 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Getting a break between thunder storms;  Guys thank you for the kind words but I certainly don't feel I deserve such a blessing. 

Wayne, Yes my face is seemingly frozen with a permanent grin.  ;D  And yes I'm very thankfull that Lulyn was as excited about it as me! ;)

JW,  Yes it is very tempting to string the yew but I know better. I'd feel like an extream idiot if something happened to it. So as much as I would love to see the braced profile, not going to happen.

Justin, for all you do I'd have to disagree. ;D

 Dave AKA "Juniper Junky"  came over a few hours ago and help fill me in on some of the items.  I had to keep a close eye on him,, ::)  LOL He started to look allot like Willey Coyote ready to pounce on the Road Runner. >:D

Most excellent collection Kennan.
Sure glad someone that loves archery got it.

After you get all the history down, bring a few of the best idems to the Classic so the rest of us can see the "Real Thing". ;D

John Thank you. The ring count is fairly high. When I did some research on Gilman Keasy he was very know for his yew selection. Preferred yew above 2500' elev. and was reported to let it cure for minimum 4 years. Dave and I work talking about that yesterday and pondering weather that was because of the greater moisture in the valley.
 I'll try to get some pics up for you when I can. Getting ready to head out for the elk camp.

Evil Dave; Thank you as well, We'll see you up there at camp!
