$345 with a half dozen arrows! Osage with Purpleheart accents, elm veneers over actionboo, and will shoot fastflite. No wonder he's getting a waiting list. Good cast, quiet and solid built. Great job Maddog Archery!

He builds some nice bows. My girlfriend loves her midsize recurve. My oldest son is chomping at the bit waiting on his midsize longbow to get here. Not only does Mike build great bows but he is very easy to talk to and help walk a fella through placing an order.

Great looking bow!

I don't know how he sells them for that price.

I started a thread about Mike's bows on the other forum I'm on,and already got him two potential orders.Like Apex predator said,I don't know how he can sell them bows at such a price.

I can't wait to get up there and try that one out Dave. :thumbsup:

I was on his site yesterday. When I'm ready for my first custom bow, it will be a Maddog bow.

Mike doesn't make excuses why he can't do something; he just does it. For the archer who's wallet is not regularly filled with extra cash, he is a blessing. Maddog Archery shows there is a market for quality merchandise that doesn't require a home equity loan. Others could do it as well....they just don't.

Thanks David. It's possible because I don't eat much, don't have lots of toys, and I'm pretty much low maintenance.

You know, I offered to do Mikes photography for him and he noted that if he got too busy it wouldn't be fun anymore. I think he is a man who REALLY enjoys what he does and wants everybody else to be able to enjoy also. What a life. :thumbsup:

How? Jigs and a system. Bet if he has it down-pat and I bet he does, there is only 3-5 hours per bow tops.
