Fido--you are very, very, VERY fortunate to get that bow. You must have caught James at a weak moment. For him to send out a bow is maybe a 1 in 100 chance. Great bow, better strings, and a finer gentleman you will not find.
I was over there yesterday and there is a new longbow design in the works and maybe, just maybe talk of a recurve in the future.
I've got an Osage JVO and James made my son a stunning Kingwood number he can grow into. He shoots it WELL. If you look close at this picture, you can see the tom turkey (red, white, and blue) flying thru the air allowing Daniel to move on the the next round :D
