That is such an amazing bow! I would be afraid to hunt with something that beautiful and has so much meaning, but I imagine you won't let it sit on the rack an collect dust. Thank you for sharing.

Very good looking bow Gary! I really like the grain of the sight window and the color variations in the red cedar are very nice. The antler arrowhead is a very cool touch.

We lost Dad (6 of us kids)2 months before he was to retire from 45 years on the RR back in 1996. He was only 62 years old. He and I had big plans. A lot of fish got a pass because of his passing.

Dad didn't bowhunt. He thought a deer would have to be "tame" to kill with a bow as killing one with a rifle (when there weren't many deer when he deer hunted)was such a feat. I remember when I was a young bowhunter Dad would always call several kin when I "killed another deer with that bow". Some hunters always think about tracking, skinning, and the taxidermist right before they take a gimmee shot on a nice deer. In those days I would think, "Dad's going to be on the phone". Yep, it was fun being his celebrity from time to time. He was and remains mine always.

Thanks for giving us some insight into your father's life Roy. Special memories indeed. I'm sure that many here can relate to what you said. Many.

My Dad is still here but suffers from vascular dementia, which turned much worse about a year ago. Things became very noticable when he began having trouble with executive functioning, as he always had a brilliant mind. Dad was a technical specialist, a published writer, and community organizer. In the field he was a natural; watching him set up a treestand was like viewing a skilled trapeze artist . . . a "monkey in a tree". Now he has lost virtually all of his memories of our hunts together which spanned 40 years.

When the Tall Tines arrived in the mail yesterday I took a chance that he might remember something and decided to show the bow to him. I described the hunt when he had taken the buck that produced the antler that was now - at least part of it, in the bow's riser. When my mother came by he pointed to the new bow and said "I helped make that bow."

Sorry for the circumstances but what an awesome tribute!

Gary what your Dad said was worth every penny. "I helped make that bow" is just awesome. That bow should be a real shooter for sure with a very special meaning. Thanks for taking us along Gary.

Bowwild · « **Reply #54 on:** February 17, 2011, 05:07:00 PM »

Yep, Gary I'm afraid you might need to get a perm marker and document that quote, "I helped make this bow" Dad

Randy Morin · « **Reply #55 on:** February 17, 2011, 05:26:00 PM »
