Bill, I know that Milton Callaway owned and was still making 21st Century Bows up until a couple of years ago (2013- 14) but his website is no longer available. I don't know if he's still making bows or not.
Green, I can't really shoot the original as it's 60 pounds (feels like 65) and my shoulders can't hold up even to make an opinion on comparison.
Tajue17, I actually made the first one out of this form using the square handle. No one liked it but me. I raffled that one off at our annual banquet and the member that got it promptly filed some finger grooves in it. Grips are so individual.
I'm just a garage style bow builder and have to work for a living. I was told by a very well known bowyer friend that the secret to becoming a wealthy bowyer is to have a wife with a really good job. I whole-heartedly agree with him. No offense, Bill
. You guys earn every penny you make.
I might make 1-2 more this winter but it's back to honey'do's by March.
