:biglaugh:  Ahhh, yes...another job offer down the tubes!   :jumper:  

If Kirk says you can grease it in Sasquatch snot and it will stay put, I believe him and that is why I'm investing in one of his bows at a time when I might have to sell a few other toys to "git er done", but I want a truly custom bow that fits my hand!

Those are some spectacular bows guys!

I'm liking the tips Pete!
What are your cores Pete?..they look cool.

What are your tips Thom?
I love the way the grain just waves its way down one limb, through the riser, and right down the other limb.
Almost gives the illusion of a "snakey" self bow.

Yeah Pete, I've been running exactly that combo on two of my bows and I REALLY like it!!!
