Title: Wild Horse Creek bows
Post by: Irish on January 19, 2011, 01:59:00 PM
Spent the morning with Mike at WHC bows.   A great guy!!  I shot just about everything he had in the shop that I could pull back.  He dosen't make a lot of bows in a year, less than 25 I believe.   But the quality and attention to detail is as good as I have ever seen.    :clapper:

If you had stayed a little longer, you may have been snowed in and had to shoot his bows a little longer.  I'll ask too, did you take any pics?  What was your favorite?

Mike sure makes a fine bow. I've shot several, but don't own one although I should.  He will be a vendor at the upcoming United Bowhunters of Missouri festival

I really liked the Kestril - 58 inch r/d longbow. Cocobolo and osage riser, olive ash limbs.  Mine will be 52 at 28 with a beaver tail grip.  Bow will have grip overlays and tips of osage, cocobolo and black micarta. I will go to Mike's shop again, and he will shape the grip while I am there.   I am looking forward to that!  I have been talking to Mike at Missouri Bowhunters for 4 years.  I tell him every year, I will be up to his place - today was the day.

Love my 54" recurve Mariah WHC Bow!

I asked Mike to make the grip a little fuller than his demo Mariah.  He nailed it.  It fits great.  Hard little shooter.  Love it.  Mike makes an awsome bow.

Enjoy the Kestril.  I figure one of them will end up on my rack someday too!
