Title: Maddog Bows

Just wondering if any of you folks have had any experience with these bows.  The look good on the website.
Thanks.

You won't be sorry going with a Maddog bow.  Each of my sons shoot longbows, 2 are the mid size, and one is the pup size.  They look and shoot great, and you can't beat Mike's prices.

Mike is making a mid-size 3 piece longbow for us right now....should have it in a few more weeks!

I have a MUTT and its a fantastic bow. You get a custom bow fitted to you at a fraction of the price. Light weight, no pinch, no stack, shoots straight, great price... I even got antler tips on my bow to boot!

In fact, I've ordered two more... a Mutt for my Dad and a recurve for my girlfriend! It means a lot to me to be able to bring others into the sport.

Hand made by Mike, attention to detail, great customer service, great price, great guy!

I refered my friend Justin to Mike and he bought a Mutt. I shot it and liked it a lot.

I plan to order one for myself, but in the mean time, I ordered one for my friend Lee as a gift.

I think the Mutt is probably the best custom value around. They shoot great and are extremely easy on the pocket book.

Hey everyone, thanks for the kind words.  It's customers like you all that alow me to get by without paying for advertising.  I'm deeply thankful.  

To those that bought from me and things "weren't quite right", I also thank you for keeping things between us, and  for the feed back that helped me to try and do better.  

I've found out over the years since, being in business, the traditional archers are truely high caliber people, and only that has made me successful.

Thanks

My Sister just ordered two.  Mid-sized recurve for my nephew Cameron and a pup longbow for my daughter Charlotte.

Can't wait for them to get here for the kids to have a go.

I'd much rather support a independent boywer than one of the  "off the shelf" archery companies.

(Hi Mike it's Andy for Sydney I never got back to you to place the order as my sister did instead - cheers)

I remember calling Mike a few years ago when I was looking for bows for my sons.  He told me, "I like to make nice bows for kids to shoot, not just a chunk of fiberglass with a rubber handle stuck on.  That way, they feel like they are shooting a REAL bow."

They are definitely 'real bows' complete with leather grip, elk antler limb tip overlays, inset medallion, and did I mention they shoot great?

Cool photos - your kids have great form for their ages too!

Those photos are going to be gold when you boys are older.

Well after doing some research and seeing the great reviews, I'm going to make sure my next bow is going to be a Maddog. Thanks for all the replys to this gentlemens question, helped myself and I'm sure a few others too.
