Terry is now making bows under the name of Bull Mountain.  He lives in Gurdon, Ar.  I don't have a number for him.  He sold out to Roy Hall (Navaho Bows) several years ago and my understanding is that he just recently started making bows again.  I'm thinking about contacting him and having him build a custom bow for me.  Archer's Adavantage had a couple of his new bows a few weeks ago when I was in there but I don't know if they are still there.  Where are you located? Maybe we can get togather and shoot sometime.   See Ya

I would never sell my Centaur dbl carbons, Silvertips or Morrisons. Sold my pronghorn 3piece a few years ago, big mistake.

I'll never say never, as soon as I do I'll find something I shoot even better and want to trade for it.

My first custom was a Bighorn from back in the 80's. Sold it a few years ago and wish I had it back in tact. Was in terrific shape with my name on it.

Hey Jason, I remember that article you did for TBM about hunting with your grandpa's bow. It was a very good article! By coincidence I just traded another Trad Ganger for a Root Gamemaster. I actually was not even sure what they looked like when I made the trade ... I hope the one that is coming looks as good as your grandpa's!
    There are two bows I will never trade. The 1st is my Robertson Vision Falcon that was custom made for me as the result of me winning a raffle at our state bowhunters convention. I have shot quite a few critters with it including my best whitetail and my 1st bull elk.
     The second bow I will not trade is my BigEast that I got from Gene Charbonneau. I like that Big East so much the Robertson has been in semi-retirement the last two years. I was offered $1200.00 for the BE about a year ago but turned down the offer. I know $1200.00 is quite a bit more than its fair market value but it would take an awful lot more than that to get me to part with that bow.

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

I too own a 1984 curved limb bed Bighorn TD. In Sept. of that year my cousin,a hunting buddy and i traveled to Wyoming and hunted with Steve Gore on the Smith sheep ranch. We were all successful in harvesting a pronghorn. We were able to meet Denny Beane, his wife and John Rook.

I don't think i will ever be interested in selling or giving away that bow.

I have two bows I won't part with. The first is a 45# Ben Pearson recurve that I killed my first deer ever with (10 point buck). The other is my Howard Hill Wesley Special - I just like it!
