Darn Mohawk longbow!
« on: March 06, 2016, 03:21:00 PM »
Let me tell you guys, up until about 2 days ago I hated D bows.  I've tried a bunch over the years and hated every one of them.  I've called them tooth rattlers, bows for old men, and even said I'd shoot a wheel bow before shooting one.  Well about 2 weeks ago I picked up a huge lot of archery gear that included a Mohawk.  Fine I thought, I'll just sell it.  Well I tried selling and trading with no luck so thought I'd finally try to shoot it.  My first thought was honestly, "well that didn't suck!".  So I played with brace height a little and things got better.  Then I slapped a quiver on and better still.  So I started doing a little research and folks said they like heavy arrows so I found a set of Surewood that I thought it would like and I'm really liking this thing!  So much so I just posted an add looking for a two piece.  Darn you Vince, I don't know what your doing out there but keep doing it!  You even gotta an atta boy from the D bow hater himself!

They sure are fine shooters. I don't know how anybody that has ever shot one could say anything bad.

Mohawk's are nice shooting bows,even though they string up to a nice D shape.They are more of a mild R/D bow,D bows to me are Hill style type bows.

Surprised you hadn't sampled the merits of a D- r/d bow until now?  If you like the Mohawk try and snag a Dwyer Original.  You'll be impressed as well.

Oh I've tried several, enough to know I didn't like "those" bows.  Guess I hadn't found the right one.
