JT,

You might consider calling John Fazio and inquiring about either making you a Chaparrel or one of his longbows. He was the designer of the Kiabab and Alpine. His phone number is

505-772-5219.

The Chaparrel was at one time the best bow for the buck of any r/d longbow I`ve seen.I think at first they were under 4 bills.RC

Yep I had 3 of them.Two Kaibabs and an Alpine. Great bows for the buck. Bruce is retired from bow making.Poor Guy moved to New Mexico drew an Elk Tag and couldn't use it because he was too busy making bows. Listen to what heydeerman [Jim] says. OR put a WTB [Wanted To Buy] add up on the Trad Gang Classifieds.
