Ok my bad.........[:-]
But tell me it didn't look like shenanigans?
Slugman, you have my apologies.....I assumed you were up to something there (even if it was to just impress the ladies

)If your buddy was selling that for $400 I think I'd almost feel guilty taking it from him after seeing what other Bear recurves sell for normally.
I still want to see some pics of that bow though, better than the Archeryhistory site. As Arthur can tell you I have had a sudden uncontrollable interest in Recurves again and I'm just eating all this stuff up.
By the way I just picked up the same bow you have (Pearson Hunter 709) to get me flinging arrows until I can figure out what I want to order exactly from Chek-Mate for a possible late X-Mas or Birthday present.
Again Slugman, I am sorry for ASSuming.
