Anyone else getting close?
« on: July 19, 2016, 03:13:00 PM »
I've got a Toelke due in the first week of August and should be coming up on Mike Treadway's list sometime in August too.  Man the wait is hurting worse this time then usual.

I've never ordered a custom bow before. Not sure that I could handle a long wait.    :banghead:

How long was the wait.......I hate a long wait. I waited a year once.......never again. The bow was great when I got it but that's just to long for me. A couple of my favorites only took 5-7 weeks, I like that.........   :thumbsup:

I can promise you that the wait for the Toelke & the Treadway will be worth it

Toelke runs about a month, 8 months or so for the Treadway.

When I talked to Dan he told me that he would be giving me a call in 7-8 weeks. 7 DAYS later he called me and wanted my address to ship my bow!

I have a Prarie Predator from Maddog Archery coming in mid-August.  My first custom bow.  I've been anxious since I ordered it!

My Silvertips and Caribow took 14 months or so.  That's my fault.  But I don't want simple stuff:)

I've got a Maddog Mountaineer from Mike McCready that'll be ready in a few weeks if not sooner. I think they're normally 8-10 weeks but he told me he was a little ahead of schedule and I ordered it mid June so could be anytime!!

I waited a little over a year once. It is a tough wait for sure.

I don't have a custom bow (yet   :)  ) so I don't know about that wait time.  Quite a number of years ago, I did have to wait a long time for a custom Shiloh Sharps black powder cartridge rifle made right here in Montana.  It was over two years and I can tell you it was worth it.

Taking mine out Friday night, frog hunting.

Longest wait I've had was for my Blacktail. Think it was about 13 months.
