Title: Bill Price Longbows
Post by: Rick Wiltshire on December 20, 2011, 05:02:00 PM

I know that Bill is deceased.

Those of you who know about his bows - what can you let the rest of us know?

Thanks,

Rick

Rick,
There is a really nice one @ rmsgear.com

May be your your specs too  :)

I have always heard they were shooters but I have never had the chance to shoot one either.

I have one of Bills bows. Bill made a one piece, a take down and self bows.after the sun went down Bill would sit around the camp fire and sing and take about the good old days. He was one of the good guys.

    His bows where top notch for sure, I knew people who would buy one of his bows every year.
    Bill and I would set up or boths next to each other at shoots....
    I have one of his CD's, every now and again I'll play it....
    Bill was a Great story teller ,singer of old folk songs....And a good cook also, I had some of his Caribu once...
