Dan, I had built this bow back in 2006, it was probably bow number 20, if that. This specific bow was the bow I had hunted with in 2006, and had already shot several deer with it, but one day I was hunting, and dropped it out of the treestand I was in, and the insert actually popped out of the side of the riser. I had a two piece quiver on it at the time and when it landed on the quiver from 20 feet above it did some damage, imagine that. Anyway, I gave this bow away for free to a fellow trad gang guy,(not going to mention any names), w/the condition that he would never sell it. Well, needless to say, he sold it, even after he gave his word that he wouldn't pass this bow into anybody else's possession. I was afraid that due to the damage it suffered in the fall that it would continue to break in some way. I guess I shouldn't have tried to help somebody out and just trashed the bow as my first instinct and gut feeling said to do. Even that early in my career as a bowyer, I did not want a bow w/my name linked to it on the market, that was DAMAGED or FAULTY in any way. I've now fixed it to the best of my ability, even after trying to get Dan to trash it and let me build him another(even though the bows faults were not in the construction). Dan, hopefully you'll enjoy the bow until your ready for a new "Lost Creek". Thanks everyone for your time and all your good sentiments.... Chad
