since i initiated the sparrowhawk design and worked with vince on its prototype years ago, and also named it, i think i might be able to answer yer questions.    ;)  

while i loved the mohawk and it did everything i wanted in a mild r/d hybrid longbow that braced to a classic "D" shape, i kept thinking about a version of the mohawk that was closer to an AFL (american flat longbow, or in essence a hill style longbow).  

what i wanted were narrow and thicker limbs, and that's what the sparrowhawk is all about.  with its mild r/d, added 5th core lamination and deeper limb cross section, the s'hawk is a tad smoother, a bit more stable, and points easier for me.  that's about it!  ENJOY!    :D

I have 4 Mohawks. 3 of them are 64" longbow models and the other is a 66" Sparrowhawk. I really can't attest to any big difference in shooting them. I must say they are my favorites as they are such a smooth sweet bow

Rob covered it...I was actually lucky enough to buy the Sparrowhawk he shot as a prototype and wrote his initial review while I was waiting on a Robertson Primal Styk.  I love the Robertson but wish I kept that Mohawk Sparrowhawk as it was a sweet shooting bow.  I may get another just because it was such a sweet bow.

Light in hand, quiet, shot heavy arrows with authority...just a pleasure to shoot and own.
Keep em sharp,
