My son Jake, finally received his first new custom bow from Mike @ Mad Dog. He wanted so bad to open it but waited on me to get home from work before he did so we could open it together. It is cocobolo with bamboo and clear glass, it's 40#s @ 28 and really zings an arra. We didn't have much time tonight to set the brace or tune any arra's but we'll get her done tomorrow before we head off to OJAM for the weekend. Here's the pics.

well thats a sweet bow looks like hes having fun already.

Very nice. My boy just received a Pup from Mike this past weekend. He'll be shooting it soon.

cant wait to see it in action at ojam

Yes, Mike makes great bows.  All three of my boys have Mad Dog bows, they love them.  They look and shoot great.

Great looking bow! Your son sure looks as like he is enjoying it.

Wow, sweet looking bow!  Mike is a top notch guy!

I have a little story to tell, please forgive me for hijacking your thread here, I'll make it quick...

My wife recently interviewed for a summer nanny job.  She immediately had a connection with the parents because the father had been trying to make a bow with his son.... long story short, the next day they traveled out to Mad Dog archery (3 hours) to interview Mike for the son's paper.  Mike ended up GIVING them a pup recurve because the son was so excited about archery.  Mike had mistakenly put black glass on the back and clear on the belly.  I have never heard a bad thing about Mike, class act.

Nice bow, looks like you are in for some quality time!

Mike

My 7yo boy has one coming, theyre really cool.I hope your boy enjoys his new bow.Congrats to him.

Real nice lookin bow.

Congrats .  

Very Cool! Congratulations!

I wasn't so sure how bamboo under clear glass would turn out, but once I got that bow off the form, and took the masking tape off the limbs, I was suprised.  

It looks like it suits him good. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to make a bow for him.
