Title: Maddog Madness!
Post by: Wannabe1 on February 21, 2011, 05:27:00 PM
We had an exceptionally warm day today so, I took a break from the Hill bows and shot my Maddog named "Stinger". Bow is 60", 50# @ 28". I draw 29". 2nd group, 15yds. 2016's cut 29.5 bop with 145gr tip. A real flat shooter and very quiet.

If you haven't tried one of Mikes bows, you don't know what you are missing. For an economical working mans bow, these bows shoot as good as any custom I've shot.    :thumbsup:

That's Mikes new 60" recurve. I had it made with Bumblebee Diamond wood. Hence the name "Stinger". What I like the most about it, is its narrowness of limb and riser. Makes for a very stable and fast bow in my opinion. At 60" it is a great stand/blind bow.

Oh ya, it is also the very first one and marked as such.   :thumbsup:

I'm glad you got 001, now when I order mine I can drag it through the brush and not feel bad about it getting some field wear!

I have an order in with Maddog Archery, looking for it around April. Can't wait and I hope it looks as good as your bow!

I am still waiting on mine, but I shot a buddies the other day and WOW!  His craftmanship is second to none as you can tell and man was it quiet and fast.  The bow was 51# @26, and was flinging a 520 grain arrow like a missle.  It was undoubtablly the fastest and quietest bow I have ever shot or seen.  He does make a smoking bow.

AWPForester, was that a longbow, recurve, or mutt you were shooting?

Post by: Wannabe1 on February 22, 2011, 05:58:00 PM
Thom, it doesn't matter if it's 001 or 100, I'm still gonna drag it through the woods!   :D  Especially if I elk hunt here on the west coast as brush in the coastal range is to thick for my longbows.

Verrry nice!
The two of you will be making some beautiful music together come fall.   :thumbsup:

I've been up in the Oregon coastals a few times and it's mighty fine elk country (albeit sometimes a little too thick for my liking.) I've got little doubt the bow will show some well earned wear if you take it out into that kind of brush!

I hope you get some nice rosie tenderloins for your effort!
All the best,
Thom
