Well, I have been awaiting the arrival of my new Maddog bow for several reason's. Number one is that it is a NEW bow! Number two is I love MADDOG bows. Number three is this is serial number one of his new design. The first one sold to tyhe public.
Well, we talked monday and he said he was getting ready to ship it out but made some statements about how "he had done better work" and "I hope you like it". Basically down playing it as being ugly or blotched up. I told him not to worry because I was going to be using it for hunting anyway, etc.... I was thinking how bad can it be knowing he wouldn't send me a pile of junked up looking thing.
I recieved the bow today expecting to find something wrong with it and I have spent no less than one hour going over this thing and have yet to find a flaw in it anywhere. The pics speak for themselves. It is a birch solid riser, stained dark brown, black limbs, 61# at 28" or 58# at 26". And it has the Bible verse I requested on the opposite side of the riser from the sight window.
The bow is marked number 1 because this is the first one being sold of the new design. As you can see from the pic the bow has some wicked lines and performance to match. I have been shooting a recurve for the last several months and the absolutely ridiculious amount of noise it makes when compared to a maddog longbow is unbelievable.
I have always preached a quiet bow but this one is so quiet the first time I shot it me and my step son just laughed because the bow made no noise but that arrow was screamimg down range.
The arrow sticking into the block target at 20 yards made more noise than the bow. It is so quiet it is funny.
I am very, very, very pleased with this bow. What an outstanding job of craftsmanship and design in one bow. Check it out fellas.
God Bless
