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  here is a video  of me shooting it!

Oh yeah! back up top.    Got a new Northern Mist Superior coming. 66" 47@ 28.    this bow has ash cores, thats new to me but i trust Mr. Steve!

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.

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.

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
