I haven't seen Bob in a couple years now. I should stop in and see him. His shop was the only one I've ever been in around here that could truly be called a "Pro Shop". He was the real deal. If you had a question, he knew the answer. Didn't much matter what type of archery, he usually had what you needed.
I know what you mean about knowing what you know now. Bob offered me a couple hundred 50/55 cedars for $100 when he was preparing to sell. Old stock cedars, dark, rich, tight grained beauties. Too light a spine for me so I passed on them. Just plain stupid!
