riser design doesn't matter, it's all about the braced limbs shape! :D

Hoping to add some pics in a couple of weeks, just got the call from JD Berry he is starting my Taipan

Just got this 66" Mohawk Sparrowhawk and I love it! I had a Hill bow before, but I was looking for something a little smoother. This bow is amazing. It's 54#@28" with no markings, because the previous owner refinished it. He also put canebrake skins and a beavertail grip on it. I think it looks awesome, and it shoots great! Looking forward to killing with it this fall.

Photos below, and of me shooting it!

Here is my Liberty Elite Contender 55@28 64” . It is a beautiful bow with elegant mrytle limbs. I bought it from Chase. It originally was heavier but I had Chase send it back to Allen and he reduced it to 55 for me.

I am thinking about using it for moose if drawn this year. I have a couple of bows in that weight, currently it is one of my two heaviest bows.

Fred, good looking Baraga! they are really nice bows

Thanks Craig. What a great shooting bow. I can’t believe I waited so long to try one. I definitely see one of Steve’s reverse handle bows in my not so distant future.

I had always been a recurve or hybrid guy, but recently bought a 64” 63@27” Robertson Primal Styk and have been very impressed. It is such a pointable and forgiving bow. It has really turned me on to this style bow, and certainly have the big for them now.

Here it is next to my 62” Tall Tines with Tundra limbs

I am a diehard Hill style fan, but I am no stranger to the r/d world. I have owned 4 (and still have 3) Quillian Bamboo Longhunters. I think this is a highly underappreciated bow. Also, I have a Deathwish by Steve Welty, another good bow that you don't hear much about. I don't shoot the r/d bows all that much, but they certainly will not go up for sale any time soon.

Gary,

Good to see that bow! It is a pretty one, without question. Love to hear it may join you on a moose hunt. To hunt moose one day is a goal of mine.

Take care, Chase
