Marked you as shipped. And there is a 50% chance it is one or the others.

[canopyboy]

Oh, and if the recipient could post up a picture that'd be great. I didn't take any of the finished bow, I was too preoccupied with getting it shipped.

[canopyboy]

One more day and then I'm off the s**t list here...

   

[Roy from Pa]

David,
What an amazing bow and I have no idea what you are talking about on your finish! This bow is worth a 10 year wait and you are too kind to make this bow to my specs after you had already made a bow for someone els on time. I will be posting more pictures after a put a few more arrows down range but this bow is a pleasure to shoot and I am truly thankful for this bow!

[goobersan]

What a great bow Ralph !!
      Awesome job David  

[Crittergetter]

Well I hate to be the one to say it but, I don't like it at all!!! I don't like that your bows are sexier than mine! I don't like that it looks to have absolutely perfect tiller when I suck at tillering!  I don't like that some one else got it instead of me!!! I just don't like it I tell ya!!
Who am I kidding? I love it! Good job David!

[Trux Turning]

Wow that's a beauty!!

[halfseminole]

Just leaves me.  Between two sword builds, a quiver build and hunting the yard skunk, I have enough to do until a bow lands here.

[jsweka]

Yeah, I've shot a few of Dave's bows.  As Roy would say, I guess they're OK.    

[canopyboy]

Man, I can't believe you showed a picture of the crooked stitching on handle wrap. Some thanks!

Seriously, I'm glad you like it and I hope it serves you well. You do have some long arms, you asked for 30" but I checked the tiller and stacking out to 31" to be sure.

Thanks for taking some pictures for me.


My dad received the sister bow today. Surprised me that the USPS was a day early. Was hoping it was the case for you too. He was definitely surprised. He hasn't owned a bow for decades, but has been dropping hints since he visited last spring and shot my yew bow with daughter unit 2. What he doesn't know is I'm on his side of the country, down the street at my Grandma's house. I'm waiting to surprise him tomorrow at a party some friends are throwing for his 70th birthday. I've made an appointment with Dan at Wapiti Archery to go get some arrows with him on Monday. (They turn out to be practically neighbors with my in-laws and I never knew it.) The poor guy has no arrows, no finger tab, no arm guard at the moment so he can only look at it til then. It's driving him nutz.

Super nice bow Dave. Rmorris you are a lucky man!

[rmorris]

Your dad is going to love the bow! It has such a classic look with the green glass and yew core.

[Roy from Pa]

Very nice, David.

[SportHunter]

Really nice ASL, well done!

[Horn Chaser]

Beautiful bow!!

[rmorris]

David, I can't say enough about the bow you made! These were the first 4 arrows out of that bow. I had to change my angle a little to avoid splitting arrows! The only problem I have with it is my wife like it as much as I do!
