I wanted to get this back to the top because I forgot to tell you about my experience while ordering this bow. Let me begin this way, Dave was one of the most helpful and courteous bowyer I have ever dealt with. He listened patiently as I explained about the injury I had with my left hand and how some grips just don't work for me. He asked if I could send him a sketch of the grip and he would try to duplicate it. He kept me abreast of what was going on with the bow and even included pics of the handle to see if that was what I had in mind and let me see the mrytle he was using. I could go on about this bow for quite awhile longer but would just like to say this; I would honestly like to reccomend Dave Johnson as one of the finest Gentleman/ Bowyer/Artist that I have had the pleasure to know and am proud to own one of his creations.
