Thank you Jim! I am happy with how it turned out.

66" and now 48@28.

God bless,Mudd

PS: a considerable few saw this bow before. I intentionally left off the make just to see if anyone recognized it now.

Black Widow is correct.

Big Jim did an amazing job, both in the dipping and the weight reduction.

Thank you again Jim!

God bless,Mudd

Roy That is a Hill Bow for sure!  I dont know but I'm going off what you told me you were sticking to form now on   :readit:      :knothead:

OK Charlie I'm caught but in all honesty this one and the Don Dow I have coming were done deals before I made such a rash statement.

If I'm allowed I'll call on my feminine side to say I've may need to make some exceptions...lol

I am/ was having a hard time putting all of my "non-hill" style bows up but maybe over time I'll get myself all straightened out.

It's still a goal but so is eating an elephant and I'd hate to have to eat the whole thing at one sitting..lol

God bless,Mudd

Mudd,
Now you can leave Big Jim alone for a while so he can make MY bow!

Hey, Mudd, you're in good company with Denny Sturgis, Jr., for committing crimes against beautiful Black Widow longbows with paint! Good shooting, mate!

Hey, I want to eat an elephant, too! Good goal, that!

Hey Mudd, I would have a hard time getting rid of that bow too, so dont feel bad.  Sometimes its hard to say good bye and easier to say good Buy!

That Clear Creek you had for sale was a beauty, I'm surprised it made it to the trading blanket.

Anyone is welcome to come dig as many starts of my Japanese arrow bamboo as they can haul.

I will not dig it for anyone!!!!!!! My back is reserved for bowhunting...lol
