« on: May 03, 2012, 08:44:00 PM »

Very elegant....I really like the wood combo...I had one of his flatbows and in a moment of stupidity let it go...great shooting bows!

The osage was a total suprise, But i love it. This is the third Big river I own now. Johns not getting any younger so I had to order a custom.
