here's a bow i just got in the mail made by james parker. it's an all wood lam with boo on the back and belly with osage and brazilian cherry for the middle lams. it's a sweet shooting bow.  the bottom pic is my full camo pic i posted on lw.  thougth i'd include it for a full draw look.

Gorgeous bow!  Don't let any of these guys get to you about the camo... ain't nothing wrong with wearin' a utili-kilt.

It takes a real man to wear a kilt  :D

Mech, you are right up there with that guy who thought CROCS were the ultimate hunting shoes.

How do you keep ticks off your legs? You ain't supposed to use PERMANONE on bare skin.

Of course, that COULD explain the desire to wear a kilt when you're hunting!

Nice bow!

Ray, Crocs aren't the ultimate hunting shoe? What else do you need for setting up in the backyard?

Good looking bow. You've got an odd placement for your anchor point too.

thanx fellows, i think.  the kilt is a long story.  being part scott and irish, i've always been facinated with kilts.  i wanted to buy one of the utilikilts but couldn't afford the $300 price tag.  i now design my own kilts for hunting and fishing.  i killed three hogs this summer hunting in a kilt and it sure made for a cooler hunt.  several of my friends have started wearing some of my designs.  if you hunt in hot weather, don't knock'em until you try'em.

I saw a bit on a movie (or somewhere) that the kilt was an Irish joke. Since the Scott's always try to copy the Irish they thought it'd be fun to see them wearing skirts, so ...

Might work real nice but I couldn't bring myself to wear one for the same reason I wear clean underwear that no one is going to see.  You just never know.  Besides, I don't like the thought of running in the gas station with my man-skirt.  I'll give it to you, you're the man!

I like the lines of your bow, especially at full draw. Is there a website where I can see more? Thanks...

I don't care about the kilt. That is the coolest bbo I've laid eyes on. Great job.
