Well Rich that is an excellent looking character bow, congratulations.

Just ain't fair Rich . You make some of the sweetest bows on the planet and then John sends you a Blacktail special ! On the other hand if there is someone who is deserving and appreciative of a really nice trade bow it would be you . And who better to make such a bow than John?

Ok, all is well. Congratulations to both of you .

Awesome! Just amazing in looks and performance. "600 grain poles?!?" That bow has some serious "ooomph" to it...and Rich, please stop digging up telephone poles and using them as arrows

what a great bow, like the character. you did good with that build Blacktail. it went to another good fella and bowyer to boot.

[bigcountry]

well it sounds like you like it rich...most time when i make a bow i beat myself up trying to do the best...and this was one of them...the only other person i have made a bow for is my wife and keenan...which they have the same draw length so its easy...i guess i am working into a differant world when you make bows for other people..it was a great challenage  and learned alot from that stick...thanks for such kind words guys...you people are really great...john

Well, when he gets tired of liking, I will.

You did well
