Yeah, Vince is still at it...(pics)
« on: May 19, 2011, 09:58:00 AM »
I ordered my Mohawk a few months before Vince stopped taking orders.  I felt real lucky to "get in" so I could have my bow for this season.  

Any how,  after placing my order,  and quite a few phone calls my bow arrived last week.   In my process of figuring out what length Mohawk I wanted, I tried several different lengths, all having slightly different handle shapes as well.  

-Decided on a 62", which is fine at my 28" draw, and very handy in the woods.  

-Riser is some really nice Macassar Ebony, that has been in the Mohawk shop acclimating for a long time.  

-Decided to use Cocobola in the flare,  Vince sent me pics of several different flares and this one looked best.

- Limbs and Core are Yew.  Some real nice Yew too.  

One thing I was really impressed with in ordering this bow, Vince worked with me alot on grip shape, he called me twice to discuss just the grip.  There were also a couple little things I wanted specifically that were done just as I asked.

The bow shoots great,  points very naturally, very quiet, NO shock, vibration, twang, hum, or anything funky like that   ;)

As far as I know Vince is still catching up on orders and such,  but I believe he will be taking orders again soon... and obviously his batterys are recharged.

Yep! Vince did his magic with your bow.

I'd say you've got a awesome piece of eyecandy.

Congratulations!!

Thank you for sharing.

God bless,Mudd

My take on Vince is, he is a top notch person to deal with.  He always does what he says he is going to do.  I like him alot.

My Mohawk should be delivered early next week. You are right about Vince, talked with him many times , he's a good guy.  So are Craig and Jason Ekin and the Widow boys. It's nice to deal with good people.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. TGMM ♥
