No I think it's some kind of "Award"...Yeah it's an Award...
I see I am not the only one that watch's Christmas story and know all the lines...   :biglaugh:

I bet it's one them "Bama" Longbows in there...
They are one of the only bowyers that seem to package a bow that nice in a wooden box....Maybe a Vintage works would be my second guess?
Anyway I cann't wait and isn't it funny how all us men seem to gather at the window like in the "Christmas story" movie to see what our neighbor just got in the "FRAGILE" box?
Exciting stuff isn't it...  :archer:

A Christmas story is one of my favorite holiday movies
That was some funny stuff there guys!
Thanks for the interest.
She really is a beauty and she shoots really well even though she has not been tuned yet
Light in hand, stable feeling, no hand shock that I notice and she zips an arrow!
Can't wait to get her tuned and ready to go
It is gonna be fun putting some arrows through her
Nate Steele really does a great job and he is very easy to work with.
I do recommend his work

Damn....no fishnet stockings!!    I guess you could always add them.  

Nice bow!!  Beautiful.  I picked up a bow from Nate last year and actually met him, his wife and their child. Great people!!  Beautiful family!!   Really glad to see that his bows are doing so well.

Wow Doug what did you have to do to Win an "Award" like that?
I'm loving those limb tips and the way they just melt into the limbs there...
I've commented before on how well he packages his bows and that just shows if he takes the time to build a box like that then he surely must take pride in his work being a bowyer...I've been admiring his bows for the last few years and thank you for sharing your bow with us all Doug!
Now Doug whatever you do never go into the basement and curse your furnace when the wife is around !   :rolleyes:
