New TallTines for Turkeys...
« on: March 27, 2010, 03:15:00 PM »
Sometimes I am pretty smart    :goldtooth:  

The first time I shot Brian Wessel's personal bow, I told him if he ever started selling them, I wanted the first one...that actually turned into the first two, a RH for me and a LH twin for my buddy Chimaster.

When we took delivery of the first set of twins, as soon as we shot them, we got on the list for another set of twins.  My smart move was giving Brian a deposit for not only those two, but three more for me...I wanted a beater, and a one piece recurve and 3pc longbow when he got them into production.

Here's the "beater"    :D  

 

I asked Brian to make one as "frilless" as he could.  He came up with no overlays, DymondWood riser, and black glass limbs with phenolic wedges and tips.  I plan on getting it camo dipped and this bow will become my workhorse.  I won't feel bad when it gets beat up in the mountains.

Depending on the timing of my dipper of choice, it may be before or after turkey season when I get the final finish on it.  Until then, it will blend in just perfect inside the Double Bull    ;)

Great bow Steve. I'm looking forward to seeing Brian's 3 piece longbow. I've already cleared out a spot for it...  :D

You know, after shooting this baby all day and admiring the craftsmanship, I am having second thoughts about covering it up.  

Take a look at the detail...


 


 

 


I don't know if I will ever get over how nice these TallTines feel and shoot.  I am impressed with every arrow   :thumbsup:

Nice lookin' bow Steve!

So are you shootin' an elevated rest with Blazers and FMJ 400s out of this bow?

Enjoy!

Very nice Steve, like you I can't wait to check out that one piece recurve. I"m going to get on that list.
Not too bad of a beater bow, good luck with the turkeys.
My buddy got his TT yesterday, and WOW what a beauty, smooooth, fast, and very quiet. Mr TT has it going on!

Dave,

340s

Yes this bow will be set up with an elevated rest and will shoot broadheads equally well with Blazers, QuikSpins, or feathers.  I plan to spend a couple of very wet weeks in Alaska this fall and want to be prepared   ;)  

Just to show I am not  against the shelf, here is my last TT...

Thank you for the feedback Steve!

Do you like the quikspins equally as well as the blazers?

Sounds like a great trip in the works for 2010 - what tags will you be carryin'?

Dave,

I actually believe the QS work a little better than the Blazers, but they are a bit less durable.

This bow is going to be flown into a little lake on Prince of Wales to see if it can't help me cut down the black bear and blacktail population just a little bit.

That bow has me intrigued Steve O. Out west here we don't get to put our hands on them but I take your word for it.

This bow looks like the prodigy offspring of a Schaeffer for a daddy and a Wapiti for a mommy.  Very interesting.

I'm contacting him tomorrow.

Vey nice, Steve!  I have a "plain Jane" Adcock longbow that I got from Tippit.  To dress it up, I put a set of diamondback limb skins on the limbs.  Now it looks as good as the bows with the real snake skins and has natural camo to boot!
