My Wild Horse Creek longbows
« on: March 21, 2021, 09:06:21 AM »
Last fall I got a beautiful takedown Destiny longbow from Mike at Wild Horse Creek bow. Pistachio veneers I had found with Bolivian rosewood and Myrtle riser. It is 64” 49# at 28”. This immediately became my favorite bow. It is the quietest bow. So after a mishap at work in December I was having trouble with my elbow. I told Mike to make another just like it but lighter. The new one was 43#at 28”. It has tiger myrtle veneers with a Cocobolo and tiger myrtle riser. Both of these have a brown beaver tail grip. I can’t say enough good things about these bows.

I am glad you are getting some good use out of them, Dan.  You need to post photos of your 2 javalena that you shot a couple of weeks ago.  You are the man, Dan.

Have a Destiny takedown,quietest bow I have ever owned.Had a doe look at the arrow stuck in ground after it went through her before she moved.These bows like a heavy weight arrow,at least mine does.

Mike is a class act all the way around and his bows are top notch. I just ordered another one last week.

Dan, at the rate you've been going, you'll be tagged out by the 2nd week of turkey season with those bows.
