Wow, a second punkin' headed bear on page 1!  Way to go on your first trad kill.  May it be the start of a great year with your new bow.

The bowyer that built both my bows unfortuanately does not have a website.  He builds a limited amount of bows each year but does a fantastic job with each one.  I have looked at a lot of bows and his craftsmanship is just as good if not better than any of the high end bows out there.  My new bow in particular is very short, only 50" but does not stack at all and is very fast.  I have a 62" r/d longbow he built that is absolutely beautiful as well and shoots just as nicely. He involved me in the build process every step of the way and you could not ask for a nicer guy.  PM me if you want to contact him.  He is very well known in our area for his fine work but does not advertise.  Thanks for all the great comments,  It feels great to have finally taken game after spending countless hours slinging thousands of arrows to put one right where it counted.
