Thanks!
Larry
Awesome!!! :thumbsup:
got the bow today and all I can say is WOW!, its shoots great
OK guys, lets get some pics of the kids at there new homes.
Mike
Mike,
I've been hankering for one of your Bushwacker bows for a few years now. They are truly a work of art and craftsmanship. Any time a local kid or adult has an interest in natural material bows I always send them to your site first. I tell them, "this is where the bar is currently set". It's usually a jaw dropping experience for them.
Thanks for your quick reply regarding the bamboo backing. You run a top notch operation!
David

ttt for some beautiful bows!
TTT. Haven't recieved it yet but will post an action shot here when it comes.
Tom,
Tracking says:
Your item left the United States from FOREIGN CENTERJERSEY CITY NJ 099 at 8:35 PM on February 9, 2009. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.
So we know it is on the way
Mike
Mike, cheers for that.
It can take up to 3 weeks for items to get here from the States so no worries there.
Once I got a huge parcel from Belgium in 4 days... weird.
Tom,
Well USPS says:

Any news?
Mike
Sweet Mike, not here yet, but our post doesn't operate on the weekend. I will have to wait till monday or Tuesday.
Mike--Don't hurry on mine--make it just as pretty as all of these.
Mike, how can I track this item? Didn't arrive yet and I'm getting antsy :) :)
Tom,
PM sent
Mike
Cheers for that.
