods. It may be a base model, but it sure is pretty. I got the charcoal actionwood riser with a Walnut stripe and black glass limbs.
 

That bow just looks "Right" to me. I agree it is pretty.

[leatherneck]

Anybody know if the recurve limbs will go on the lb riser? It doesn't appear like they would but thought I'd ask.
