Yeah Howard you got that right, like I told ya on the phone yesterday it is a little intimidating to make a bow for another bowyer on this site. This is the fifth one I've completed for another bowyer friend and every one of the guys I've traded bows with makes killer bows themselves and I know that I'll be getting something nicer in exchange.
I usually have to make two or three to get a decent enough one to send and then I'm still a little unsure of the finished product. My personal hunting bow rotation this year are 3 osage bows made by Paulsemp, Cody and Pearly.
And I have three more coming that will likely end up in next seasons rotation.
I'm a lucky guy!
Thanks for all the kind words about the bow everyone. I feel fortunate to be able to trade with a great guy like Matt.
