Mike's a great guy to pay a visit to. It's easy to spend hours shootin' the breeze with him in his showroom. Great guy.

So, how was it? Did you find it to be fast quiet and smoothhhhhhhhh?
Did you find the cord?
Pull the card and put it in the slot.
I would love to go to the local shops sometime.
I hope many show at the WTA banquet. We should have a range there.

I was talking with mike on the phone the other day, he does like to talk. I bought my first custom bow from him back in the mid '90s, a WoodsMaster TD recurve. I bought another set of limbs down the road, a bit lighter than the original. I just sent back the original limbs to get lightened and retillered for 3 under. I've stayed in touch off and on throughout the years with Mike. A nicer guy you'll not meet. I would like to see him again just to shoot the breeze. A road trip might be in my future plans.

WWB, they are nice bows for sure! i remember shooting one at a sport shop in trego right off  53. on a side note...ever stop in at ron grahms taxidermy in sprinbrook?  Ron shoots stickbows and has some awesome animals on display, some of the best tax work i have ever seen.

You'll like his longbow. I had one for awhile, and as usual, wish I still had it. Mike's a great craftsman.
