Well, I've been shooting all my bows these days. Getting some numbers to compare, and get a feeling for hunting season, and this pretty bow shoots right there with the rest of them! I'm really looking forward to getting my small game flu-flus out and chasing birds and squirrels. What fun to carry, light as a feather, and kicks those arrows downrange with authority. I'm not sure if I have as many bows or as pretty of ones as you Mike, but I can say I have some bows that are very unique  :bigsmyl:

Mike, congrats. What a set of presents for your birthday and fathers day. Both are beautiful pieces, from a couple of great artists. Love their work. Lucky man.

From what I saw on the first run thru the chrony I just might. Actually, I'm going by seniotity: Zipper, Stalker longbow, Longwalker. Except the Longwalker jumps to the head of the line for the MTB Bird Hunt and small game season. My daughter has a woodchuck problem so when the weather settles out next week I'm going Ghillie and Longwalker for a whistle pig!

I guess the "wood chipper" comment couldn't have come at a better time.    :goldtooth:   LOL!  

Chuck builds a sweet longbow!  I had a chance to fling a few of my arrows through Mike's bow. Smooth shooting and points great!

I sure do miss hanging out with everyone...

Aloha Guys!

Come back anytime Ryan, it was great having you and the wife at Comptons with all of us. Maybe next year you can bring South with you.
Thanks for the compliment.

For a guy that acts and posts like I do, I'm fortunate to have the friends that I have, and a great wife to put up with me  :bigsmyl:  Thanks.
