I look at this bow and wonder how I built it. Believe it or not a museum bought it.

bctgrad, love the first pic of your beautiful Kodiak. That would make a great cover shot shot for TBM! An awesome bow like that lying among all that wool just gives a fella a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

My friend Jason Wesbrock took this photo of me on an elk hunt several years ago. I have always thought it brought out the beauty of my Howard Gamemaster.

One of these.......in any weight!  48 years old and counting.  Fred's magic....and that old Brazilian Rosewood is not too hard on the eyes either!

Then again.....Mr. Dale Dye certainly has the ability to work magic into wood...........

I really love some of the newer custom bows, but time and again, my thoughts and heart take me back to my youth.....the bows from that era had serious mojo....and still do!
