Just ordered my first custom bow.
« on: February 10, 2011, 03:39:00 PM »
After a lot of research on this site I decided to go ahead and order a Mohawk! I looked at a lot of different bows and for the money it seems like you just can't find a better deal. I ordered a 62" 1 piece Longbow model, 52# @ 28" with the locator handle. I went with Red Elm limbs & veneers with a cocobolo handle.

Man I can't wait to get it!

I love red elm veneers. Depending on the cut you ordered they make great natural camo with the broad grain patterns.

Vince makes at great bow at a very reasonable price.  Besides that, you won't meet a nicer guy.  I got one a while back on a trade here on TG and contacted him for info.  He was very helpful with all my questions.  I'm sure you will enjoy your new bow!!!!!

I'm green with envy or maybe that should be I'm red elm with envy. Congratulations maybe I'll get to shoot one like someday.

Just spent last Friday thru Sunday shooting Rob DiStefano's Mohawk.

Likely the most enjoyable pure shooting experience that I can recall.

That is a good wood combination.  Cocobolo will give it some stability too....
