Jon put a grip on a bow of mine,It is a Kohana Windwalker,I bought in 1989,my first bought Longbow,I traded it in 94 for a set of Black Widow limb for My son Beau's Bow.I have hated it ever
since.I ask Rex the friend I traded it to if he still had it a few weeks ago and if he would sell it back to me.He brought it to me last week,wouldn't sell it,he gave it back to me. Man what good friends I have,I am truly blessed. Also Dave knows how I like knives so when he came down this weekend he brought me a Marble,very nice,Thanks Dave.I also hooked him up with and Osage to get started on.He got down to a ring but needs to go one more,he never gets in a hurry when he is working on a bow.

Jon also put a grip on the Bow Shanon[Sawfiler ] gave me,I put a finish on it and it looks great,Jon has been putting these on for a while,he uses an inner tube,pretty cool and quick grip. Jon's bow after skins.Dave brought me 10 sets of ladder sticks,guess he got tired of the stands and sticks I had,when he comes to hunt with me. Then Me and Beau splitting some Osage for Haley
to build a bow,didn't know it was so snaky when I gave it to her.

Hey Muz, you should have a package coming today -- check it good for extras

 Chris, just got back from lunch, and went to check the mail, what a surprise... it was SureThang, purty as ever so looked em over and noticed something different, ya left me a meassage, and my name on it. Thanks a whole bunch. So I kept emptying all dem styrofoam chuncks in the trash barrel, and an arrow falls out in my hand, my face swelled up with a big smile, and I said to my self...... SureThang and this arrow are gonna get some meat in a few more weeks, I don't care if a doe, Buck or Bull get's in da way, they gonna feel a sensation from a Tennesse stick-n-arrow. I may have to knapp my own head, since that arrow is a special one. Maybe Sawfiler can whip me up a couple heads to hunt with. Jus wanna say thanks again to all my friends down yonder, that's why LIFE IS SO GOOD!
May the Creator watch over us all. >>>---->
