This post is a little overdue, but the sun was finally cooperative today for a little picture taking.
Earlier in this thread Chuck graciously made me an offer to pick any bow from his bowrack and even more graciously offered to put me up in Alsaka for a little fishing trip. I hope to take him up on that fishing trip offer someday. I declined to pick a bow because that's just not me.
Okay to make a long story a little shorter, Chuck and I were visiting on the phone recently about bows and hunting, careers, the iditarod and who knows what else. During our conversation Chuck mentioned that he had recently offered a White Glass 57 Kodiak up for sale but still had it. A couple days later I asked Chuck if he would still consider selling the WG 57K. He told me that he still had some shooting to do with it and I fully understood that.
Some days later the postman showed up with a, you guessed it, White Glass 57 Kodiak. WOW!!!!
Somewhere in a previous post here on Trad Gang Chuck made a statement that we are simply "caretakers" of these great pieces of history and since most of them will outlive us, our role is to use them, shoot them, appreciate them and preserve them while we are here.
Collecting is really about the people you meet along the way and the friends that you are fortunate enough to make.
Thank You Chuck, I'm proud to be the "caretaker" of such a fine weapon. It really adds a touch of class to my bow rack and best of all shoots like an absolute dream. I'm looking forward to doing a little bunny hunting with it in years to come.
Here's a few pics and a little description.

Enjoy
Now that's sexy!!!! Thanks again Chuck, Trap
