today marks ten years

Congratulations Mike.    
I passed on the youth bow that my daughter won a few years back but I'm still shooting the "Plain and Simple" longbow that you made for me.
Heck, I even used it to win a medal at the Sunflower Games last summer.

Yes Paul I remember that one.  I lost track of time shooting that bow once I got a sting made for it, I hadn't even sanded it down yet, but it shot so nice I couldn't put it down.

Congratulations, Mike.

I have one of your plain models and it shoots great.

I would like to order a fancier one some day.

Ten years and starting to run-around with a Pearson.

For sure, I appreciate lots of other bows.  I like my own that I build as well, but still like shooting the old classic ones.  In fact on my bow rack, I have 3 self bows, (I got through the annual bow swap on the bowyers bench) I have a Shakespeare Naceda, a Shakespeare Parabow, The Ben Pearson, Two fiberglass recurve sticks I used as a kid, and two longbows I made a longtime ago. Lot's a of good bowyers out there, professional and hobbyists alike, that make excellent shooting bows.
