Well, I think the comment about "special needs" was intended to be insulting to people who argue.

Anyways, let's move on gentlemen.  I would like to see threads like this end on a light note.  Maybe that's a lot to ask but I don't think it's impossible with the level of intelligence and wisdom of the members on here.

Regardless of what you think the comment intended to be, it only came off as insensitive and horribly inappropriate to people with special needs as being retards. Any support of it is disgraceful.

And just so you (or everyone else) should know, I will never stop defending my daughter from intolerance and ignorance.

Hate to see this Rich. I was nearly the victim last week. On the plus side, I'm a fan of your work, and this is no exception. I appreciate the effort you go to, to stay true to your own methods. I believe your vast experience and documentation of your craft is proof enough of your talent. Thanks for posting and please continue to do so. Once the snow melts some of the other stuff will melt away as well.

I just read this thread  it honestly makes me not want to post a bow due to the viscous critism around here lately. werebhere to help each other. Not try and belittle someone. It just seems some people have been making pedestals instead of bows

[SLIMBOB]

Nice bow Rich.

[Blaflair2]

Sorry rich, as always, nice work

You took the words out of my mouth Pappy. Take this elsewhere!

[crooketarrow]

   How much dose it rattle when you shoot it.

  SWEETTTTTTTTTTTTTT  skins

[Pappy]

That can happen but is that really what you want ??Pappy

[Stringman]

...and now back to you, Rich.

So did you really cut that skin in thirds to make this bow?? I really like the way you incorporated the rattle!

[half eye]

yes sir I did. I was hoping this would die but guess not so I will take that skin photo is was thinking about. Put it up a little later sir.

Crooketarrow, it dont rattle at all when shot, thats why I put the mink cuffs where they are.
