To my knowledge, I'm the only one he's made them for. What would you like to know?

Wow, those are awesome!  Great choice of woods on both bows!

The short take down recurves I made for Prairie Drifter are copies mimicking Rocky Recurves that he sent me.  Rockies aren't being made any longer.  I reluctantly made those, since I really would rather made my own designs, and not try to duplicated the work of others.  To me the designs I came up with are a product of my creative thinking, an art I suppose.  And to try and make another's design, to me, is like Toby Keith trying to sing a Miley Cyrus song. (Vice Versa as well)

well said Mike !

[Possum Head]

Guess a summary wont be necessary since they wont be in production I see your point with respect to copies. You did an excellent job. Thank yall for the reply.

I will add, John Morris, who made the Rocky Mountain Recurves was a Bowyer among bowyers. An engineering genius.  I've never had the chance to talk to him.  But to attempt to match that kind of work, all I can do is try.  I don't know the taper rate he used for his lams, and in fact it even appears that he tapered his fiberglass, but it hard to tell.  Why a guy who built bows of that caliber quits doing it, is beyond me.

I ordered a prairie predator from Mr Mecredy, my first custom anything and I am beyond excited.  Seeing all the great pics of his work has me counting the days before I get to lay hands on my new bow!

I saw one of his kid bows at a shoot in the bay area well made and the kid shooting it was jacked
