Great bow Pappy, for a great guy! Gary does give and give. A couple a yrs. ago @ Mojam a Boy Scout troop came up and everyone of them left with a bow that Gary helped them build. He didnt get to come up for air till it was time to leave. Anytime I am stuck on a bow I hafta call Gary and bend his ear. He can tell me whats happenin with my bow without even seeing it. Thats alot of experience for ya ;)....Brian

Wow. It looks even better than the last time I saw it. I love that upper limb tip, it grabs the eye. This bow has a knot, some snake, antlers, and a built in arrow. If it came with some backstrap he wouldn't even need to leave the house.  ;D But what fun would that be? With a bow like this he should have no trouble getting the backstrap.
Just remember, you can't put the wood back on.

Pappy fine bow and gesture for one of the best guys out there. I only met Gary last year at the Classic but like I have heard. Quality is hard to describe but easy to recognise,  that goes for Gary and your fine character bow. Have fun at the Classic. I guess the economy will keep me at home this time.  I will be there in spirit.    Kenneth

Beautiful looking bow Pappy.  The tips look a little forward unbraced, did you put it in during the build, or is it natural?

Super good looking bow Pappy!  Is that the one you showed me the last time I was down there?  I believe it was just off the form and maybe floor tillered a little?    At any rate, I know he'll love it ;)

Great job Pappy, Gary does so much to help others, it is nice to see him rewarded. I know I will never forget how helpful he was when I started. I'm sure he will be pleased.

I think I'll  drink a Dr. Pepper to that! Oh, and maybe I'll get to shoot her at Cloverdale. Ha Ha Ha!
