So I received this package in the mail today, knowing it was arriving because Art told me it had shipped and gave me the care and initial wearing instructions to break it in properly. I spoke with Art on the phone a couple of months ago and we worked up a plan of what I wanted and then he explained what he could do based on my input.
These pictures were taken with a cell phone and really don't do this justice. I threw some arrows in for the picture, some didn't have points and some have 3 inch Grizzly's so they look a little out of balance, however it's perfect in size.

And of course my 'buddy' Ron LaClair reminds me we have the same initials and I could loose this at camp this fall

Art is a sponsor here and his website gives you an ideal of what he can do and costs. Fred ASBELL did a nice write-up of him several issues back in TBM and of course Ron LaClair carries some things that Art makes for his Archery Shop and that's where I first learned of Art Vincent's quality. Well, I'm just floored by the artistic talents of this master leathersmith. This is gorgeous, however it's made to be worn in the field and thus that's what's going to happen. If you want to treat yourself....well, just look up in the sponsor section for his contact information. Thank you Art!!!!
