[Lamey]

David,  I know Vince@ Mohawk makes 68" regularly,  im betting with a conversation he would make a 70".

[David Yukon]

Thanks... Not that I'm really in the market...

Just got my 4th Mohawk.I have had the 62"64",66" and now a 68 inch Classic.This one looks to have 4 lams of all real bamboo instead of Action-boo.Judging from the creamy butter color.Black glass belly and back.Used to Rob DiStefanos bow.Its 43 #[email protected] draw it 30".This is the one I have been looking for it seems.The fit is perfect for me!Its nice to have such a sweet shooting D shaped bow on the rack again let me tell you.

This babies nice and the best shooting Mohawk yet for me.It would be hard to beat.I would like to try that Sparrowhawk now   .

Here's two that I made. I take terrible pics but they are R/D "D" shape. I'll go through my pictures to see if I have any from this form that show the relaxed profile and strung "D" shape better.

My other forms are more radical and a stringfollow model.

   

   

Different bow...same form:

 


OK...finally, this one shows the classic "D" a little better,


 

[Hatrick]

Well, I did finally find a picture of the bow form: Love the R/D...Classic "D".

i shot one this summer and i want it bad. such a nice shootng bow.  would love to get a mohawk someday

[Peckerwood]

I do not have a lot of experience with D shaped bows . Most I have shot did not agree with me. That being said, I have 2 that I would consider great shooters .  One is a PAW Somerset with carbon limbs and the other is a Fox Triple Crown with carbon limbs.
The Fox is the only bow I have ever shot that has NO vibration after the shot.

Just Recently acquired this Abbott from Ron. This R/D puts em right where your looking.

Steve Abbott makes a hell of a bow!  Personally I am a huge fan of Yew, especially close grain Yew.  Steve harvests and seasons his own.  His bows are fantastic and he could charge a lot more, but does not.  If you are a fan of a clasic D shape mild R/D bow, you owe it to yourself to take a look at his bows. Red Tailed Hawk,nice looking bow!!

I love them as well...here is the latest D I made

 

 

 

[Bob B.]

bjansen,

You made that?!  Man that is a sexy looking bow!  What are the specs - how long, poundage, materials etc?  Great looking bow!!    

Bob.

[David Yukon]

Bob, does Abbott bows have a web site???

[Wannabe1]

David, sent you a PM.

My JD Berry Renaissance.  Slightly more aggressive d/r than a "mild" but I think it still has a nice D shape.  The limb tips do add to the visual appearance of more reflex at limb end, but the limb itself is fairly well D shaped.

Very smooth shooting bows with a little more zip than a true Hill style flat bow.

I have 3 {no pics}, A kohannah Windtalker, a Hill Half Breed, and a Toelke Super"D". I just have a soft spot for these types of bow. They are light in the hand like a good fly rod,almost silent upon release and just fun to shoot. All are 40-45# and really like my cedars!
