Let me say threw Trad Gang I became friends with Vince and actually met him once.I have owned at least 6 Mohawks and only 1 PL. That being said let me tell you a true story. After owning 3 or 4 Mohawks, I decided to sell them to get a Widow PLV that I always wanted. I figured I was getting up in age, been working like a dog 6 days a week I was do. It was to be my Holy Grail of bows.Well I received my PLV. I told Vince. He basically said you'll be back. Time passed. I get a call from Vince he says Hey Pollack there's a Mohawk in the classifieds for sale. If you don't buy it I'll buy the darn thing back! I think it was a 62"'er around 50#'s @ my 27" draw. All Tonkin Cane limbs [the best IMHO] with a cocoabolla riser or might have been 2 tone cocoabolla/ bacote I believe. Well I bought it. Needless to say the next season I carried that Mohawk into the deer woods while the PLV hung in the garage. I sold the PLV shortly after. After that I always had 3 Mohawks. A TD and a Sparrowhawk besides the 62"'er. You will have a hard time to find a finer person/bowyer than Vince. Now as far as the PL they are fantastic bows too. I just felt more comfortable with the Mohawk. They just fit me like a glove. I was lucky to have the same hand dimensions as Vince if it felt good to him it was perfect for me. The Widow is bow perfection quality wise. You can't get any closer to perfect as far as workmanship. Everyone is different though. I would consider a try before you buy PL. The Folks at Black Widow are first class too. You and I just missed a fine deal of a beautiful Sparrowhawk in the classifieds.Beautiful bow! I would see if I could buy a used Mohawk. Shoot it and decide for yourself. Mohawks are working man friendly too as far as price.
