Paul- Let them laugh all they want at us short guys. I just won a million dollars in a lawsuit against the state of New York for building sidewalks too close to my butt. Maybe you can do the same thing in Montana.

Gene, I received my ISHI photo yesterday. It is perfect and I framed it this morning. It is hanging in my bow room. Thank you

Gene,

I heard a story that Schaf held you upside down and shook money out of your pockets?!

Pete, does that mean when you and Schaf got Paul out of the bed of the S10 you only had to use one hand?

This thread is too much!  My wife wonders why I sit at the computer and laugh so much!

Too short must be lurking and stocking up on comebacks.

I think he has said his comebacks, it just takes them so long to reach us from way down there.

In the early 90's Paul came to my shop near Spokane Wa. to purchase a longbow, it was something trying to build a longbow that was not taller then Paul. After Paul left my neck was sore from looking down all day long.  Its been along time Paul hope your doing good      Dan Berry  

Met Gene at a Expo in Idaho, took a picture of him but could not get all of him into the picture.         but it was nice meeting you Gene   Dan Berry

Paul will be getting even with all the short people jokes.  Just as soon as his wife lifts him up onto the chair, so he can reach the desk top and type.  I can see him now standing on the chair pulling the key board over to his chin and typing away.  Good thing he is near sighted!

I don't know about that Wud.  I think Ray Hammonds did the math and figured out that Paul was only pulling something like 42# at his 12" draw.

Boy oh boy, I don't know about you guys picking on a guy who has shot cape buff from below.  It takes a lot of guts to let those things get over you before you drop string.  He seems like a bad a$$ to me!   Plus he spends half the year in MT and the other half in NZ two of the prettiest places on earth so i fugure he's damn smart too. Mr. Wensel on the other hand left MT, I guess he wanted flatter ground so he could roll to his treestand.  :saywhat:

Paul told me once that Gene has small feet. I asked him why?  He said it's because nothing grows in the shade   :biglaugh:      :biglaugh:
