bad joke, never could figure out how I couldnt convince him for a bou and char hunt! It would be like going to africa during the hunting season to fish hehe! No biggie, gives him another chance to come on up, this time we have a real hide away <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>!

Its pretty so far..believe me I cant wait for more pics....but then again it sure dont look like a widow <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>!

Vic,

That is a beautiful bow. The throat is gonna have to be trimmed a good bit for you if the Fox fit you very well at all. It is a good bit thinner in the throat and in the palm swell.

It is a jewel, too! Cocobolo and Curly Maple makes for great contrasting woods.

Let us know how it shoots!

Bill

Bill, I thought the throat might need narrowing too, but Morrison measured it & it's very near what my widows are, so maybe not. Pictures can be misleading I guess. Anyhow, I got another e-mail from Bob today, the bow hit the weight (60# @ 30&quot right on the money, & he's gonna ship it Wednesday at the latest!! He says it's really something special (think he tells that to all the boys? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>)! Wow..all I can say is WOW!!! More ranting to come no doubt...

Looks good Vic. <img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>I agree that you may want to get the throat whittled down a bit. <img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle> That way you can send it to me if you don't like it? <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Arrowsmit,

That Dakota is really pretty.
Almost as pretty as my Sley.
Just kidding.
It does look great.
I much prefer the look of your bow to the skinny Howard Hill style Long Bows.


Sag.
