Bill Hickory ;D you have come far my friend. I'm not a fan of hickory bows but I'm liking that one real well, great looking tiller an always did like the flip tips. Can't beat a good cane arrow. Later Bob

I did a lot of shooting with some of the guys this weekend....The humidity was very high and I couldn't notice that much of a difference in the performance...the bow was performing just as well as the Osage and Hornbeam bows the other guys were shooting....I've learned that hickory needs a good tiller,a good finish, and have the belly heat treated well to perform well in humidity.JMO.....Love this bow.

What is there not to love?
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
