Yep, they're superb longbows indeed.  Another 1pc being built for me as I type.  And later this year, another TD to order out.  To each their own.    :saywhat:       :D

Any chance you can take a closer pic of the bamboo on the limbs. They look great.  Gotta love them Mohawks!!

Thanks.

frasseter my 'Hawk  is 46#s at my 27" draw. I shoot 35/55 Gold Tips cut to 27 3/4's with 250 grains up front. I just had a dozen tapered cedars made up 50/55#s cut to 28"s with 125 grains up front. I thought I would never shoot any thing but carbons from now on but this bow loves those cedars! All my arrows by the way have 4 -4" feathers on them. Longbows really shoot a four fletch arrow great. Hey yeh DEAN more pictures of that riser too!

Man, those slim contoured handles are a dream to hold and shoot.  They're worth the price of admission alone.  :)

I shoot a Northwind Gem longbow, looks like a very similar profile. Thats what I like, will have to give serious though as to getting a Mohawk.  Mike

Do a subject search for Mohawk.  Ain't no one yet has complained about Mohawks.  Ultimately yer gonna need to decide for yerself either by shootin' one or takin' a leap o' faith.  In any event, ring up Vince, he may be able to help ya make a decision.

Trust me,, they "SHOOT" as good as they look, and feel GREAT !! Vince Migliorato is one heck-uv-a Bowyer, Like I've said many o time,, You can pay ALOT more,, but you AINT gettin more, AWESOME Mild R/D Longbows !!! And no,, I aint gettin paid for this......

I looked at his website and the throat of his bows seem pretty thin. I have fairly good sized hands. Are those pictures foolin' me, or does the grip take some time to get the feel of it?

These are custom longbows - call or email Vince and let him know what ya require.

Thanks very much for the positve feedback, means a lot! Shawn you should see yours the end of the week. Adam, nicely said....the checks in the mail!  :thumbsup:

The quietest bow I have never heard.  Plenty fast and shock free.
Irish Archer,  I have some very big hands and love the small grip on these longbows.  I am sure Vince could make you a bigger grip if needed, but you might be suprised how well a small grip works imho.

I think it would be hard to find a better d-shaped longbow.  And even harder to find a better guy than Vince.  He is right there at the top of the heap!

Does anyone know what is the recommended Brace Height on these?
Title: Re: MOHAWK BOWS(WOW)
Post by: Molson on August 19, 2008, 11:49:00 PM
Recommended brace is 6 1/2 to 6 3/4.  Vince told me you could take it down to about 6 1/4 if you like to get a little more speed but you'll get a little more noise too.  Mine settled in a touch below 6 1/2.

Nock an arrow on the string, pull the string back a bit, let go of the string.  :D  

OK, seriously now ... that's a very subjective question and my answer is easy - it's the best shootin' mild r/d longbow I've ever had the pleasure to pull string on.  How's that?  :D
