Wingnut you have exceeded expectations regarding my Orion.. I went on a combo squirrel/stump shooting quest this morning in the rain here in Missouri with my Orion. Not many squirrels moving in that weather but every stump in range was in TROUBLE...!!

Thank you for such a beautiful (shedua/osage)great performing bow.. It is fast and whisper quiet. Plus it shoots where I am looking.  Could not be more pleased..

That Curly Myrtle bow is an eye catcher!!

Mike as usuall they are sharp. The yew and coco really caught my eye. The only problem is my wife would put my eye out if I look to close. Great job.

miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where
you are going and why.

I was just thinking a few days ago that I hadn't seen any posts from you lately.  Good job Mike & Jason, those are beautiful.
