Good quality bows, shoot very nicely, very reasonably priced and made by a solid and honest fellow. Two thumbs up in my book.

^^^what he said. Mike made a youth bow for my son years ago. He was very helpful in helping decide the specs that best suit him. I have since owned one his longbows, and it shot just fine. And he's a veteran to boot.

Second the two thumbs up. Won a bow he had in the St. Jude auction.  Love it I don't have a large bow budget but after falling in love with Holley.(what I named the bow I won) Once I'm in the market for a new bow I'll just get a bit more custom wood and glass(color wise) combo bow from Mike.  He answered all my questions and had great shipping with the bow arriving safely packaged.

Mike builds a great shooting reasonably priced bow...and even better than that he's one of the nicest guys to work with you will ever run across, and he stands behind his bows!!

I got his Hill style bow and 4 kids bows for my children in October. They are nearly flawless, exactly what I asked for, reasonably priced and nice bows. Mine became my "go to" for the remainder of the season.

Mike stayed in contact with me throughout the process and the turn around time was quick.

I got a bow from Mike and love it! It shoots great  and he really pays attention to details. He was great to deal with and spent a lot of time talking to me about the bow. If I'm in the market for a new bow I''ll definitely be giving him a call again. His turn around time is quick too.  :clapper:

Have a Prairie Predator 'tis a fine bow.  Mine is simple osage with black glass.  I really  like it.  Quality craftmanship at a very good price.

hard to go wrong with one,  I have the prairie predator model, which i find to be a great hunting rig,  light weight, point-able, and really spits an arrow.

I just received 3 pups a couple weeks ago. Each one of my kids got one for Christmas. Very nice bows. Craftsmanship is great.

I'm not wanting to hijack Porkchop's thread here, but I deeply appreciate all the kind compliments given by some of my customers here, other customers compliment at other places on the web, and I appreciate them too.  It's them sharing that allows me to keep my advertising cost down, one less thing to produce and concern myself with.  It's been a good year, I sent out roughly 128 bows, enough to keep me busy but not overwhelmed, just how I like it.  Thanks for promoting my work.  Happy 2019 to you all.

I appreciate the input as well.  I've never bought a new bow so to have this input on quality, shoot ability, and customer service is really helpful.  I'll be talking with you later in the spring.

cool, but I'll be taking a break from building bows from about 1 may to mid July this year, to spend time with Family in Idaho.

Enjoy you time with family.  I'll touch base in August.
