New Tomahawk for Elk hunt
« on: October 15, 2009, 10:02:00 PM »
I have always like Tomahawk longbows. After winning the elk hunt that "Elkherder" offered I started getting ready. Started getting in shape, and getting the bow& arrow set-up I will shoot all year till Elk season. Here's a few pictures.

Specs are 64" Diamond SS Stained bamboo back and yew belly. 55# @28" I draw 29" it really spits out the 630gr arrows I made up for the hunt.

Looks like that should do the deed nicely!!!!

That is a sweet looking bow! Looks like the elk might get chopped with a Tomahawk.   :biglaugh:

If the time in between elk seasons goes for you as it does me every year it will seem like an eternity  :banghead:  
Good luck on your hunt and that is one purdy elk killer.
Soak it all up, I live for the last two weeks of september

Tomahawks are sweet. Hoping for the weather to get better, so I can go out and shoot!   :pray:

Great looking bow!

These days, time goes by so fast, that maybe you better slow it down so you can have the anticipation longer.

When it does get here, I wish you all the best!
