Those are pretty nice Bows you got available - but I think I'll keep the two you just sent me this week.  They arrived today safe and sound - prettiest Bows I think I've ever seen, and smooth as silk.

Thanks Big Jim!

Coaster, your first bow missed weight so I stopped and put it on the missed weight rack. Am already working on the next one. Might be even better.

SlowArrow, you might have to change your tradgang name to fast arrow now that  you have those new bows. Glad you like them.

thanks, bigjim

I'm looking real hard at the 68"er. That should work well with a 31" draw, right?

Hey looper,

I have the exact same bow except left handed.  I have a 32" draw and it works great for me.  We still need to get together and shoot some arrows.

I think bows are one of the hardest things around to photograph well.  I don't think I did these great bows justice......but you can see the art that Big Jim pours into his work.

BTW - they shoot as good as they look - but you all know that already.
