If it was 5# lighter you would have never got a chance to get it Joe........   :wavey:   I would have let you shoot it to!

Joe:

I ended up selling it back to the original owner. It was/is a very nice bow. Maybe a little short for my 32" draw but not bad.

Frankly, the original owner was the only person to express and interest in purchasing the bow.

I guess John just isn't a bowyer that is in vogue enough to generate much interest in his work.

I think I still like John's 59 Kodiak copy the best of any of his recurves.

I like his longbows best of all!

Jay, I would have bought he bow if I didn't have a wall full of them and had money.

I love his long bow as well but have yet to try a 59 replica.

Joe, that's what you get for going hunting.   :readit:
Relax,
