I don't know, I think Larry might have been framed.  Killkeer seems smart -- like supernatural smart -- too smart if you ask me.  

And it's kinda spooky how her fingers seem to CHANGE the grips of every bow she picks up.

Glad I'm safe here in Wyoming and shooting a bent broomstick with a piece of rope for a bowstring.  "Nothing to see here, move along!"

Keep the writing coming Killdeer, I've been enjoying it since I started lurking on this site.

Great read and I love the banter!
Thanks for allowing us to sneak a peek into a magical world that only few can see or understand... without good meds.

Me thinks that Fibbers McGees closet might be filled with.... white coats with tricky belts and buckles attached..lol

:confused:   OK, what happened????? I'm awaiting the story here. Didf Larry place a spell on the Centaur before sending it to Killy? Now it has magically re-appeared in NY. again. or did the Morrison kick it's butt and throw it out!!! This ought to be good.    :campfire:

Larry, have you been licking hogwire around Woodstock again? I look at the rack, and there The Magic Bow hangs, sharing a hook with my Koa creation, Ember.

The poor dear. Much like poor Gollum, he is.

Svein, thank you!
Fact is, I have gotten the new bow, and another as well.
And I still have The Magic Bow.

Then came Larry again, groveling in the classifieds. You ever see those velvet paintings of matadors and Elvises and hobos and sad-eyed children and puppies? (I have one of hoboes roasting sad-eyed Elvis children for poker-playing puppies.    :)   )

Anyway, here comes Larry the waif, raggedy bow in hand, looking like a velvet puppy in a shopping mall puppy-mill window, whimpering for any member of a small spectrum of Centaurs. Well, wouldn't you know it, The Magic Bow sat squarely within the specs he was looking for.

What to do, what to do...   :rolleyes:

Well I sent a PM to Larry and offered my Shrew,my Widow,my wife,my incxome tax return. All he could do was laugh and say fine offers but not fine enough. Whats it take to get a Magic Centaur??? Killdeer, if you have have the Magic bow look into Larrys eyes. It would be eaiser to talk Larry out of it than you.

Kathy,

You must realize that I gave Larry the whereabouts of another  to his specs before the thought of the magic bow once again became his dream. I can only think that is was not purty enough for him. I hope it was the right decision or it could be a lonely xmas watching his add.

Oh, I caught that the first time.

Actually, until I got a clue that Larry did indeed really truly want The Magic Bow for real and always, I figured that it would stay here. I enjoy it for target, stumps, 3D and light hunting, but its draw weight is a bit under what I like for large game. This drawback (sorry!) does not extend to Larry's use, as he has longer arms and can utilize the bow's potential. My short draw limits the thump.

I have shot this bow many places, and have made some awesome hits with it. I love its smoothness, the fit of the grip, the snap of the limbs, and its uncanny knack of hitting whatever it was that caught my eye at release. But I have not brought game home with it. I am holding it back. I have had my own Centaur made for me... and am contemplating others! O faithless, wanton, me.    :o    

Larry has taken more critters than I can relate here with The Magic Bow. I think his hand has been achingly empty since he mailed it to me. It is time for it to go home.

But if he ever sells it again, and does not ask me first, he is dead meat walking.   :readit:  
I expect notification from any potential buyer if Larry the Curmudgeon ever makes the slightest gesture toward transfer of The Magic Bow from his custodianship.
That's what Family is for!    :readit:

Kathy and Larry,

       As soon as it is done I will post some pics of  two centaurs that would not be possible if it was not for one of our great family members. We need some new pics on this site as most have been deleted. As such the "Bluegoose" and the new "Mexican Blackbird" who is still in the germinal stage will show up in January. tom
