  That looks ancient, Russ.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Russ, looks like a perfect flute to me.  I know how dificult it is to get flutes by hand. If you managed to get a flute on both sides and keep the point in one piece, it don't get any better than that.

Ha I dont think I'll ever catch up to Kenny hes got many years in, Kenny makes it look easy dont he?  Hey but I'll give it a try... As long as there is enough rock out there to break till I can reach that level... thanks guys for the responses.


Have a great day!!!
