Well, his book anyway :D . My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary this weekend up in Traverse City, Michigan, and I was able to read Charlie's book cover to cover. I guess that means either we're getting old (that I had that much free time :eek: ) or Charlie's book was that good. Maybe a little of both.
Also, while we were out to dinner last night I got a call from Allen Boice at Liberty Bows. I had placed an order for a Contender on or about December 18th, and he was calling to let me know he was about to apply finish! 66" 52@28, DARK myrtle riser and limbs with bamboo cores. Can't wait to see it!
Of course, I then had to explain to my wife that the call I took during dinner was very important...I had ordered another bow..."oooh, I didn't tell you?" That cost me a stop to the jewelry store on the way back to the parking ramp :readit: .
All in all, we had a great weekend, but I missed my kids......and my bows.
be sure and post pics of that Contender, great bows.
Congrats on both accounts. Allen builds a dandy bow, as I have 2!
:saywhat:
Sorry Charlie, couldn't resist ;) . I thoroughly enjoyed the book...thank you for taking the time to put it together. It's a volume I'll pass on to my kids.
Yeah...I HAD to open this one... with a title like that....whooie.
Andrew.... I'm ready to have Charlie guide me on a Giant Jack Rabbit hunt...how about you???
I burst out laughing when I hit the end of that chapter!
Doc, that Giant Jack Rabbit chapter was VERY well written. I think Charlie could write a whole book of those yarns. I really enjoyed his openness, whether it be sharing his joys, his misgivings or fears, and even his misses and occasional dejection....made for a great portrait of the man.
