Jack,
Is your house built on a vintage bow aquifer?  

They just keep coming and coming and coming.

VERY COOL bow here Jack!

That is a very rare and beautiful bow.  Love those '64s.  That wood has tremendous character.

Between you and John K. (Johnnyrazorhead) and all the wild stuff you keep finding.......you're gonna cause a mass movement of collectors to MI!

Beautiful beast of a 64K!

Actually this bow spent it's life out on the west coast. The person I acquired it from was the second owner and had it for about ten years or so. About all he could tell me was that the original owner had bought it before his tour of duty in Viet Nam. He occasionally sees that person so I'm hoping to find out a little more information on it yet.

John,

 I thought if I looked outside of Michigan I might be able to find something you hadn't already passed over but I see there is no escape.

Might as well come and get them.

Jack,
  You have made a wise decision.No sense in cluttering up your home with all that kindling.You might as well let me take it off your hands.And you and I both know that bow is much to heavy for you to shoot.I will come by this week-end with my truck to help you un-clutter your home.Besides,you don't want to be called a hoarder do you? LOL
