I truly appreciate all the kind words and concern. I am fine. Just can't continue with the work load my business has developed into. When I started building arrows for others I never dreamed it would flourish into what it has become...heck, I was retired when I started this venture. haha  So, recently I just felt I was being drawn into spending all my time making arrows, which I love to do, leaving less time available for other things I need to attend to.

I guess I will have to be very careful with my remaining 10 arrows, no more squirrels for them. Good luck and enjoy a long second retirement.

Hey David, hate to hear that, but I can completely understand. Its a credit to you and your talents that the business grew to the point where it's not sustainable by a single person. Wishing you the best of luck moving forward!

I have loved seeing your arrows on the pics on these posts. Also have taken some animals with your arrows. Good luck in your future.

David, I think I owned 2 1/2 dozen of your arrows and was always very pleased with the looks and performance. If I needed any more you would have been the one to make them! Good luck on whatever path you take! Thanks Johnny

Best of luck to you. Very sad to see your business close though. The arrows I have from you are by far the best I have used. I used to swear when I broke one, now I may cry! hopefully one will go through another turkey this spring, thanks very much for that.

David, I am so sorry to hear that. I love your arrows and they are one of my prized possessions archery wise.
I was just waithing til after Christmas Day to order another two sets from you for my daughter and my son. His house was broken into and they stole all his bows and arrows. Left the guns ect.but took his bows and the set of arrows you made Last Christmas.
Any way Bro. Merry Christmas and if you decide you want to do a couple more doz. I am on the hook for them and will get on the phone or whatever with you. I sure understand where you are coming from though. I am cutting way back on the bow building for much same reasons.

God bless, Steve

Totally understandable but sad to hear.  I too snoozed as I had planned to order some after the new year.  

Best of luck in your future projects, sir.

Another snoozer here!  I was planning to order two or three dozen after the holidays.  I completely understand David and wish you the very best!

I would sure be interested in purchasing a detailed video on how you go about making such great arrows!
