Pretty sure we've had this conversation before.

My dad got my brothers and I into archery at an early age.  For as long as I can remember there was always several bows and arrows in the house.  He taught archery and hunted with his Lemonwood bow, he also made some bows.  My older brother really got into the wheel bow thing when they started to come out but I always preferred traditional and liked to make my own.  I still prefer making bows to practically anything else, even though I don't get to make many these days.  I did buy a wheelbow about 20 years ago out of curiosity but it was a waste of money.

Sure glad you didn't go the wheelie bow rout Marc. You were a big help in my getting started and a very much appreciated the time and knowledge you passed on to me.
Thanks Bjrogg
