Got me a Mahaska
« on: September 07, 2012, 12:38:00 AM »
Just purchased the new crown jewel of my small collection...a 59# Mahaska custom recurve, cocobolo riser, cedar limbs.  Purchased second hand at about half of what they go for new, I got lucky.  Supposed to be in excellent condition, will post pics when I get it, from the pics I saw it sure looks purdy. From what I gather supposed to be a pretty darn good bow.  Anyone else on here shoot one of these bows?

Ken at mahaska is a great guy, his prices are wonderful, and they are shooters.

Nineworlds, I'm not left handed and almost bought that bow!!! To say you got a steal is an understatement. You will love it.  But I thought it was a The Longbow , not a recurve.

Awesome to hear guys, it has not arrived yet, but pics will definitely be posted.  I'm excited.  I have around a 30 inch draw and if this Mahaska is as sweet as I'm hoping it will be, my Super Grizzly (58"/50#) will be history.

My draw lenght on a traditional is less than 30 I just realized, it's more like 27-28 on a non-wheelie, so the new Mahaska should do me right.

I have a Mahaska LB and love it. Just got back from a 3D shot with it. Had a blast and didn't shoot to bad either.

Awesome, this is making me feel very good about the purchase so far.  Can't wait to let some fly when it arrives.
