Kenai Connection!!!!

[alaskabowhunter]

Here is my first longbow made for me by Ethan of Okeena Longbows in Newbern, TN. He made the matching  hunting knife to go with it as well. Ethan and I met  last fall when he was in Alaska for a blacktail deer hunt. We ended up going fishing together for a day down on the Kenai River in Soldotna for silver salmon and had a blast. He named the bow "Kenai Connection" to remember that day. At 53# draw weight I hope to hunt black bear with it this spring down around Seward. It is really a beautiful bow with osage orange and coco-bolo making up the handle and Northern Catalpa in the limbs. It shoots very smooth! The knife will be used to dress out whatever game I harvest with this bow for sure! Thanks again Ethan, you are a gentleman and a true craftsman, my hat is off to you! (He is on the left in our fishing pic)

I live in Dyer co. That's north west, in fact the western county line is the Mississippi, then Missouri.  Where exactly is Springfield?  And when you get here we have a brand new state trad assosiation.  T.T.A.S.  It looks to be off to a great start with some great folks.  Looke me up when you get back.
