Clearly, the gloves are off for May... The race is on!


--for runner-up, anyways...

Once again Gordon removes the excuse "My stave was too messed up to make a decent bow out of".  Thanks for the continued inspiration, Gordon!

Truly awesome Gordon, The fulldraw is better then I had even imagined. That is character with some serious talent to bring out the beauty of a bow hidden inside.  You are truly an inspiration Gordon. ;)

Now that's a killer tiller on that wavy stick ;D Very nice Gordon.  By any chance are you or friends going to the Mammoth shoot in July?

Thank you Mark.

Gordon nice bow! I have to say the quiver and the arrow and the nice knapped head are equally as nice.  Have a good day!

Gordon,

It's just north of Bishop according to the Eastern Sierra Bowmen website. I've never been to it, but the southland Paleo crew raves about it, and I'm trying to add it to the family vacation in the area.  I realized after the fact its still a heck of a drive from where you live.
