Just got back from Wild Horse Creek with my new 54" Mariah. 50 lbs at 28". It is a cocobolo riser flanked by olive ash w/ hard maple core limbs. The tips are black micarta, maple, and cocobolo. B50 15 strand string (extra string included). The matching wood footed arrow was a nice touch as well.
A must place to visit if you ever are in the NE Kansas area. Great guy to visit with and to buy a bow from. I'm already planning my next one.
Actually, 'ONE' is a very loooose term. In the last 2 years I have purchased 19 bows including recurves, longbows, and compounds. Most of the compounds are on the market now. So I guess when I say next 'one', I probably should translate that to at least 2-3. I'm glad Mike has lots of wood options!
I shot 3 different arrow weights and spines and it handled them all very well.

Wow, that is a very nice looking bow. I really like the smooth lines of it. Great looking wood combo also. Is there a website for more info?
nice lookin' bow, brian.
Very nice!
Sweet looking bow! :thumbsup:
I went up to Mikes last weekend to shape the grip on my new Kestrel. I agree, Mike is great to deal with and builds terrific bows.

Great looking bow! That would be a good one to use out of a ground blind.

Just got off the phone with Mike archeryx. Thanks for the information.
Now the decisions start! So many woods, so little time!
I am really excited about getting my 2pc back now! The refinish and wrap should be awesome.
he builds a great bow i have 2 of them and are great shooters
Took it out today and found some woodies that were spined right. Here is my first attempt at cresting from a couple weeks ago.

That looks great to me. Maybe a white nock instead of black so it shows up better.
Nice looking bow!May it fit and serve you well.
Nice one! Got to love those 50's style recurves.
good lookin bow, the arrow turned out pretty good as well
