Great one bud. I'm truly happy for ya'.

You all should have seen Bill after he got it. He came over and sat down in camp and spent the better part of the afternoon in a catatonic stupor. It was amusing to see Bill in a speechless state of shock.

  Thanks for sharing the excitement and letting us see your new find...Just think you are holding a piece of history that was also held by a man we all Loved and admired...Fred Bear himself held that bow what a great story to tell to our future Archers...Cherish your time of taking care of it!  :archer:

Way Cool
For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

As an admirer of the Bear TD and owner of 4 of them, all I can say is WOW. You hit the jackpot.
Sharing the story and photos with all of us are wonderful acts of generosity on your part. I would love to see that bow first-hand. But reading your story and seeing the photos has been a fantastic experience in its own right.
Thank you.

Wow, speechless.....

I don't want Bill having to wait a long time for his 1st arrows out of his newest treasure.  

Therefore I got on the stick, cut out and sewed up a "Robin Hood" hat that went out in the mail about 15 minutes ago.

God bless,Mudd
