Nice Jim! You do set the standard by which the rest of our bow buying is judged!

She's a beauty, Jim. I hate bow envy.... it's making me want one of those sweet shooting works of art. I cam so close to buying a Zipper. I'd better learn to shoot the one I have first, though. It'll be more than enough for this season.

RE: New Shafer longbow
The checkered grip is awesome-great shooting longbow.I'm sending my one Shafer recurve back to get checkered and limbs reduced this summer.It's also pretty much the same grip as my 2 t/d's so going back and forth between the bows should be no problem.Like Matt said,"The traditional Gods keep smiling..."
