Bearpaw Mohawk Review

Chris Unger, Bearpaw's head bowyer in Germany set out to design a bow with the perfect grip. The result was the Mohawk, 60 to 62 inch, take-down, Recurve. The bow comes in different lengths depending on the size and strength of the detachable limbs, and is a perfect beginner bow to anyone new to the sport of Traditional Archery

Being a 3 piece take-down has it's obvious advantages, like being easy to cart around with you, but it also gives you an advantage if you are just starting out in the sport of Instinctive archery.

Most new archers will buy a bow that is too heavy for their skill level, just so they can brag about shooting a really heavy bow. With the affordable, Mohawk, newbies can purchase the correct limb strength for their skill level and know that when they are ready for more power, all they need to do, is change the limbs. Bearpaw even has longbow limbs that will fit the Mohawk riser.

The Mohawk riser is made from layered walnut, mycarta and then walnut again. The limbs are bamboo and Bearpaw power glass, with a non-glare matt finish. The tips are also mycarta and can handle any string.

The bow draws smooth all the way through a 32 inch draw. The Mohawk shoots fast and quiet and would make an excellent hunting bow at draw weights over 40 pounds; it's key features include being rugged and dependable under all conditions.
