That might be a little heavy for Blacky, Dani might have to shoot it.   :bigsmyl:  Sure is purty Mike and Jason.

I will be looking for the article.  Cant wait to see the specs on her since I dont have a chrony.  She is only two pounds lighter than mine.  Great work Mike and Jason.

Looking good, Mike. I'll pick it up at Comptons. That way you can still show it around at the rendevous.

Blacky,

We'll pack it around as a show bow til Compton.  Looking forward to seeing you again.  Plan on having a brew with us on Friday night.  We are putting a Irish Honey Ale in the keg soon.

So, Mike,

You not only glue up bows, but brew up beer, as well?

How do you ever get out hunting!?!   :goldtooth:  

If you brew as good a beer as you make a bow, I am missing out on some fine beer!

Well we do make a good beer.  At least that's what the guys that drink it tell us.  LOL

Come to think of it, we don't get out hunting as much as we would like.
