Parting with your first custom bow

The Time I part with my first custom bow is when I hand it to my child.  I ordered it with my Father next to my side. He liked it very much and ordered one just like it.  

I had John McDonald inscribe "Dad" on the limb.  I took my first archery deer with this bow this year!

Great story Charlie. We just got our twin Grandsons new longbows from St. Joe River Bows this Christmas but at some point they'll outgrow them and I've got two Widow MA's hanging on the wall that are both in that 46 pound range and the next two bows that go to the boys will probably be those two bows.

I foolishly sold my first custom bow many years ago and regretted it shortly after.  I was able to track it down and buy it back this year.  I hope that the next time that it doesn't belong to me, it belongs to my grandchild.
