Can those of you that shoot a WHC longbow please post a pic of your bow. I'm particularly interested in the Kestrel. Thanks.
Always liked the looks of them and feel like I'd be able to shoot it well. I'm curious of people's responses although I've never shot one nor intend to buy one at the moment
Hey Fred :wavey:
:dunno: i cant believe that nobody on here shoots one of Mike's bows.
I have a Kestral. Light in the hand and shoots great. Mike is a pleasure to do business with.
I have about 9 of Mike's bows. Great workmanship and they shoot great. Mike is great to work with.

This is my Kestrel. Cocobolo and Osage. 54#@28".
I Have a Hawk, Kestrel, and a Destiny that Mike made. They are all great bows that shoot the draw great and hit where I am looking and are all great looking bows. As said above Mike is very good to work with. Mike has donated a bow every year to the Kansas Bowhunters which says a lot about his love of bow building and bowhunting. When I feel I need one more bow it will be a Wild Horse Creek!
I have had a handful. Excellent shooters, and amazing craftsmanship. Excellent gentleman as well.
I only have one of Mike's bows. It is a Hawk and a great looking and smooth shooting bow.
Mike is a Craftsman in the classic sense and a great guy.
Contacted Mike about basic questions I had for a future bow, (way down the road) and he was very accommodating. Made recommendations about what would be best for my requirements.
Mike sent me an email with pics and info about his bows. I need to give him a call.
My wife & I both have a Mariah & Kestrel. Love them. Mike is in a class by himself as a bowyer and as someone you want to know as a friend.
I have been shooting Wild Horse Creek Bows for about 4 years now,mine is whisper quiet and likes a heavy arrow,love it when I run a 2 blade Delta through a deer and they flinch and look around trying to figure out what just happened.I am partial to the Destiny which is the most forgiving and easy to shoot bow I have ever owned.

Does he have a website? If no, how do I contact him to get a catalogue? Thank you.
Mike doesn't have a website. Here's his phone number 785-597-2290
Thank you.
My best half had a Kestrel made for me , for our 25th anniversary. It looks good, shoots better than me, and is a hard hitter, 62# @ 28".
I have upwards of 35 stick bows, it's gonna be my go to bow this year. I am chomping at the bit for spring bear ! Send a pm with your number and I'd be glad to text you some pictures. MT STEVE
I just got my 2nd Destiny yesterday. Superb bow. Mike does such an excellent job. My Destiny I got last fall is the quietest bow I've ever had and it shoots right with my other longbows 4# heavier.
