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

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.
