WOW ! You know i always tryed to tell my ex-wife that it isn't all the material wealth you gather in life but the people who surround you with friendship and love. She never listened, but who would expect it coming from a family who worshipped money. In the last year I have lost everything I spent the last twenty years working for. But one thing people can never take from us is the friends, brothers and sisters we gain. Only we can make them disappear with how we treat them. And believe me guys and gals!! You need them in life. This site has some of the best people that will ever walk the earth and i believe it is because they all are traditional in spirit. The elk risor bow you all seen on a early post is more than just a elk risor and bacote limbs. It is a brotherhood. Voodoofire and Jeff Dorris made one of the nicest bows I have ever had the pleasure to shoot and own. That gift caused this ole fart three hours of crying, knowing that all the evil in the world can be erased by the love of a gift from friends. I have been blessed many times by members of this site. This morning I shot ELK MOJO and I have never shot a bow so smooth (smoother than my old Pronghorn 3pc) No offense Herb! And it flat out smokes a arrow so fast I can't even watch it go down range. Unless i shoot 50 yards. All I have to do is pick the spot and it does all the rest. I am completely blown away. I want to thank you guys so much for always being there for me and pulling me back from the edge. You are good men and brothers. And for a loss of words now all i can say is THANK YOU very much!!
Vic glad you liked it and more than that glad it picked your sprits up . if you ever get down in sprits again just go look at that bow and remember theres someone out here in IN and KY thats care about you like you were blood . I dont want you to go no where near the edge anymore . now you gotta shoot a elk with that ol bow in 4 weeks start practiceing . :thumbsup:
vic asked me to post these pic for him so here we go .

Could'nt be a better bunch, Kudos to you both Steve and Jeff and Vic you deserve it brother!<><
Nicely said Vic. Congrats.
(Ps still look at my arrowhead everytime I drive my truck. Just got back from Mojam nearly 20 hours of driving time to and fro so I got to look at it a lot ha ha)
I saw that bow and told everyone who would listen about it. I think that is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I surley would treasure that and the fine friends that made it for a lifetime.
I wish I was Vic,,, no wife, cabin on the river, nice bow, good friends all over the country. Who would not want to step in to Vic's shoe's?
Keep your chin up Vic,,, unless your drawing down on an elk with that dang, dang, dang,, nice bow.

Very happy for everyone involved.A real spirit lifter.
I have been lurking in the shadows here for some time checking things out. I recently became a member and started posting, the reason being I bore witness to great men and great deeds like these. You all truly impress me and I am humbled by your company. I truly look forward to meeting some of you along the trail.

Thanks a bunch guys for the congrads!!! At times i thought my journey over but after this last week and all you great fellows on here it's just beginning!! guess I aint the only one with a ugly tongue HEHE LOL I do enjoy it and will enjoy it and that sweetie went to bed with me last night. Since i can't find a women who loves the outdoors as much as me. One thing I like about it is she doesn't mind if we spend to much time on the range!!!
