I agree, bud, you should definitely keep it. Very nice all around. It will be an honor beating you on the range with this bow.  ;D

At this point, Clint, you don't need to post another bow for the rest of your life. You can sit back on your laurels/kiester and revel in the admiration and adulation of those of us in the sweaty masses. Your reputation is established!

Well said JDub.....I think Clint has earned the respect he has deserved with this bow....but I don't think he will "sit back on" his laurels...:)

You are correct Bill.  I've got a shorter bendy osage recurve in the works right now.

True enough, he don't hold still for long!

For a homely fellow, you sure think you can get away with teasing!  C'mon! Show a little already!

Holey moley ... you outfitting a squad?  NICE!

I'm not to crazy about making arrows.  Once I got into it I figured might as well make a bunch to last me a few years. 

JW, I'm a big fan of the black tip fades.
