[Dirtybird]

Congrats Joe that is one sweet bow.

[cacciatore]

That's cool Joe,you did well.

[LONGSTYKES]

Whip, That is one sweet looking bow. I see how you got the bidding fever.

[KentuckyTJ]

Very cool congrats Whip!

[Charlie Lamb]

So I guess now it's a "Whip snake"!   :D

[zipper bowss]

Now that is cool!!! Bringing a little snakey selfbow look to the laminated world.    You know Joe, that bow has got to be skinned.No question about it. I like it!

And a mighty fine snake it is Joe!

Nice bow

[Whip]

Bill, you're absolutely right, this bow is begging for a set of snakeskins!  

I shot the bow just a little bit yesterday and it seems to shoot really well.  Although I haven't shot straight gripped longbows for quite some time, so this was very different for me.  I'm trying to get dialed in for turkeys starting next week I don't want to do too much with it right now.

That's really beautiful in it's simplicity. I realize that some "simple" things are not when it comes to making it. I'm interested in how it would shoot in comparison to a "straight" one of the same relative specs. Also, if it's center cut, etc.

Cool looking bow fo sure!

That is Beautiful!!!!!!

Joe,
That is a beautiful bow and I for one don't believe that Ron King gets his due. I have a Triple Crown and had a High Sierra that I wish I hadn't sold. Ron is just a great bowyer and by the way does anyone know how Debbie is doing?

Regards,
Rick

No denying how cool it looks, how does it shoot? High cool factor!

[Hopewell Tom]

That wave in the handle makes one think center (or past) cut. Good work, Whip. One never really falls asleep at an auction, especially with items like that showing up. Always have some cash at an auction for those "must haves." You can make your excuses later.

[Blackhawk]

Awesome looking bow...and glad you won it.  

I was thinking of bidding on it, but figured it would stretch my wallet too thin.  I saw Larry Yien bidding, but after the bidding was over, I did kick myself.  

You did good!

[straitera]

Looker alright!

[Caddo]

Joe,
  I guess I'll ask the obvious question,, Why other that asthetics? I understand self bows that turn out "snakey". Just curious why one would build it that way, on purpose, Other than because they could.
  It is a beautiful bow, and I assume as with most snakey bows, a real converstion starter. Thanks.
