I'm gonna cry every time I have to pass by this listing in the auction without bidding - but the tears will be tempered with ones of joy for the amount it is bound to raise -   For The Kids!

I imagine it would be appropriate to feel some remorse or even shame over my childish antics.
But…..well…I’ll have to work on the remorse/shame thing I guess.  :)  


Madpig, not a beer cozy.  Diet soda.  
Clean Iowa living.  We don’t drink, smoke, seldom use profanity, and stay away from loose women.  Most of the time.  

Bow is packed up and will be on the boat to Tom today.  

Mike, thanks for allowing me to participate.   This was a good idea, and you’re to be commended for spearheading.

Yes, sipping on diet Pepsi... Never smoke, rarely drink...but then, loose women need love too.

The bow arrived safe and sound today. Man is it a beauty. It's gonna be something special when it has a finish on it.

I'll be out of town this weekend and may not be able to get anything done until first of next week though. We're supposed to get a bunch of rain and I'd like to keep it dry anyway. I'll post pics when I get working on it.

p.s. John - Thanks for the bulletwood!! Maybe I can use it to get a donation bow done for MOJam or something.

Cool!! Glad it made it there safe and sound.  Keep us posted on progress. I'll bump Dave Bulla to get him ready for next on the list.

Well John, "We don’t drink, smoke, seldom use profanity, and stay away from loose women. Most of the time." That leaves me out on all accounts, the hazards of being a Marine I guess, BTW I quit smoking cigs does that help?

Glad it made it OK Tom…..looking forward to see what you come up with.   I think you’ll enjoy the bulletwood.  

Mike, I put the left over snake wood in the tube also.   Thinking this will find its way back to Texas eventually.

Dano, depends on what you’re smoking now instead?  :)

John,

With Dano we are on a "don't ask, don't tell" program.  LOL

That's cool on the snakewood, if it stays in the tube it will find it's way back to Curtis.

And Tom, back that bulletwood with a bit of bamboo and it will surprise you.

Bernie's right, it's not the fault of the Marine Corps, I'm just a poor example of a child of the 60's  :D  Sides all I smoke now are cheep see-gars, I never inhaled anyhow  ;)

Dang!!  I was thinking and boy am I glad I was the first one on the list for the build on this bow.  Each bowyer seems to be playing "can you top this?" and I'm afraid if I was last I wouldn't have the talent or energy to make it happen.  This is going to be a great bow for the kids.

I'm thinking of a number to start the bidding and it's not $50.

LOL

Tom when you get the tips done let me know what string length we'll need, and I'll send it and the bow sock to Curtis. Sound good Wingnutty? With interest rates climbing I don't know, someone may have to sell thier truck to buy this bow.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.
