Caddo, in reality of course the only reason that it was built this way is just for show. It does shoot just as good as any D shape longbow, so nothing given up. But the unusual looks really add to the WOW factor. And it showcases Ron's skill as a bowyer - the man is good!
This bow was just so unique that I couldn't resist. Although as a standard longbow it really doesn't fit my style, so we'll see if it stays in the stable or not. I'll play with it some after turkey season is over. But it sure is cool for now!
Oh, and grouseshooter, Debbie was at the banquet Saturday night with Ron. She seemed to be doing pretty good, although I know she did have a treatment earlier that day that had kind of dragged her and they were headed out a little early that evening. We're all praying for her success in the battle with cancer!
