Title: Mad Dog Archery
Post by: Izzy on February 22, 2008, 08:39:00 PM
Hey All, Im interested in getting my 7 year old a well built. good looking longbow.He had an Internature recurve that we gave to his cousin and then I bought him a 37# HH Bear Cub.He shoots it well but I can tell he struggles a bit and I worry about injury.I also think the lighter the bow the more hell enjoy it at this time.We'll save his Hill bow for a couple more yearsSo for any of you who have experience with these Maddogs what can I expect?Are they durable?And at his age are they cool looking is more important.
                          Thanks, Izzy

Yes on all accounts. My boy is getting a Pup for his 5th birthday in April. Mike is a good guy also and easy to deal with.

Mike make a great bow.  They are very well made and perform really well.  I have bought two from Mike for my daughter.  The are very durable and everyone that has seen her shooting her bow thought it was very cool!  Here is a picture of the one my daughter is currently shooting.

I had one made for one of my sons and these are the best value on the planet.  Looks just like Dad's bows and even comes with a few arrows to boot.  Mike and his bows get my highest rating  :thumbsup:

My daughter loves her bow.  That is the bottom line for me!  Of course it didn't hurt that Mike was a great guy to deal with, the bow is well made and the price was very reasonable.

I just ordered my 10 yr old son a bow from Mike. He is a very good guy to deal with and really helped me to get the right bow for my son. He is actually trying something different with this bow but I won't tell until it is finished then I'll post pics. Bow should be ready around mid-April.

Sounds like a good deal.I asked Partner to choose his wood for the bow but he said hed rather it be a surprise so Im thinking Coco Riser with Zebra lams.Ill be contacting Mike this week.
               Thanks Fellas, Izzy

Yes, Mike is a great guy and makes great bows.  All three of my boys got new Maddog bows this past Christmas and they love them.  They look and shoot great!
