I would like to see lots of pics as well...along with the woods used. Lots of threads on Mike’s bows...but the photobucket issues wiped out all the pics.

I shoot one of Mikes Black Forest bows, 60”, I also have a 66” Back to Basic and a 56” Black Swamp. You might say I like Treadway bows. Mike also makes a 3 piece takedown called the Black Rock and a 2 piece bow also. The Black Forest is my favorite. The craftsmanship is second to none and you won’t find a finer person to deal with Give him a call

I have a 50# black swamp. I love it. Smooth shooting and beautiful wood colors. Don't know how to post pics here.

Mike has invented 4 or 5(maybe more) different take down systems. All work great. BW has used at least one and I think Tomahawk also used one or more.
 You'll never regret getting a Treadway bow.
 I got my Treadway back in 1999, it was the next to the last of his old style he made and it still is as good as the day I bought it.

Treadways are tops.  Built as nice as any Blacktail and shoot like a Centaur.  Can't go wrong.

Here’s my Black Swamp, 62”, 38# @ 28”. Was shooting for 40# @ 30”. Cocobolo and satinwood riser, bamboo cores, curly Birdseye maple limb veneers.
Mike sure makes a fine bow.

If you really want a Treadway bow, C'mon down and spend a bit of time with Mike. You will remember and value  that time far beyond your assessment of a bow.

I've adopted too many bows that needed a good home.

I have had the pleasure of making 2 trips to Mikes shop.  A true humble gentleman that I cherish each trip.

I don’t think you can go wrong with any of Mike Treadway’s models. They all shoot great.  He is also one heck of a guy to sit down and talk to. Always enjoy my visits with Mike.

Last I spoke with Mike, several years ago, he was only taking orders from previous customers...seemed like he was winding down a bit. I really enjoyed my Blackforest longbow--beautiful work! And, a really great person. Mike made it for me from a juniper tree I cut high in the Rockies not far from where I lived at the time. UPS was surprised to ship a bare log, bark and all.

Lots of speed in Mike's bows, too. After a few shoulder surgeries, that was the last bow I finally sold, if you have it, drop me a line.
