I didn't catch the article about saltwater curing, but I did meet Richard Longbow at a local shop a couple of months ago. I was picking up some miscellaneous small items and the owner introduced him to me. We had a long conversation about bows, hunting, flyfishing, guiding, the whole lot. He's a Sioux, but he's lived here in Maine for years. I have his phone # and was just thinking about giving him a call a couple of weeks ago. He didn't have a bow with him, but the shop owner recommended I take a look at them. He was pretty taken with the ones he had shot.
