Who shoots a Wild Horse Creek longbow?
« on: November 01, 2019, 02:09:42 PM »
Can those of you that shoot a WHC longbow please post a pic of your bow. I’m particularly interested in the Kestrel. Thanks.

Always liked the looks of them and feel like I'd be able to shoot it well.  I'm curious of people's responses although I've never shot one nor intend to buy one at the moment

Hey Fred :wavey:
Relax,

I have a Kestral. Light in the hand and shoots great. Mike is a pleasure to do business with.

I have about 9 of Mike's bows.  Great workmanship and they shoot great.  Mike is great to work with.

I Have a Hawk, Kestrel, and a Destiny that Mike made. They are all great bows that shoot the draw great and hit where I am looking and are all great looking bows.  As said above Mike is very good to work with. Mike has donated a bow every year to the Kansas Bowhunters which says a lot about his love of bow building and bowhunting.  When I feel I need one more bow it will be a Wild Horse Creek!

I only have one of Mike's bows. It is a Hawk and a great looking and smooth shooting bow.
Mike is a Craftsman in the classic sense and a great guy.

Contacted Mike about basic questions I had for a future bow, (way down the road) and he was very accommodating.  Made recommendations about what would be best for my requirements.

My wife & I both have a Mariah & Kestrel. Love them. Mike is in a class by himself as a bowyer and as someone you want to know as a friend.

I have been shooting Wild Horse Creek Bows for about 4 years now,mine is whisper quiet and likes a heavy arrow,love it when I run a 2 blade Delta through a deer and they flinch and look around trying to figure out what just happened.I am partial to the Destiny which is the most forgiving and easy to shoot bow I have ever owned.
