Title: New Wild Horse Creek Bow
Post by: wat53 on May 09, 2012, 01:35:00 PM
Just wanted to give credit where credit is due.  I have saved and waited for a custom bow for some time.  It was suggested to me to wait till the Kansas Bowhunters Assoc meeting in March to meet with Mike Dunneway at Wild Horse Creek Bows.  I was told Mike would have some bows at the convention and I would get a taste of what he had to offer.  Best decision I have made since switching to traditional archery 3 yrs ago.  I ordered a Kestral hybrid longbow from Mike back in March.  Several weeks ago Mike called me to come to his shop to be fitted for the new bow.  I received the new bow last week and have gotten it tuned and ready to go.  It is a sweet shooting bow, pulling 50# at 28".  It has a cocobolo/osage orange riser with red elm limbs.  Beautiful.  I highly recommend Mike to anyone wanting a beautiful and functional hunting bow.

Mike makes some really nice bows. Did You get the matching footed arrow also?

Mine is cocobolo/osage too!  Great minds think alike!  Post pictures if you can.  See you at his customer appreciation shoot next year if not before.

I have a Kestral also, met Mike several years ago at a MO Bowhunter expo, and saved pennies and got one.  His customer service is the best.  You will love the bow.

Mike is top notch.  His bows are beautiful and are shooters.  I have 3 of them including a 2pc.  My brother 3 of them including the bow he won last month at his shoot.

I have two of Mike's bows.  Love them.

Too many folks have not yet had an opportunity to shoot one of his bows.  It is a shame.  They are dandies.

I shot my first WHC bow at Compton's a couple years ago.  If he is there this year, everyone should try one of his bows.

I have two of Mikes bows also. They are great shooting bows and great looking bows. A Hawk T/D longbow I have had for long time is my go to bow.  And Mike and Suzy are just great people.

Mike makes a great shooting bow.  I got my WHC at the KBA a few years ago.  Happy hunting.

Mike is a great guy and a top notch craftsman. Funny thing, I live sorta between his shop and The Nocking Point. Both owned by nice guys named Mike...  :)
