Title: Maddog turns 4 years old today.
Post by: Mike Mecredy on January 27, 2010, 05:13:00 PM
Yep, this day in 2006, I got my business registered and the sellers permit, and all the other stuff that allows the State and Federal governments to tax me, and made my hobby a business.  Since then I really couldn't say how many bows I've made without looking into my records, but it's been a bunch.  I've went from a 12' X 16' section of an attached garage to a 900 sq ft, shop.  It's been a great 4 years, and I look forward to many more.  I especially thank those customers that have given me good reviews and kept me from having to advertise. By keeping my costs low I've been able to keep my prices low as well.  Also Vermonster 13 and Terry Green for contacting me to build the monthly youth bows, and for the contributions from the TGMM, that really jumped started business for me.  

So I suppose at 4 years old it's not longer a baby business but now officially a toddler business.  (unless you apply dog years)

Congrats Mike.
Don't own one of your bows, but send folks that way, when they ask!
Many, many more years.  Quality workmanship!  Reasonable cost!

Congrats Mike,
I know my boy loves his PUP you built for him a few years ago. But soon he will be ready for a bigger bow and you are first on my list.
