I've had a couple, can't really compare to other "D" bows, but Vince's Mohawk is a Very Fine bow, I'd go with his Cocobolo Handle & Dirty Boo Limbs, Very Quiet, Real Smooth & quick for this style of L/B, Vince is "TOPS" by the way ....

I agree with Adam they are fine bows. Compared to some of the other "D" shaped bows I've had my Mohawk is faster, smoother and with less handshock. i got the two piece, can't beat it for the price. Mine also has the cocobolo riser and dirty boo limbs. A very well made bow.

cocobolo and and dirty boo are really popular huh..vince kept bringing it up, but I'm a suck for the camo lookin actionwood, might have cocobolo in the riser as a flare though, ether that or ebony... and action boo with action action wood veneers....what do you guys think?
and Ron I can decide between the 1 or 2 piece!!
its so hard trying to decide how you want you first custom bow

Christian, If you ever plan on traveling by air [to Alaska] with your bow? Buy the 2 pc. as now Alaska Airlines limits you to one pc of checked luggage. You can put it and your arrow case in a duffle or suit case. I understand extra bags are costing $50 each now. Hope this helps in your decision.

Mohawks Bows!!?? I've owned and shot alot of bows.I have a 64"er 46#s that I shoot tapered cedars out of. They fly like darts out of this bow. Cocoabolla riser with 2 white stripes 4 tonkin cane lams.The workmanship is outstanding. Vince recently mailed me an "experimental" 2 piece. His first with amberactionboo cores and beautiful red elm veneers. Two tone bocote/cocoabolla riser. I told him this bow is even prettier than mine. The handle has a little more meat than mine, being a 2 piece.It really balances nice in your hand.I wasn't crazy about the connection hinge but Vince puts top secret materials in the riser. It's bazooka proof. Man does this bow hit hard. It's a 62"er and 52#s @ 28"s[49#s for me @ 27"s].Vince wants me to hunt with it and wack something with it.I can't understand why he's running about 6 weeks on orders. As cheap as his prices are he should have a year backup.It has to be a labor of love. If you figure it out the guys making about 10 bucks an hour. He will definately have to raise his prices soon. As far as dealing with Vince as a bowyer,he is # One. He'll bend over backwards to meet your demands. I'm proud to call him a Bud.

Looks like I'll be ordering a two piece in the future too. I'm really impressed with the one I have. I want to try a 66"er and a little 60" too some day.Easy to draw, hits where you look, quiet [even without silencers], and no hand shock at all. I'll have to post some pictures and start a thread soon.

Had 2 Mohawks and they are classic looking bows.Shoot excellant in every way.
Personally I would go with exotic woods in the riser for that bow.Mine had Coco bolo and the other had a split riser with Coco bolo and Bacote I believe.Actionwood camo on that bow would detract from its elegance and naturalness IMO.
All tonkin boo limbs or tonkin boo core with red elm or some other wood for the outer 2 layers would be nice and provide a natural camoflaged effect if thats what you looking for.Just my opinion for a classic and elagant looking bow.I will get another one someday myself when the budget allows.
good luck with it!

I have two - a one piece with all yew limbs and another that is a two piece with bamboo inner lams and back and belly of yew (you can see the bow on Vince's site - Yew and Boo!). I have a Morrison, Fox, Horne as well as several others hanging on the wall while I shoot the Mohawk. Rick

Rick, I really like the looks of your Yew and Boo Bow. I feel the same as you by the way. I shoot the Mohawks the others are hanging.
