He makes some great bows for the money! He lives about an hour from me. I just bought one of his forward grip longbows a couple weeks ago. ITs a sweet shooting bow. Great lines of a hybrid. It's got a great wood combination too! Yew lams, Bolivian rosewood and black phenolic grip. Al is a great guy. I spent a couple hours talking to him and shooting his bows. He has plenty of knowledge and loved to share. He isn't much for a computer guy, so his website doesn't have near the information as he has available if you just give him a call. 503-816-6614, let me know if I can give you more info,
