Title: Anybody shooting a Treadway Black Swamp?
Post by: Bob Abeln on July 03, 2017, 03:50:00 PM
Hi all, have a 62" 45# Black Swamp coming this week. Wondering what the brace height should be at approximate? Also how do you like them as far as smoothness, quietness, etc? Thanks, Bob

I have a 60" 42# @ 28" I run the brace at about 8 3/8 - 8 1/2. I draw it to 29"......smooth and quick with yarn string puffs and a 600 gr arrow almost silent. Your going to like it.

Bunch of folks in our club shoot the Treadway bows. I have never heard a single bad thing said about Mike's bows.

They shoot awesome, good as any Centaur.  Quite fast and as quiet as you could want.  Craftsmanship is in the top echelon and Mike has an eye for good wood.  I had a 62" and recall it shot well around 7 3/4.

Fantastic bows, excellent guy to work with, honest to a fault.  I love my Black Forest.

You will love your Treadway! One of the best bowyers in the business...and he makes a mighty fine bow!

Mike is an excellent bowyer. Been around a long time, sweet shooting bows. Never heard a grumble about his bows. Keepers!

It's here and i'm a happy camper. Shoots very nice. Real smooth, quick and quiet. Love the grip. Brace is at 7&3/4" and my Elite woods fly like darts out of it. Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
