Should I purchase this bow?

[cbushee]

List your email and I'll forward it to you experts. It is a premade mad dog bow from a man on ***********. My only concern is it is a bit short at 54". My dl may be 28+. I will have to get it measured. Thanks for your understanding with a beginner.

sounds like a midsize recurve built by mike at maddog archery. i think they are only rated at a 26" DL. 45# max.... he has a website and contact info.  www.maddogarchery.com

hope this helps

I wouldn't bother e-mailing me any specifics because I'm going to vote "buy it" no matter what kind/make/model/brand of bow it turns out to be just because.... Why should I be the only one who gets into trouble for buying another bow. I can also point out to my wife that there are lots of other guys who get to buy bows and here's a fine example. I did not read once in the 1st post anything about getting the wife's' permission, He just asked us our opinion.... mine is yes!
God bless,Mudd

I have a 54" Prowler by Mike, and it shoots great out to a 30" draw. No pinch, and easy to make quiet. Shoots 3555 GT's with a 100 gr tip very fast.

Will do and I'm 14,so I get permission from parents not wife. I wasn't going to buy my own custom because I wanted to get started and it takes 3 months. The bows he makes are gorgeous though. This man has a great deal: 200 and it includes shipping. The bow looks fantastic.

Sounds good to me friend.  A lot of us folks used 52" bows back in the 60's when folks didn't know they were too short 8^).  We did very well with them.

Im with others here who have far more experience than i yes, buy the bow

[pitbull]

You can always re-sell it if you don't like it, for that price. You don't have anything to lose.

[cbushee]

The man selling it is Richard Wiltanger. Does anyone have experience with him? He's throwing in beginner items like arrows and extra strings. Thanks for the help.

[jomama]

buy the bow.

I would still call Mad Dog.   I'm sure the bow is good, because I've never heard of him building otherwise.  However, he has built a lot of kid's bows.  It was his specialty earlier on, and at that length, this might be a youth bow he build that is not tillered for as long a draw as you have.

It's the prowler 2. I'm purchasing the bow with many extras he threw in for free. I'm using paypal and I'm ordering a little after Saturday because I sold something to a friend and will receive the full payment then. Any suggestions by then? He ironically said that he will throw in a dozen or so arrows of the kind that the person here mentioned. I have an archery shop close by so I can buy accessories from there. The man who owns the shop is a traditionalist and makes very nice bows. All I think I need is a quiver and a stringer. I ordered previously a 45# longbow from 3 rivers archery that was 120$ but out of my league and not a beginner bow but I believe I still have the accessories like gloves and etc. Thank you for your help with my first bow.

buy it! I will make you feel better

[Plumber]

buy it! IT will make you feel better sorry my key board ran out of "T"s on the first post.lol

I can't remember what I sold Richard other than a prowler II.  If he's letting it go for $200 it's a good deal though.
