Ron,

On the cover of "Traditional Bowhunter" what kind of bow do you have there?  It looks really short.  At first I thought maybe it was just the cant, but I think it's just really short.

And if I'm making it out in the pic, it's from a '93 issue?

Neil, That's a 62" yew wood flatbow made by John Strunk from Oregon. It was a beautiful little bow backed with diamondback skins. I was shooting self nocked flint tipped cedars and the back quiver is wolverine skin. The picture was taken early in the morning along Armstrong Creek near my hunting camp in the U.P. in the fall of 92. That's a little snow on the ground.

Well it looks like things are winding down. Charlie, Van, and others haven't posted for awhile. I guess all good things must come to an end. I've had fun with this and I hope everyone else has too.

I'd like to thank Rob of Trad Gang administration for his help. He probably cussed me a few times for the work I caused him.    :rolleyes:   Also my web guy Brian Cole did a lions share to make it possible for me to post these pictures.

Here's a picture of Brian. He's the little guy between G Fred and I.    :p

I really enjoyed this thread as well. I supposed I've learned to start recording more of todays moments because of watching this thread. I have always liked the Armstrong Creek pic. It has become a historic pic that will surely span many more generations. Id like to see a close-up of that Tat on your left shoulder Ron. Please post one more pic. Thanks. Hope to share a hunting camp sometime Ron. Till then thanks for the pics. Curtis

I, personally, would like to see this thread archived in a forum called the Heritage collection or something like that. Don't know anything about adding a forum but if ever a topic deserved its own this one does. A heartfelt thank you to all the contributors here.

For you guys that wanted to see a closeup of my skin art, here it is.

                  "Spirit Bear"  

 "The Grizzly Bear is a symbol of great strength and stamina. It was traditionally a sign of an Indian man's courage if he battled with a bear and emerged victorious. The Grizzly is an elder spirit, here before us, and from whom we can learn much. The bear paw is a symbol of good fortune."

Ron,

 You continue to gain my respect and admiration. I have always felt a connection to the native American peoples. I have had a fascination with them and their way of life. On top of that connection to you I am also a lefty as you are.  I will forever be indebted to you for your contributions to archery and bowhunting.  I hope to someday own one of your fine bows. Again thank you.
