Headed to Fedora's

[Dean Miller]

I am going to Mike Fedora's shop in PA for some trianing on how to make recurves.
Have any of you been to his shop for bow building training?

I thought about going years ago but, didn't think I could afford it.  I bet in the long run you will save money by getting further along the learning curve much faster and, with fewer failures.  Mike is certainly one of the masters and being able to pick his brain would be very valuable if not priceless. I envy you sir.

Does Mike run a traing course?

You are already making a nice smooth bow, I am sure its only going to get better.

Been to his shop couple times but did not take course. Great guy!  A friend of mine took the course aNs was very happy. Built a beautiful bow as well!

Was just there a couple weeks ago not for the bow building course but to put down a deposit on a new bow.
He has a great shop , custom presses  definitely knows his stuff.
I was very impressed with his work. His bows are truly custom no mass produced CNC bang em out bows. When you touch his bows you can feel the difference . Attention to detail that you can't get from mass production.  I am not one to beat a drum ,and I have nothing to gain for saying this .It's just the truth!
 Oh and he's quit a character to boot.  I am glad I made the decision  to go with him.  I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

He's a great friend of mine. Been to his home many times. You're in for an experience.  A journal entry!!

Mike will be doing a shooting seminarvat the PBS Gathering in Cinncinatti the last weekend of March.  Looking very much forward to it!

Mike is a very accomplished and well rounded archery professional-and not just building bows, he is a well respected coach and his students have won national and international titles; Mike has given lessons to Juan Carlos, King of Spain.

Spoke with on the phone once but its been years ago, always wanted to attend one of his classes, has to be money well spent for an archer.

Thanks for all the advice. Now I won't be able to sleep until I get there! I know I can learn a ton of info.
My only fear is that the weather here in So. Utah has been around 70 deg. last week. I may freeze to death in Philly.
