Alex,
That is a great looking bow! I can't imagine how satisfying it must be to take game with a bow that you made.

Alex, I didn't know you did this for customers. I thought you were a taxidermist/preacher.

Isn't it funny how kids these day don't have a clue what that means. I sure remember. We were down right scared to get hurt! We'd try to hide it anyway we could.

Yeah Big Country , It started as a hobby when I was around 12.
Then about 5 years ago ,I took to building a longbow, I always shot recurves, It was a Hickory 72 " @ #50 with a 28" draw and bamboo backed, I went to archery outffiters in Georgia, I got a lot of laughs from guys that had black widows and other expensive stuff.

I was there 3 days and shot 4 deers, we sort a had a shooting competition at midday and my bow outshot all the other bows,LOL.( In reality it was my shooting not the bow)

So a guy offered me $250 for it and I sold it, since then I being building 10 to 15 longbows a month for people I don't even know where they got my name,LOL.

But it is a lot of work so I have a carpenter now that rough them out for me and I do all the intriicate work and tunning.
Same thing happened with the taxidermy and now is a job I don't like. ;)
