New Mohawk= 1st longbow buck
« on: November 03, 2009, 10:50:00 PM »
A big thank-you to Tradgang's Rob DiStefano, for his first hand knowledge of Mohawk's and carbons. Also, thanks to Master Bowyer Vince of Mohawk Bows for such a handsome, smooth longbow. After recieving my Mohawk during deer season and unfamiliar with tunning methods. I was either Hunting or Shooting countless arrows, thinking I had it down, then to miss a big'en last week. I sought the help from Rob and things came together. I then wanted to tag a deer, for the sake of my homestead, chores were piling up and Momma was get'en lonely, I had to tag an animal. So I said a prayer and this guy showed up this morning, picked a spot and the 400 Beaman Ics, 125 Montec, flew true, 50 yard blood trail. Words of advice, if you get a new bow don't let it be during hunting season, and make sure it's a Mohawk.

Nicely done!   :clapper:

Day Dreamer,

Congratulations on the bow and the deer.  And what a testimony to the power of prayer.

What draw weight are you shooting and what about the carbon in the limbs? Inquiring minds what to know!

One bow. One arrow. My ideal.
