today marks ten years
« on: January 26, 2016, 12:00:00 PM »
Jan. 26 2006 I launched Maddog traditional Archery.  It's been great making bows for a living.  I thank those here at the tradgang who  have made it possible.  Terry Green, for extending the invite to become a sponsor, Rob DiStefano for making and maintaining my website, and the numerous customers who promote Maddog bows.  I couldn't say for sure how many bows I've built, but I do have over 1200 addresses in my customer folder, and some of them ordered more than once.  
It's been a great journey, I've never operated at a loss, thanks to those who have made it a success.  Thanks to God for making the trees that become all the pretty wood, and the good performing limbs, without those resources it couldn't happen.  
I look forward to many more years to come, more years of making my next one the best one.

Congrats Mike, I just want to say that you have figured something out with that Prairie Predator, That bow has the best working limbs than any bow I've ever owned.

Congratulations!  And thanks for what you do for the kids!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Congratulation Mike on your continued success.  I really like the bow you made for me and it is an honor and a privilege to use a bow I know you made personally.

Here's to at least 10 more years!
