I don't have a problem with a guy building a few bows to promote himself. The fact that he's got a 3 year wait isn't because he builds a handful of bows for shows. It's because he builds a desirable bow. in order to get a bow built to your specs it takes 3 years... I can live with that.

three years wait is crazy, lets say for arguments sake he is fulfilling 5 custom orders per month, a nice figure.  He has over 180 orders to fulfill infront of yours! lol

I think the three year wait is if you want one a certain way, like any other custom bow.  If you have the opportunity to go to shows and he has something you like, that's great too.

I don't think he is building bows for a living.  It's also surprising and a little depressing how fast three years can go by...

I think some bowers miss weight and then use that bow for a stock or show bow.

John doesn't build bows for a living and he doesn't take deposits and makes no promises as to delivery. It is what it is with John. Can't fault him for that!

When you handle a Griffin for the 1st time you will understand why the wait is worth it. Theyre not the bows for a guy who is starting out and doesnt already have 1 or 2 in the stable.  These are for people who know what they want and are willing to wait on perfection.

If you have to have a Griffin and dont want to wait, buy Used.  If you cannot accept buying used and dont want to wait, go cry to someone else.

I agree with Izzy, If you know this is the bow for you..... wait.  

If you are not a patient person who's problem is that?    :confused:   Certainly not The Bowyers. It sounds to me like he is in a good place!  You dont get there by cheating people and building a crappy product.  To me the wait would be worth its weight in gold.

I sure would like to see the 59'er of yours Ken, hope we can meet one of these days.  I encourage you to come to the stump shoot that is held at Rockwood forest. If you miss it, there are plenty of other events, hopefully we will cross paths.
Relax,

You'll live longer!
