Mike doesn't have his website up yet, but give him a call and he'll send you a brochure, or I could scan one and send it to you.

Nice bow Mark! :thumbsup:
Man that's a beautiful bow! That's another one I'll have to dream about awhile.
Beautiful bow. What is the boyers name? I met him once at a big traditional shoot in MS. I recognized him by his big black glasses he had on. Very nice fella and has been building bows for a long time now. Not a bow I really ever see around here but then I am the only one shooting Robertsons around here.
Alright Mark!! I'll get some pics of my new osage Bruin to you asap if you wouldn't mind posting them?? Mike Steliga is back in a big way and his work is exceptional!!! Just an easy to shoot, beautifully crafted recurve!!! LOVE IT !!!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Mike made a very fine hunting bow...smooth and fast.
Good luck with the "new" Bruin.
Is Mike back at building bows full time?
I have a Master Express with 2 sets of limbs, its the best shooting bow that I have.
Mike Steliga builds a great bow...I've had a couple of them. The craftsmanship is second to none, and they're fine shooters. A visit to his shop is a treat,too. Congrats on the new bows, guys!
Congrats! :thumbsup: Outstanding Looker! :notworthy:
Congrats! Beatiful bow. That's good to hear the Bruin's are back. I had a one piece that had outstanding performance.

WOW,
Mike has sure made some changes in the appearance of his bows. They were always good performers but very...utilitarian? Very Nice!

Mike's bows are getting more and more beautiful. Congrates on some nice bows guys.
I met Mike at the ETAR back in 1994 or so. Mike made my first custom bow, a WoodsMaster SE take down recurve. It was all laminated maple, even the limbs. A very simple bow, yet a very good bow. I've had a few sets of limbs made over the years for it. If you get him on the phone he can talk your ear off. :) I've had my share of bows since then, most I don't have anymore. But I still have that Bruin.
