Thanks guys
Mike Hayes FINALLY got a web site up. I cant for the life of me find it. I'll dig it up tomorrow and post it up. One of the BEST longbows I have ever shot. I always swore I would get one before I left Colorado, and never did. I will some day. Mike is a great guy, and his bows are top of the line. SUPER popular in the Colorado area.

He just completed the Colorado big 8 last month.

I used one of his bows to shoot the buffalo in my avatar pic. they are truly great shooting bows and the fit/finish is also top quality.
One of Mikes longbows, also have a three piece. (http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/ae298/bfreese_2010/IMG_0123-1.jpg)
Black Canyon Bows are the most forgiving, smooth,easy pointing bows i have shot. Have lots of bows but Mikes bows are always the go too bows for me. can't say enough good things about them.
Beautiful bows!
I have always wanted to shoot one of Mike's bows. The only problem I see with the web site is there are no "In Stock" bows :bigsmyl:
stickhorse, Could you post some pics of your 3 piece as well? Thanks.
1/4 away: will take some tomarrow evening and post them. great Bows.
Sorry guys, should have posted these sooner.Ignore the fuzzy guy he thought he needed in the picks.

Hope these are what you needed.
Stickhorse, what kind of quiver is that ? I like that quiver !
Dan
Thanks stickhorse
Looks like a Ron La Clair 4 arrow Mantis. Also available through Cedar Ridge
i'm glad this came up cause i like the looks of his 3 peice take downs and have been looking and reading every thing i can bout them i need to call him but i have found no negitive feed back what so ever sounds like i need to send him some cash
Mike is under the radar...even in Colorado. I think if he wanted to be a full time bowyer Black Canyon Bows would be mentioned with all the other top tier bows that everybody knows about.
My next new bow will be a Black Canyon...Since I was 13 I have wanted a one piece Black Canyon longbow. I waited so long that now I don't know if I want a longbow or one of his fantastic recurves...guess I'll have to have both. SOON!
Zmonster is right about the Quiver, it is a mantis. My bows all wear EFA Quivers or a side Quiver Mantis!!! Jake FR you will not be sorry with your choice. tell Mike hi for me.
I'm Mike Hays, owner of Black Canyon Bows. I do actually exist and have recently joined in with Trad Gang, a late bloomer I guess. I thank everyone for the great comments made about my bows. Some of you I know and others I hope to meet. That kind of feedback makes it worth while! I have been making bows since the late 1980's and have always kept sort of low key but the beast seems to be wanting to be set free so I'm making more bows now and will likely advertise a little soon.
I do have a website at www.blackcanyonbows.com. (http://www.blackcanyonbows.com.) I am still constructing the site but it has the basic info most would need. I will try to keep my eyes open and be available to answer any questions anyone might have.
Once again thanks for the kind words and talk to you all soon.
Mike
Hi Mike and welcome to the gang. This must be a good omen cause last night I bought one of your TD longbows from the classifieds. :)
Mike, I checked your web site and all I got was a "Claim this domain" notice.
web site works fine for me, good looking bows for sure.
Website worked fine for me. Real good looking bows and prices look pretty fair as well.
I'd like to see more pics of your bows both strung and unstrung.

black canyon bows are top quality bows and Mike is a real asset to the archery world....
and a heck of a shot too!
First link works, second doesn't.
Tommy, why did you just expand my 'List'?! Let me know if you get one in shop, want to test drive.
the second hyperlink is giving you trouble because it has a "period" at the end of the link. The URL works fine, Mike just typed that errant "period" in the link.
Been reading the site some more, plenty of good and helpfull info. there, im sure there will be more photos of bows in time.
May have to get on the list for a 3 piece longbow, really like the details.
Thanks to all and sorry about the typo in the web address. I am still constructing the site so I will continue to add stuff as time goes on. Thanks again,
Mike Hays

His recurve has my # on it, need to pull the trigger
