Here is the bow I am most proud of;

I met a guy at a tournament who was a badly wounded vet.  The first time I saw him, two guys had to carry him to a seat at the BBQ supper. The following year after a lot of rehabilitation he could walk to his seat. At this point I decided he needed a Krewson bow. After talking to him I found my personal bow wouldn't fit him so I went home and headed to the shop.

Here is Gil's team in Afghanistan, he is behind and to the right of Hamid Karzai.

     

Gil and one other guy were the only survivors of misdirected laser guided bomb strike directly on their position, the rest of the team and 40 Afghani were killed. Gil was horribly maimed by the bomb strike.

Here is the bow, wish I had taken more pictures, osage with as fancy burl overlays as I could find after digging in the dusty of the corners of my shop.

Handle;

     

Tip overlay with stringing groove;

     

Another handle picture;

     

And the best shot of all, Gil in much better shape with Noland holding his bow after we shot a round at Spring Fling at Tannehill park. Gill is legally blind from his wounds and can only see partially straight forward, nothing to the sides. He is a remarkable man indeed, no "quit" in this guy, none at all.

Eric a perfect bow and gesture for a wounded warrior.

Thanks Pat I shoot in Colorado some and that bow is how folks know me,the guy with the girly bow. If I don't shoot with it they ask why. I joke that it is for "bucks only" but shot a nice doe with it   :D  
I am always in awe of your bows and knowledge   :notworthy:

Just shot in and finished the hickory board bow on page four. My first board bow that didn't break. Along side it some matching poplar arrows.

I found this post in the archives.  Just thought maybe its something to update. Here is a wood takedown I built a few years ago.  Maple and Oak.   67" NTN 34# @28".  7 degree limb pad angle, 17" riser,  Over 3000 shots and still going strong.
