Anybody shooting a Treadway Black Swamp?
« on: July 03, 2017, 03:50:00 PM »
Hi all, have a 62" 45# Black Swamp coming this week. Wondering what the brace height should be at approximate? Also how do you like them as far as smoothness, quietness, etc? Thanks, Bob

I have a 60" 42# @ 28" I run the brace at about 8 3/8 - 8 1/2. I draw it to 29"......smooth and quick with yarn string puffs and a 600 gr arrow almost silent. Your going to like it.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Bunch of folks in our club shoot the Treadway bows. I have never heard a single bad thing said about Mike's bows.

They shoot awesome, good as any Centaur.  Quite fast and as quiet as you could want.  Craftsmanship is in the top echelon and Mike has an eye for good wood.  I had a 62" and recall it shot well around 7 3/4.

Mike is an excellent bowyer. Been around a long time, sweet shooting bows. Never heard a grumble about his bows. Keepers!
Happy trails....   ('till we meet again, Dale Evans Rogers)

It's here and i'm a happy camper. Shoots very nice. Real smooth, quick and quiet. Love the grip. Brace is at 7&3/4" and my Elite woods fly like darts out of it. Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
