Hunting? For his grandson? For the memories?

Maybe he wants to drop down a little in bow weight for next season.

Got his hands on some HGH!!        No seriously maybe its gonna be a handed down to someone.  Or maybe that bow has some serious history behind it.  Joe

Perhaps Mr. St.Charles is looking for a little more speed, kinetic energy, and momentum than his 70# bow is capable of generating.

I'm guessing that bow is very special to him...or has one heck of a story behind it!

Best of luck on the restore, and congrats on the grandbaby!!!

My guess is; You will finish it, he will look it over and tell you what a great job.  Then sign it and hand it back to you.  Then tell you to hand it on down to your Grandkids.

maybe he's going to autograph it and put it in the St Judes auction?

I was thinking he was thinking on sneeking up to the Delta once more........bowdoc

Brewmeister, I'm thinking cause the two of you have been so close over the years that's he just trying to help you out...be it the work (as if you needed more) or passing something on that you can help make even more special...the other Doc

I suspect the 85#'r he's been shooting lately is becoming a bit too much and therefore he thought he'd drop down a weight or two.

"No not the new grandson weighing over 10 pounds,not at all".

Hello?  A 10+ pound grandson!  I hope mom is doing OK!  That's Pope & Young!

Do the bow, and I'm sure you will do one of your fantastic jobs.  It may be for a great fund raising project.

Good luck.

Bowdoc, he obviously values this bow very much. He also values your skill in restoration!
Congratulations on the new born! We were blessed with our first recently and are having so much fun watching him as he changes and grows. He is 6wks old and still isn't 10lbs!

Congrats all the way around Doc! Glenn is one heck of a fine dude & I'm sure he has plans for that bow.

Where is he going to go with a 71# bow at the age of 96?

Heck, anywhere he wants to!    

Well if he did it just to 'mess' with your mind; he did a great job of it  

No problem I can clear this all up. When finished and after he has signed it. It is suppose to be shipped to my work address    PM for my address to forward it to    


And congrats on a keeper!!!!!!!

Got the PM with the work addie OK hormoan and Glenn said for me to go ahead and ship the bow out to you if I wanted....He also was wondering if you had my room ready,he said something to the affect of... I will most likely not be able to return to Seattle once we do this....talk soon bowdoc

 Less rain here, more snow though  :D
