bentpole's new black 'hawk is a precursor of a new mohawk offering soon to be released - the mohawk classic.
this design will essentially be a typical mohawk, with trapped limbs and actionboo core and veneers, but under black glass (matte or gloss finish), but other glass colors will probably be offered such as brown and white. the riser will be one piece of the hardwood of your choice, which will also be used for all overlays (modern string fiber approved). the handle grip will be offered as hill-style, dished, or typical slim mohawk locator. as with all mohawks, the braced mild r/d limbs will have the classic "D" shape. with the hill-style handle, it will look just like a hill longbow, but ......
... the mohawk classic will have a significant performance boost over any hill-type longbow, while retaining all the stability, pointability and good shooting characteristics of that olde tyme longbow design we all love.
