Nics Bow, perfect weight & Length!
yes, i wanted to go longer and about 10# lighter, a bow to shoot as my age and ailments increase, and physique and strength decreases. the longer part is because i really prefer spot 'n' stalk hunting.
i tested out this new 'hawk at only about 8 yards indoors, and it spit out the 665 grain carbons with solid authority. need to see how bad the trajectory is at 20 yards and adjust accordingly. i think 45# would be just fine for deer, but i'm now just crazy silly about hog hunting and need the arrow weight to get the job done, so i'm dubious about such a light energy bow.
one thing i find just amazing - every mohawk i've ever shot or owned (and that's a good double digit number), no matter their length or holding weight, have that so-good "signature vince" feeling about them when held and when shot. i can pick up, brace, load and shoot any mohawk and it'll feel like i've "come home" to my own mohawks. i just dunno how vince can clone each bow so perfectly. what craftsmanship!
