I made that bow, well that one was actually me helping the bowyer who taught me as I learned. Its the first one I ever worked on. I do not sell them, never did and actually will probably never have the time to make anymore. I made 5 of them and Frank and Shell each have one, they were gifts to good friends.

I once shot with a guy who had a bow that looked like the one Lewis made.  It was a Sky long bow by Hoyt.  It was a three piece take down with the riser up front.  I do not think they make it any more but it was a sweet shooter.

The fifth one was given to a local guy here. It was a little differnent though. Not as much deflex in the riser. And you are the only one that has static tip limbs. Gene made those limbs as a prototype a long time ago. I have two pair that Gene glued up and shaped a long time ago but never finished that I need to finish for my riser
