Brian has a new filly in the stable (pics)
« on: September 03, 2010, 08:30:00 PM »
I wanted to share some pics of my new bow… some of you know how excited I have been to get this little filly since ordering it at the Compton Rendezvous.  Take about great turn-around time.  I wasn’t expecting it to arrive until mid to late hunting season.

She is a Mariah from Wild Horse Creek Bows made by Mike Dunaway.  It is a 54” recurve 52#@28”.  Her riser is Brazilian and Bolivian Rosewood.  Limbs are Hard Maple with Yew lams.  Tips are Black Micarta, Bolivian and Brazilian Rosewood.  She is also wearing a brown beavertail grip.

She is light weight, sexy and sleek.  Even w/o tuning arrows to her she is grouping ‘em right tightly.

Mike also goes a bit beyond the call by providing a custom footed arrow with his bows made of the same wood as the bow’s riser.  Nice touch !

Hope you enjoy the pics!

I really like the looks of that bow, and I am normally a diehard longbow guy.  You are right the arrow is a very nice touch!  I love the yew on that thing.

Brian she's beautiful. I love the veneers.

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

Gorgeous looking bow.

Pretty short at 54" - perfect for a stand or blind or getting through the scrub.
Being so short what is the finger pinch like?

Thanks guys.

Andrew - I am feeling a bit more pressure on my bottom finger than my longer bows but nothing like my '66 kodiak magnum.

I am thinking about one of Mike's longbows with the same woods to make a matched pair as a christmas present to myself.

My wife is wondering why I always buy myself a bow for christmas and she get more cooking appliances.  I tell her, because I work up an appetite shooting all them bows I bought.  :biglaugh:

Thanks for the kind words, Brian.  I am glad your know bow met your expectations.  Give me a call when you have a chance and let me know how it is shooting for you and share some stories from your bear hunt.
