I own two of his take down longbows and one of his recurves.  Bill is an awesome bowyer and craftsman.  He has been making bows for several years.  This last weekend at K-Zoo I had a chance to shoot one of the new SR Swift recurves again.  I shot alot of bows there and it was still the most comfortable bow that I shot all weekend.  It is amazing for the number of bow that he has built over the years, you don't see them up for sale all the time.  I think that is because once someone gets a hold of one, they don't want to let it go.  dino
