I am so happy to have seen this. John is a great guy, I have known him for a long time.....his wife worked with mine about 20+ years ago....We had cabins in the same area for years. I have seen John at just about every traditional archery show (at least in Michigan)for years, and he always has his latest creation with him. His bow building has progressed from "pretty darn good" to "WOW" status in the span of those years.

I am so happy to see him succeeding in traditional archery.

p.s. JOHN, I showed this to Lori, she says tell Kelly HI!

Thanks for all the nice comments. It's great to see those from people that actually know John and are familiar with his work.

John is in the process of setting up an all new website. Part of our deal included a Trad Gang sponsorship, so that is already covered, and once his new website is up and running I'm sure he will be letting you all know about it.

In the meantime, the Bow Hospital page on the Prairie Traditions site has been updated with John's contact information, so you can get in touch with him through that, or send him a PM here. (jcrafferty - #14,998)
