Couldn't say the number of animals that I have killed with a TallTines bow. Mostly a stickflinger, but a few turkey with the recurve. Something over 100, though. Michael is making me another stickflinger. I will be sure to post pics when it is done. My favorite bows, bar none. I have tried a few. As has been mentioned, it is personal preference. Lots of other good bows out there. I don't mind biting the bullet and being one of the earliest to get a bow from Michael. You all will be jealeous, lol.
