I wanted to express my thanks to Steve Turay at Northern Mist and let you all know that integrity is not a lost virtue. I gave Steve my Baraga last year at the K-zoo Expo and asked him if he could do a weight reduction on it.He said he thought he could reduce it #5. During the course of the year, Steve was swamped with orders and in a phone conversation with him I assured him I was not bowless for the upcoming deer season because I also own one of his Whisper's.Long story short, I told Steve I would pick up my bow at this years Expo. When I went to his booth, he handed me my Baraga in like new condition and said," No charge, Ron. I had this bow way too long. Thank you for your patience." Thank you, Steve, for integrity.
:thumbsup: :clapper:
That sounds like one fine bowyer! Integrity is worth a lot!

That sounds like Steve.
He also had a shoulder surgery about 10 months ago as well. Stand up guy for sure.

Steve Turay is a total class act. I have a bow on order from him myself. He makes some of the best, for sure.
Thanks for sharing!! I've only heard and read great things about Mr. Turay :) Your account adds to the list :)
Now that is how you do business.
Great job Steve!!!!! Hats off!!
That's very refreshing to hear in todays world.
Doesn't surprise me one bit. For many years I shared a campfire at the Michigan Traditional Bowhunters Shoot in Grayling, MI with Steve and he's also been to the Shrewhaven Lodge deer camp. He's as good as it gets.
That is great to hear!! Good for you.
Doesnt get any better.Good man,Great bows.Word of mouth,still the best advertizement.
I guess I'm really not surprised at all!
Yep that is Steve. Always a pleasure talking with him
Steve is "good people" in my book! Bravo, sir, nicely done! :clapper:
Great bowyer and person.
I've only talked to Steve on the phone but I can see him doing that. I look forward to meeting him. I have one of his Sheltons and another on order. He builds a sweet bow for sure.
Very nice in these times to see people still doing what is right,
and good!
Thats right in line with all the other good things I have heard about him. :thumbsup:
Talked to Steve for quite awhile at Kzoo and ended up ordering a new Shelton from him. I was admiring his bows and he asked if I wanted him to order one up. I told him I hadn't come prepared to purchase a bow or put a down payment on one, I'd need to wait and see how my tax return came out. He said he didn't need a down payment, he'd just take my order and let me know when he was starting my bow in about 6 months. That sounded good to me, now I can't wait to get it!
Steve is a super guy and his bows are awesome! He makes you feel like a close friend whenever you're around him. Yes sir, he's the real deal! Horserod
I met Steve quite awhile ago, and liked him right off the bat. He was at ShrewHaven the first time I was there. He made me a sheath for my Grandfathers knife, just because he was afraid the old sheath was coming apart. One of the most decent and honest guys in traditional archery, in my opinion. I have had a few of his bows, they are flawless. My wife shoots a Superior, and I am about to enter a long term affair with a green glass Baraga. I'm not comfortable saying who it is, but there is a rather famous bowhunter who told me more than once "This is the finest shooting longbow I have ever had" about Steves "Shelton".
Some of you collectors might note...he is offering a limited run (I think 25) of a 25 year anniversary bow.
