Title: Wild Horse Creek Kestrel
Post by: ny state land on March 25, 2017, 04:07:00 PM
Mike makes a fantastic bow and has awesome customer service! This a a  bow that i had all the wood for but didn't have the time to build. The veneers are Crazy Mango from Kurt and the handle is Koa also from Kurt. Fast and deadly!

Mike and Susan are wonderful people.  I have a bunch of his bows.  All are beautiful.

Mike is good people. My wife and I had him make us matching bows for our wedding presents to each other. Went up to his place and picked the woods myself.

That is a good looking stick.

Mike doesn't have a website, just word of mouth advertising.  He goes by Horsey on here.

That's too cool. I'm lucky that she enjoys shooting with me.

We are glad you are enjoying your Kestrel, Stacy.  Those Mango veneers really came out nice.  Thank you, and others who have joined in, for your kind comments.

Nice looking bow Stacy.  I always thought Mike's bows looked like real shooters. I always felt I would like shooting one.  But alas, I'm not in the market for a new bow.
Enjoy yours!

I've been a proud and happy owner of a Hawk for more than a few years now. Mike is a Craftsman a Gentleman and a heck of a nice guy.
(He also lives only 15 miles away..)   :D
