I showed him the pictures yesterday and printed off all these comments for him to look at.  He is still getting up to computer speed.  He said if I answer can you post it for me  :).   You know he is trying to get me to convert to shooting traditional, but I love my compound so much.  I've tried shooting Preston, and it dosen't work for me,lol..

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Pappy!!

The following comment is from my dad (Doug):

I hand drew the artwork.  I used oil paint on the feathers, and part of the deer.  The elk is done in ink.  All sealed over in true oil.  I also used a black sharpie for the limb tips, and I darkened with the same underneath the snakeskins to bring their color out.  I want to thank Pappy, Greg B, and Big A for their help and advice on the building of this bow.  Looking forward to hunting with it this season.  The deer antler on the front of this bow came from a 6 pointer I took on my dads old farm.  It has a special meaning.  I've got a new Hickory bow in the works, and a matching Osage Stave that I plan to start working on soon! I think I'm hooked.
