Here you go Steve.  He goes by Highnooner Leatherworks,

I got his St. Judes quiver from last year, what a great piece of work.  Congrats Rafael, new bow, new quiver, our hunt in North Dakota in November will truly be icing on the cake.

yeah Steve, Bobby is an awesome person to deal with but it will take some time to get a pretty quiver like that done, but well worth the wait, one of the nicest persons to talk and deal with.                                                  And Bruce well if it wasn't for me seeing your quiver i wouldn't have one rite now! As for North Dakota, i cant wait!

Glad you like it Rafael! And that bow is a beauty! OH, and now I know what those initials mean that I put on the arm-guard!  ;)

Word of Advice Do not visit John 's shop or shoot a Big River unless you have a couple hundred bucks lying around   :banghead:  

If I could afford it I would have 20 of his bows   :banghead:  had to stop going to the shop.  I know what you mean by kid in the candy store.

Nice pics guys!  I would match John's bows up to anything for shootability!

Thanks for turning me on to him Joe!
Relax,

You'll live longer!

That's cool the way those tips were built up...great craftmanship and artistry!

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

I shot Charlies Big River and it is impressive,smooth and quick and not very loud either. The craftsmanship is excellent!!!!!

John's version of the Howard Hill style bow is about as good as it gets for my taste.

I shot this bow last night, it`s a dandy. I think John`s bows have actually gotten better. I hope I can just make it to my 80`s, let alone make beautiful bows! The quiver is really cool too.
