Thanks everyone, we appreciate all the nice comments

Here's a link to a couple pictures that are on my web site.
 http://www.shrewbows.com/laclairs.html

Nancy has always taken care of her own archery equipment. She strings and unstrings her own bow without a stringer I might add.   :)

I have always sharpened her broadheads and she lets me do that because she knows how fussy I am about them.

She took her first deer with a bow in 1963 with a Bear lady's Polar recurve, cedar arrow and Eskimo broadhead. She's hunted with a longbow for the last 20 years or so. She use to hunt in tree stands from time to time but now prefers a ground blind.

She's game for anything, even riding to an archery shoot with a goofy old man in a Bears head helmet    :biglaugh:

Ron you are truly blessed, JMO

Nancy, I'm sure living with Ron was not easy. And Ron the same for you on her part.

But your one heck of a team, and together. It sure sounds like one heck of a life together.

Congrat's on a glorious life together, and the many more to come.

Wow, Nancy's hot!  If only I were 20 years younger and lived in Michigan and knew when Ron wasn't home.  Don't tell my wife I said that.

Congrats, Ron.  You two look like the perfect pair.    :)

Ron, you are a lucky man indeed.    :notworthy:
