Mike Hayes is not very well know East of the Rocky's but let me tell you he sure can build a very nice bow. Super smooth draw, points and hits perfect with no shock. I got the cross cut lams from Mike Pyeatt at www.rosewoodarchery.com (http://www.rosewoodarchery.com) and love them. String still settling in but I can tell she's a keeper.

TJ,
That be some purty candy right there bud !!! Love the looks and shape of the grip. Enjoy !!!
sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet! I like everything about that bow. I shoot mostly longbows and that grip just looks perfect. Well Done TJ.
Very nice!
Sweet looking bow! Love the wood combos.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
TJ,
I love td recurves and this one makes your wallet itch! Does this bow look like the old pronghorn t/d recurve that is no longer made?
Doug, I am not sure. If you are ever in the neighborhood stop by and give her a go. Maybe some other Black Canyon shooter with pronghorn experience can chime in.
I usually like the sharp lines on three piece bows but that riser just flows very nicely. Pleasing to the eye. Looks like great craftsmanship too!!
Great looking bow Congrats!!!
hey Tom, that looks nice. I realy like it.
Great looking bow TJ.
I love the cross cut veneers.
Very nice. :thumbsup:
That one looks like a shooter for sure.
WOW what a beauty! how does your wife feel about it sleeping in bed with you? cuz i know thats where a bow like that would be if it were mine! lol
That looks just all around right.
Ive not shot the recurve but Mikes t/d longbow is sure sweet to shoot, extremely well made, great grip etc....
Very nice. You can stare at that all day when on stand and not get tired of it.
You made my day man. I have found the kind of bow I have been looking far. Does anyone have experience with his 2 piece T/D longbows?
Please PM me.
Thanks
That grip sure is sweet and the leather wrap is done perfectly
Very nice Tom! Once again I bow to your choice in bows!! :notworthy: :notworthy:
Very nice...I too love the grip. Looks as though it would melt into your hand!
Congratulations, that is a nice looking recurve...
:archer2: :archer2:
Grip is fantastic.
Awbowman - I know Fred Cioffi (1/4 away) has one and really likes it. He's had a bunch of top shelf bows and says his BC is one of the best. He turned me onto them. He's out of town on a hunt this week but send him a pm.
I LIKE IT! IT DOES LOOK VERY WELL MADE. You don,t have long until it opens?
Nice bow TJ!
My,My, that's a nice one!!! :thumbsup:
Congrats Buddy.....great looking bow! :clapper:
Sweeet! With that brace height, should zip an arrow.
Very very nice....
Tom
What a looker, and love the combo you picked! I got a chance to shoot a bow very similar to that this year, and can attest to your comments....they are shooters for sure!!!
Good for you!
Very nice!
just got one yesterday great shooter just a little heavy for me 62" 52@28 at my 30"
:thumbsup: Very nice!!!
Mike makes a great bow. They are on my short list. Now if I can ever save up the $$$. If you ever get tired of it, I'll hopefully be ready. Good luck with her.
Thanks guys. Getting a new string from Josh in the next day or two. Wow, he is amazing. Well that's a separate post.
Thats Plum purdy Tom ! Love those cross cut veneers !
Now that is one sweet looking bow for sure. Love them cross cut veneers!
Smooth lines on that riser, a man can shoot better with a riser that has smooth lines, no funky business. Multiple angle risers are like the diverging diamonds, they tend to confuse a man. LF
i like your bow tj. nice wood combo, and a 3 piece to boot. i hope ya get some blood on it. rv
Does he have a longbow?
Great looking bow TJ, as usual your choice is spot on.
Great looking bow!
Congrats on a beautiful bow
Tom,
What a beauty!!!
