7 years today
« on: January 26, 2013, 11:45:00 AM »
Maddog Traditional Archery LLC started today 26 Jan 2006, so today marks 7 years of being in the bowyering business for me.  Lots of learning, lots of ups and downs, feast and famine.  Thanks to those that buy bows from me, and those that promote my work and put out the good word.  You'll are very encouraging.  Although I don't have much time to hunt, I do have plenty of time to make bows which is just about as good to me.

Although material costs, frieght costs, and the general costs of living is increasing, I've still not raise the price of the youth model pup bows since I started.  I have, however increased the cost of the 54" Kaliska recurve this year to try and keep up.  I've also started using BCY Dyna flight 10 (now called force 10) strings on all my bows ordered in 2013 and all bows including the pup models are capable of using such materials.  Several customer and numerous posts here on the tradgang have persuaded me in that direction.  Continuous growth requires continuous improvment.

I look forward to many more years.  Thanks for your support.

My kids and I thank you!  Two of your bows are getting a serious workout at my house.  My oldest daughter shoots daily and it's getting to the point where I have to really try hard to stay ahead on the friendly wagers we have!

Thanks again for what you are doing!

Mike, thank you for an outstanding product at a fair price. I can't wait to see Parker's face in Feb when he gets his pup. I look forward to doing more business with you in the future and hope the next seven years are just as good for you. Congrats!

I have admired your youth bow prices for a while, and alwys send students parents who are lookiing for a Christmas present to your site.  Thanks for keeping the price so affordable to start young people off right!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Mike - Best of luck to you in the future.

Here's one of your pups in action.  You glued me up a pup blank a couple summers ago with a pink action wood riser and white glass and my daughter, Gracie, and I finished it.

 

Little brother Jonathan also likes to shoot it and is man enough to shoot a pink bow   ;)

Congratulations Mike, from personal experience, running your own small business ain't easy.

Your commitment to building quality products - and especially the bows you build and get into kids hands does not go unnoticed!

Thank you.
