Tajue17  How many ways can I say thank you!

That will be saved to my computer files, if I can figure how to do it.

Howard is... well I wish I were anything like... nearly as good.

Watching him shoot makes me want to go outside and start shooting my Big 5 but I'll have to wait for daybreak...lol

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

God bless,Mudd

PS: Now would be the time for anyone who owns a good Hill bow that wants to try a John McCullough Griffin or a GW Flannagan to strike....lol

I'm feeling vulnerable....lol

Oliverstacy I love them all, especially Hill or Hill style.

Yours has what I'd call the classic "D" shape as far as I can tell and it sure doesn't hurt that it's pretty..lol

God bless,Mudd

So as I was placing the order, I realized they were in Hamilton, MT.  Which rang a bell.  Turns out Hamilton is only a bit south of Missoula.  Guess I've been there a few times.  Best part is, I'm planning to visit my sister in Missoula in 2 weeks.  I talked to Jason, who said they welcome visitors.  So I hope to be checking on the bow personally in the final stages.

I think the bow's name will be "Owl's Destiny" or something like that.

Right now I'm trying to figure out the odds that lack of self control will lead to coming home with "accessories".

I'll try to take some pictures if they're cool with it.  Although I'm not much of a photographer.

I am just beginning to realize that there are some seriously bad influences on this website, and YOU HILL SHOOTERS are chief among them.

Just look what you made poor Canopyboy go and do.

While you're there may you can check to see what number of "Robin Hood" they are starting or just finished.

I'm hoping they are stating on something greater than #22...lol  Anybody want to guess my place in line?...lol

I was at The Footed Shaft today and found myself wishing I was left handed! He had a 68" Pete George Hill style bow for $175 that was absolutely stunning. HE also had a Big River clone of a 59 Kodiak with orange glass and all for $295!

Thanks for the link Dick.  

Growing up in a custom cabinet shop out west, it really is similar.  Complete with an old wood stove in the corner.  Can't wait.
