That is one amazing bow!!

A snakey bow is high (if not tops) on my wish list!

Wahoo! Just how cool is that? Way! I can only find one minor thing to criticize over, it's a lefty and I'm not!

No way, that's just too cool. Especially the way you earned it!

It means a great deal to me to be able to share my love of this bow, and many other bows, with such a great bunch of folks. Some of you I have known for a long time, and some of you are not known to me, but you are all family.

Cool. I think it's so great when ppl are recognized for helping others even if the ppl deserving of it are humble.
