New TallTines--Long Riser

[Steve O]

All of my TallTines are 60" bows based off the short riser.  Since my number came up on the list again and the one-piece is not ready for production, I decided to try a 60" based on the long riser.

What a smooth drawing dream!  I am going to have to get the chronograph out, but this 52# @ 28" long riser seems to spit them out the same as the 55# @ 28" short riser.  I have always heard a longer working limb is supposed to be more efficient and smoother, but I'm not feeling it here.


Carpathium Elm Burl limbs, Cocobolo riser, and Kudu tips.














The best part of the whole deal is there is a 3 piece longbow in process that is going to match this baby

Steve, are those the limbs that were at KaZoo? Really nice looking. Brian's bows shoot great.

[Lechwe]

Nice bow. I got to shoot this one at K-zoo. I need to shoot the long and short riser next to each other before I can decide.

Hey Steve...looks a little familiar. VERY NICE ! Where does that wood come from ?  

[Steve O]

I am pretty sure I took that block for the riser out to him, but I can't remember for sure.

Couple more pics.  It is amazing how the flash changes things.

That is an awesome bow Steve.

Very nice,veneers and Cocobolo at their best1

Mike, yes, I picked that up at Kzoo.  He had a bunch of pickups there.  My buddy Gary got his longbow and I know Dave Pagel and Bryan Burkhardt and a couple others picked theirs up as well.

Very nice wood combination. The veneers are spectacular.

Love the limbs.

Steve, I saw someone else shooting it there, that's why I was wondering. Thanks again for the book and dvd. Was that your boy with the leg brace? He has a good sense of humor.

pretty bow!!  i got a couple more months to wait for mine.


hey steve, can you take a pic of one of your short risers with the long riser? pleeeease?  

[Tim Fishell]

Looks great Steve!!  I got my Phenolic riser TT on Monday and it shoots awesome.  I really dont notice much of a difference between my 60" and that 58" bow.  Those short limbs do perform really well!!  

[Dave Pagel]

I saw a couple of people shoot that bow well at Kazoo.  Can a bow catch bad habits from its owner?

D.P.

WOW!!!! Those limbs...WOW!

[Carcajou]

Nice bow Steve, I cant even spell " Carpathium"..haha  :D

Yes, lots of people shot my bow over the weekend; I figured no one would drop it and they sure were not going to wear it out.  I hope they enjoyed it as much as I do.

Just shot the long and short side by side and shot after shot on each.  You can feel a difference and to me, the long riser does make everything feel just a hair more "gentle".  It is tough to improve on these TallTines though.

How about this:



Brian keeps asking me if I want the checkering and I can't bring myself to hide any of the gorgeous wood he uses    

And yes Mike, that was my son.  He helps out at the MLA kids area and between that,Robin Conrads, The Brothers of the Bow, and the jerky booth (wheeling and dealing for "bargains"), he stays pretty busy.  His tendon is tearing off the growth plate in his shin, so he has to wear that leg immobilizer for 4 weeks then should be good as new.
