John sure makes some beautiful and nice shooting bows. I just might have to have him make one for me. Too many bows????
Nice pick up.

Bob that is what you said about that Bob Lee that I sold you a couple years ago. That is what you said about that Talon Longbow you traded me(I piped a 2216 with that bow)That is what you said.......   :jumper:

Looks shouldn't have nothing to do with it. You said...........you said the Bob Lee was the best shooting bow you ever owned and 6 hours later is was posted for sale. You know that pipe job was luck. You have to hit just the right molecule on the tip of that arrow to pipe. First one in 30 years........its all luck you know.

John, makes a great bow the 59's of his, are great shooters but all of his bows are great shooters.

Joe, I was just handeling one that could be a twin to yours and I did not buy it. What was I thinking.

Very nice looking bow; I have always liked the lines in the early bows and the way they shoot.

My BR bow is awesome, had it out stumping today and love it more each time I shoot it.  My dad just picked his up yesterday got it just in time.

John was making some carbon foam limbs when my dad was out there.

Earl, Nice bear!

Ummmm Charlie, what are you talking about brother?? I sure don't want to hear that!

Never mind what I said earlier.  If you want a Big River order one!  Give John a call!

His Bows are awesome!!!  :notworthy:

Glad to hear it was misinformation from the origination.   I agree, It would be nice to have him around, who else am I going to get my second, third, fourth, and fifth Big River longbows from   :goldtooth:   ?

I just met John in November and he's been a huge inspiration.
