Gorgeous arrows AND description.

Very nice arrows Mike and i, too, enjoy Scott's way with words...you are an "arrowsmith" and he is a "wordsmith"!

[JimB]

Very nice guys.

[RAU]

Nice arrows and i too get a kick out of his postings

Scott is a personal " friend " of mine. We get together at least weekly to shoot or talk about shooting. We rarely talk on the phone as he talks the way he writes!  When we text, I sometimes have to read it twice to understand.
He is indeed a fine gentleman and ambassador for traditional archery.

[Tsalt]

A wordsmith for sure and as some have already stated... nothing but positive coming from Friend!  

And wicked looking arrows... like none I've ever seen.

Perhaps we exist within a laboratory of cataclysmia, yet we live within the confines of our mind.

Within the refuge of the Trad Gang family, we escape the deluge and remain both comforted and guarded.  The freedom and peace we enjoy within this sanctuary is not without considerable disbursement.

The contribution of the many rises to the surface of the soothing waters and yields the traditional life giving air we breathe.

The charitable and gracious expressions are most thankfully acknowledged.  In depth unadulterated contemplation reveals such awarded expression as being deemed unworthy. Actually, I am somewhat embarrassed by the honorable expressions as I have typically strived to escape such visibility. This time I have decided to face this phobia and endeavor to both recognize and accept that we are all worthy.

Mike’s artistically and visibly gifted craft represents the traditional way in consummate display.  For me, it seems quite imperceptible to realize, nor conceive the view from the summit which is reserved for those who have scaled the master level of a craft and/or artistry.

Thank you and warmest regards,
Scott

I always love to see what Friend has to say. He is a fine member of our trad community.

In a tribute to Scott and his linguist prowess, I offer the following congratulatory statement: Scott's unique and eloquent diction, as most recently evidenced by his description of your beautifully crafted arrows, has eclipsed my expectations! Well done Friend & Mike. Beautifully written and excellent arrows!

Even on my best day, clearly I cannot compare to Steve's artful and beautiful writings!

[**DONOTDELETE**]

good stuff... and good looking arrows ta-boot!

Yep.  

Classic.

The guy needs his own section!

No kidding....I have searched for Scott's handle "Friend" often, just to see what he has written lately. While my writing style is way different than his, I admire his structure. Thank you Scott, you are truly someone I look forward to reading.

P.S...nice arrows Mikey!!  

[Stump73]

His handle says it all. Scott is fine fella that I'm proud to call my closest friend (next to my wife) and mentor. He is a great ambassador our sport. He is always willing to help somone no matter what is. He has the patience to teach other's especially when it come to kids. I wish I could use words the words the way he does. Maybe one day, but for now I will just have to use my hick words as my daughter says.
Mike, those arrows are beautifully crafted.
