Thanks for the pictures, dimensions, and great review Bud.  One of these Carolina Night's may very well be in my future.     :thumbsup:

Arrows were bought off the classifieds here. They were made by All Wood Arrows in Tennessee.

The bow's a great little slim shooter  ;)

Dang nice bow and great review.

I too was impressed with Mike when he built my sons bow. Even though it was the cheapest bow in his line up he took the time take my input.  And while cutting the riser he found a small knot that he didn't like so he built a whole new bow.

Very nice Bud!  Mike builds a great bow and that one is exceptional....AND the shelf is on the correct/right side of the bow.     :thumbsup:  

I know you will enjoy shooting this one and you are right...it's hard to beat Mike's guarantee!

Bud,that's a beauty! I really like that slimmed down design. I wish work would pick up here,there are a few bows I want to try and one of Mike's is at the top of the list. He built a kid's bow for my daughter and I was really impressd with the workmanship on it and the amount of time he spent with me making sure it came out just right for her.He even put a cool pink metal flake finish on the limbs for her.I just looked at my bow rack for a victim to send to the classifieds!   :D

If that problem gets too bad, Bud, send her to me for a while and I'll teach her how to shoot much larger groups and thus save your arrow supply.   :D   Anything to help a fellow TG'er.

Bringing this back up for a Tradgang sponsor that really does not advertise. Mike is excellent to work with and customer service and satisfaction are his goals. Word of mouth is his best advertiser and I certainly want to give him what he is due.

Thank you Mike.


BTW, I showed the bow to my father, who is 75 and recovering from his third back surgery, and he loved it. He has an old Ben Pearson string follow all wood Hill style bow from the early 50s that he bought when he was around 15 or so. I could see memories in his eye as he gleaned over Mike's work. I should really look into getting Dad one.

Wow, what a bow! I like the looks of the strung profile and the use of osage in the handle and tips. Mike is one of the underrated bowyers out there. I have had 2 u-finish longbows from him. Very satisfied.

Is there some place where I can learn to post pictures.  My 7 Lakes, Carolina Night that Mike finished is the only bow I have that isn't for sale.  I love this bow.
