My first custom bow!
« on: July 27, 2017, 01:05:00 PM »
First of all, allow me to apologize for the poor quality photos.  All I had available to take them with was a free Cricket phone.

Anyway, my CrookedStic Hyperstic arrived yesterday and I'm stoked.  She has a Webbwood riser with brown glass.   All I have ever had before her was a Samick Sage and another Cheap Samick longbow.  The Crooked Stic is leaps and bounds ahead of those.  She is the trifecta of fast, smooth, and quiet.  Also, unlike my Samick longbow, I don't feel any hand shock.  

If any of you guys are looking for a new R/D bow, I wouldn't hesitate to give Mike a call.  He was very easy to work with and his bows are way less than other customs I looked at.

Yep I've got one of his recurves too. A lot of bow for the money.

I've not got to shoot one of his. I'm in Rogers. If you'd like to meet up this weekend for some stump shooting or squirrel hunting or something give me a PM with your number.  She's a good looking bow for sure.  The grip looks really nicely contoured.

Maybe it's just me, but anyone notice Mike Mecredy of Mad dog archery was the first to compliment the poster on his first custom bow ( non-maddog archery bow)?

Class act right there.

Regarding the original poster bow, beauty bow. The grip looks like a nice design. Very pragmatic draw weight (44#@29").

 Many happy years of shooting it.
Behavior accepted, is behavior repeated.

I did as well.  I tell you, the vendors of this site and a lot of the traditional archery community in whole seems to be a bunch of folks that are just way above the average person in terms of character, morals, and integrity.  Hunters as a whole seem to be mostly good people but those that pursue game with and produce traditional archery equipment in my opinion seem to be a high mark of the hunting world.

You have every right to be proud of that. Mike is one of the good guys and makes a beautiful bow.
God bless, Steve
