Inside was a very nicely written letter from someone I had made a trade with a few weeks back along with something that Blew my Mind!!
Let me get back to how I met this individual,
He wanted a bow I had. I liked the bow but wasn't ready to part with it. To me the bow was nothing special. It looked nice and I shot it well and I wanted a bear Grizzly from the 60's to shoot. This one was it.
It was a 67 Grizzly. 50 lbs at 28. It had a beautiful hunk of wood and brown glass. It was in all original condition and had some stressing, but not bad.
I had spoke with Him on several occasions and turns out he and I are very similar. I felt a connection early on in our dealings and decided to make the trade, more so because I knew in my heart he should have the bow more than I deserved it. It belonged in his hands.
We traded and I feel I came out better with the trade (as all good trades should be ) I received something that I was very happy with and I know he received a bow that He wanted as it was made during a special year in his life.
This brings me back to this package.
Kenny AKA "Cookus" is not only a man of his word but he is a Father and a true craftsman.
I will hang your gift with pride and look at it in my man cave with gratitude for the remainder of my life.
