Maddog bow collecting

#1 Post by Captainkirk »

I know several of you fellers own one or more of the Maddog bows built by Mike McCredy and have nothing but praise for them. Let's see your Maddog (s), hear the story behind them, and what you think of them.

Jason, those look very slim and lithe. At 58" they are the same AMO length as a Grizzly.
Very nice bows!

Hey Jason, can you feel any difference between limb core materials? What do you think?
