Just got off the phone with Mike Treadaway. I've wanted one of his bows since I met him some 20+ years ago. I've REALLY wanted one of his fancy bows with the arrow inlays, stacked riser, hand rubbed finish, etc. since I first saw one at Cloverdale at least 10 years ago. Last year, after a long talk at the KY Tradfest (and permission from my wife), we made it happen. Mike said my bow should be ready by the 2017 Tradfest. Dang...I had tried to forget it, but now it's killing me! I haven't bought a custom bow in a long time...looking forward to this one!
If you don't know mike, he's one of the friendliest guys you'll ever meet, honest as the day is long, and makes one heck of a nice bow.

See ya at the KY Tradfest. Looking forward see you and your new bow!
-
Sounds like it will be a beauty!Congrats.
What model did you get?How longs the wait?
-
Congrats on your new bow
-
Awesome, Chad! Now find something to do that will take your mind off it until it arrives!
-
Mike is first class. His arrow inlay hand rub finish is unreal
-
I got one of his fancy inlay bows year before last. It shoots as good as it looks.I will be there with custom wood arrows in a vendor booth. Love to see your bow.
-
Super bows...congrats!
-
I will probably see you at the Ky. Tradfest this year.
-
Congrats Chad !!!! Looking forward to seeing pictures when it arrives.

Wait time is approximately 1 year...think mine is coming in a little less than that. I forget the model, but I think it's the only deflex/reflex he builds in a 66". Don't have a clue what woods he is going to use, I just told him to make it as pretty as he wants to. Shooting for 53@30 (I wanted something 50-55@30, so we split it down the middle).
Now I have to decide on what colors I want in my string.....
-
Sounds awesome, can't wait to see how your bow turns out.
-
Sounds like you're getting the Black Forest. I'm sure its gonna be beautiful. Mike Treadway is a true artist. My name is coming up on his list as well.
-
I just got a call from Mike last night as well! He will be bringing my bow to TradFest too!
I ordered a 54" Black Forest 43@28.
-
I just hope I can be there to pick it up. Might have a scheduling conflict. We'll see.
-
Nothing better than pulling the trigger on a new bow, congrats! Does Mike have a website out of interest?
-
As far as I know Mike doesn't have a web site--his sales are word of mouth, and he has been a year out on orders for as long as I can remember.
-
I have two, they are not for sale. Can't go wrong with a Treadway !
