Well I met Mudd over the weekend and he set me up real well. He never met me before and yet I left his place Sat. with a real nice bamboo backed longbow made by W. Steffens at Mojam 2001 just for Mudd. Had a great time shootin it and then a better time watching my kids (both girly girls) after they hijacked it and wouldnt let go of it till dark - they had a lot of fun tearing up Mudd's arrows. Meanwhile the ***y purchase I made was less than steller but with a little polyurathane, a heat gun and a dremmel tool it's shootable and fun till it blows up. I brought Mudd's caneback bow to him today and he then proceeded to outshoot me lefthanded with that little old recurve I just spruced up (and I'm the lefty!). Practice.
