Can I Brag A Tiny Bit (Please?)
« on: April 20, 2007, 10:12:00 AM »
Would y'all forgive me if I brag just a little bit here? My "Ol' HB" (first bow I made) is going to be in the running for April Laminated Wood Bow of The Month on Primitive Archer web site (and magazine). I shouldn't say anything, as I probably will be lucky to get even a few votes - but this ol' fool is thrilled just to have his first bow in contention among the fine bows (many of which are seen here first and/or also) I see there monthly. Sorry, had to toot my horn a little - . Thank you for reading -     :notworthy:    

(Mike and I have been talking and I think my second try is going to be an Osage selfbow - BTW - to be started soon)

Bernie you are on a roll with the good fortune lately. I would say it's karma but don't want that horse beaten to death again so let's just say that you are very deserving and leave it at that.     :bigsmyl:

Don't want to mislead anyone - it won't appear in print unless it wins - and there is always tough competition, as you can imagine.
