Shick-your bow IS lonely for you, so I guess so.  still haven't checked those pics on that thread yet...next up

Thanks Wally and Jake, appreciate that.

Hawk22...My uncle used to make those quivers back in the 90's...tough to find now and he doesn't do it anymore (except for his favorite nephew, ha ha).  I found one on **** a while back and bought it even.  It amazes me how many emails I get about that quiver.  It truly is a magnificent design: easy on off, gentle on the bow, and quiet...and looks good.  He got disgusted with the big name quiver dudes trying to copy his and stuff and quit doing it.  I am trying to talk him into doing it again.  Thanks for asking.

longbowwally, thanks a ton.  

Luke, awesome, the one thing I like about a longbow over a recurve is that there is no string slap.  When you shot is sounded like someone thumped a carpet or something lol.  It was really quiet.  Good shot, and a great deer!

Luke well done! I appreciate the way you reacted after the shot.  Quiet thankfulness and appreciation of the moment speaks volumes to me. I fear chest pounding and the like is not helping our image.  Again, well done.

[Milk River Stickman]

I like the carpet thud of a longbow too, Chris...one definately notices no slap.  Its is a very cool sound that only our "gangs" can appreciate I think.  
Thanks elknutz!  I agree with you fully about the reactions we are seeing after the shot...if it is natural, then hey, knock yourself out...problem is we see the same guys time after time trying to act like they are "pumped" or whatever and it is crap...the "treestand orgasms" are ridiculous and don't shine well on us....agreed.  I purposely try not to act that way, thanks for noticing.  smalls steps i guess.
