Ok, a little back story.... I was able to pick up a new, used Big river 59 Replica take down bow here on the classifieds. Thank you again Pat. This Bow is awesome as is all of John's Bows I have shot.
Anyone who knows John, Know's he doesn't make many take-downs and people who can talk him into it have to be really liked by him. From what I have heard there were not many bows like mine out there.
Fast forward a few weeks. May Dad aka Chuck Janssen on here, sees my bow and see's Brian aka Big River's bow here and stops at John's shop. It seems the two of them always hit it off when they meet. My father had brought some cash and an idea of trying to order a take down recurve like mine but more like Brian's. he had also brought some woods and buffalo horns to have john use.
Well after chatting it up My dad was unsuccessful at talking John into a Take down bow. This was solely Due to John already having one made exactly the way my dad wanted. I am a little jealous but have no reason to be. I am quite happy for him.
He is already making plans to take this bow on his annual Alaskan hunting pilgrimage. This year will be black bear.
