The one that's on Ebay perhaps? It looks nice. I know he made bows for Howard Hill Archery for several years.

A bow I've always wanted...Tim is one the true old time bowyers. I keep thinking I should just order one as everyone that has one likes theirs, besides Tim's and his wife's(may she rest in peace), long history in archery.

I bought my first Meigs bow in 1954 and have owned several others. Put well over 10,000 arrows through a Howard Hill big5 that Tim made me and took many an animal with it. Infact Tim was standing next to me when I shot a hog with that bow on the California coast about twenty years ago. You won't be sorry buying a Meigs.

I had bought a left handed Duoflex bow for a friend of mine back in the mid-eighties at one of the first Michigan Longbow Association GLLI shoots. It was a used bow and although I'm right handed, I set the bow up and got the arrows matched accordingly shooting the bow. It was very nice to shoot and spit the arrow out very quickly. Many of todays r/d longbows have that limb profile when strung of the Duoflex. Of course, some of the 1950's bows have that too  ;)  .

I asked Tim about the
'girls' next to his shop.  He said as long as they had fees that kept him from paying taxes he was all for it.  Mean while it was embarrassing to retrieve my over-the-bale arrows from the parking lot/   traxx-I'll ask ya in private.....
