Bagged a couple Bruins
« on: January 01, 2009, 10:16:00 AM »
Good fortune smiled on me the last day of 2008. I found two stunning examples of Mike Steliga's craft in pristine condition.

Bruin Master, RH, 62", 65# @28", Shedua riser, purple heart and maple accents. Maple core limbs under brown glass. Tapped for and including a Delta quiver.
   
   
Bruin Huntmaster, RH, 60", 60# @28", Maple riser, walnut accents. Maple core limbs under black glass. Tapped for and including a Delta quiver.
   
   

I shot both bows yesterday and although they are B-50 string only they are very fast, stable, and about as smooth drawing as anything I've shot. The grip is outstanding and it forces your hand to envelope the shelf so you are literally shooting off the top of your hand.

Pretty impressive bows!

Yes, Mike makes some of the best bows ever made, very smooth, fast and accurate. Good finding.Felix

Nice find, and a great price. I've had a couple Bruins that I wish I hadn't parted with. Mike makes a great bow. Good purchase.

What is the serial number on the Bruin Master? Reason for asking is one of my first Bruins looked just like that with those specs.

Kelly:

The bow is marked 62",65# and the word "Griz" and the #16. I'm quite sure the fellow I purchased it from said he bought it from Mike but I could be wrong. It is an incredible shooting bow but at my 31" draw right at the upper level of my comfort range. I'm shooting 800 gr. laminated birch arrows and it puts a heck of a wallop on my target bag!
