Does anyone know about these? there isn't a website that i can find. I see that Jim Welch is located just south of me. thanks, Dan.
Is their insignia a seven finger leaf? j/k
But seriously I never heard of them. All I could find is this. Good luck. Might have to snail mail it.

You might want to contact Lamont at the Footed Shaft in Rochester for some info. I remember back in the mid 90's the first time I went to Lamonts shop Jim had just left him a couple of osage logs to sell so I know they done some business together. Maybe he knows if he's still around, I havent heard mention of him for a long time now.
Jim used to have an ad in Traditional Bowhunter back in the 90s. He also used to conduct bow making schools (along with Jim Hamm) in Texas and at his place in Minnesota. Haven't talked to Jim in years. But if he's still making bows--and last I heard , he was--you better get one while you still can. He makes awesome osage "character" bows and is a heck of a character himself.
