Had to post this since buying a '69 Tamerlane. Wish I could shoot as good as Jimmy!

Absolutely amazing how well he can shoot and you can see what these beautiful bos were and are capable of as far as accuracy. He's a heck of a shot

Yes, that's why I had to have one.

Nice bows for sure.
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.

CaptKirk how do you like shooting that Tamerlane? I have never ordered one but have come close a few times.

I can say this, Nate: the Tamerlane is an amazing bow (as are the Tamujin and the Tartar, so I'm told) and I don't regret one instant buying it. With the light carbons I'm shooting, you don't even realize it's a 35# bow. With the heavier arrows you could see a bit of arc in the trajectory, but not with these carbons. It's fantastic for working on shooting form and grouping, being a light draw weight yet heavy, stable shooting platform. Zero hand shock. It's easy to see why champion shooters in the '60s and '70s were racking up trophies with these babies.
