Mohawk SparrowHawk

I just receive a Mohawk Sparrow Hawk 62" 50@28 never owned a one piece bow before I am a 3 pieces take down Longbow guy cant wait to shoot her. can anyone tell what brace height might start with?

I would start at 6 and 3/4 inches and go up or down from their.

Typically a mild R&D like the Sparrowhawk will be somewhere in the minimum 6.5 to 7 1/4 inch max range.

Most of mine have been from 64 to 66 inches length.A shorter limb like on your 62"often dampens out faster allowing shorter brace height.I would bet close to 6 and 3/4 either way is great for that bow

I have a 62" and I'm like steelhead,that seems like a good range. I'm at 7.25"

This bow is sweet I thought it was 62" it actually 64" 50@28 it very smooth.

Those Mohawks are sweet bows. I have 4 of them including a 66" Sparrowhawk.
The others are 64" longbows. All of them are 52 or 53 #. 2 of them being 2 pc takedowns. You're going to love it.

I have 2, they like anywhere from 6.75 to 7.

Mine was a 64" I'm pretty sure I kept it around 7"

Hey folks, I have a Sparrowhawk I picked up a couple years ago. Super nice bow. I think it's 64" and 51 lb @ 28. Any idea if Vince is still building bows? I haven't been able to find a website for him. Thanks!

Terry Green · April 05, 2020, 11:38:54 AM

Pretty sure he retired.

Victory Rider · April 05, 2020, 11:40:56 AM

I don't think he is. I also tried looking him up recently and could not find anything. Lucky I found the sheet he sent with the bow as it answered my questions!

UplandTradGuy · April 05, 2020, 12:02:01 PM

Victory Rider: would it be possible to get a copy of that sheet? I bought my Sparrowhawk used so I didn't get any paperwork. Thanks!

In reference to Vince he is in the process of moving and hasn't got his shop up and running. I'm sure the virus stuff has slowed everything down.
I have two of his and waiting on the finishing touches on a sparrow hawk

Victory Rider · April 07, 2020, 08:46:15 AM

trad bowhunter 1965, yes it was. Funny how we have had very similar histories and animals bowhunting!!! I will keep in touch.
