I had one made back in 2019 specifically for an Ocellated turkey hunt in Mexico. This two-piece takedown model is 54" long and 53#@28". The limb core is maple and the veneer is spalted maple. The riser is cocobolo. I also took this bow on a 2019 moose hunt because it actually shot my heavy arrows at 30 yards better than my 64" longbow. It draws very smoothly and really feels good in my hand. Mr. Dunnaway is a master craftsman and his bows are a functional piece of art. In fact, I am so impressed with the Mariah that I just ordered another one for my 2022 Gould's turkey hunt in Mexico.

You will not be disappointed with a bow from Mike!

All the pictures of the bow look nice, but the best photo by far is the one where it is draped across the turkey.

I just booked a 2022 Gould's turkey hunt and called up Mike Dunnaway yesterday to have another Mariah made for the trip. I think repeat business says more about a bow and bowyer than anything else.

I only have longbows from Mike but can attest to the quality work he does. I know 2 other guys besides Darren that have a Mariah and they are both very happy with them.

I went to Rosewood Archery Products yesterday and picked out the woods for my new Mariah. After much slobbering over beautiful, exotic species, I decided on kingwood for the limb veneer and birdseye maple for the riser. Now comes the waiting...

I had a Thermal some 20 years ago loved it, beautiful, absolutely stunning, and shot like a dream.   I just always grab my longbows so I sold her....
