For All You Wild Horse Creek Fans!!!!
« on: October 18, 2012, 06:58:00 PM »
This is for all you WHC fans.  Just picked it up today to make 3 on my rack.  

58" Kestrel 47# @ 27".  Riser is cocobolo with beaver tail grip.  Limbs are curly koa (his first bow using the koa, I think) over bamboo cores.  Can't wait to get out and shoot it!!!!  

Thanks again to Mike for building a great bow.  He is truly a gentleman and craftsman.

........and now for what you've been waiting for:

His craftsmanship is so good.  Last year at the ubm 2 of us looked for over a hour at his 15 or so bows he had there and could not find even the smallest of flaw.  Awesome bow

Brian, hope you don't mind if I piggyback your thread.  Just received my Wild Horse Creek Vision from Mike, 66" 52@28 mild R/D longbow.  Leopardwood riser, Tamo ash limbs with coffee stain.  Mike really went out of his way, both to get the perfect bow in my hands and to shape the grip to some specs we worked out from half a country away.  Here are a couple pics from her drizzly maiden voyage into the woods today.  Doesn't that coffee stained Tamo look like skins?

 

 

Almost immediately this Vision became my go-to hunting bow.  Smooth, thumps an arrow, and absolutely fits me like a glove.  It just feels "right" and shoots lights out!!  I normally eschew bow quivers on my longbows, but on this Vision a 4-arrow EFA quiver works wonderfully.

I can't say enough about how great it was to work with Mike.  Some of you may remember that earlier this summer I had ordered a 58" Kestrel from him, but by the time it got here I had developed a love affair with LONG mild R/D longbows.  Mike offered to replace the Kestrel with a custom Vision, and I was floored.  Mike went way above and beyond, and he's got a customer for life here in Michigan.
