Yep, I am on your wavelength, Coug! I went and priced the bow I wanted and it sent me home in a state of shock....without a bow.

But, you can go down to the lumberyard, find a good hardwood board; head for the bookstore and buy all three volumes of the Traditional Bowyers Bible; then sharpen up your pocketknife and whittle out a bow for under a hundred bucks. Each bow after that would cost less than 10 bucks. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
