I too have plans on having one of those Mutts on a leash in the future. I called Mike out of the blue one day just to talk. It was truly my pleasure. I was looking at the "Hero" pictures on his site and saw a man that didn't live too far away. Eddie was nice enough to agree to meet me at a local archery shop between us. Well as fate would have it Eddies Uncle passed and he couldn't make it. I still look forward to meeting him. Anyway he made a trip to the shop and left his recurve for me to shoot. How awesome is that? I'm not a real recurve man when it comes to hunting but I love shooting bows and I mean any kind of bow. I own several different styles of bows and when I'm shooting target I will shoot whatever the mood says. Back to the story. I strung up this nice looking and well made recurve. It wasn't what I'd call fancy but it had workmanship in it. The brace height was WAYYYY low on the bow so I twisted it up a little, just enough to keep the fletches off of the rest. I might have done more but the string was about twisted up. This wasn't the right string for this bow as it turns out. Anyway not having any arrows there of my own I just picked up two that belonged to another friend he had left laying around there. After checking them out for problems and finding none I made the decision that they'd work for what I wanted to accomplish. I dropped the string twice in the indoor range. Nope! I didn't hit the X-ring but just outside it at 20 yards.I pulled the arrows and my next two shots were at the small 3D bobcat at 20 yds, both were in the 10 ring kill zone. I was impressed. I knew right then I was gonna invest in a bow from Maddog someday.
God bless,Mudd
