You are kind to ask, but I'm with the others. I am happy with any bow.. Funny thing is I've been wanting a gull wing bow for a while. I like the profile..

Yea Ken, you have plenty of time.  Didn't you finish your trade bow in about 6 hours last time?  No, that was the red oak challenge?  I can't remember...it's the pits to be old. ::)

I have been the recipient of several bows in trades.  In each and every case when I looked at the bow initially my first thought was "What the *&^*%^$% was he thinking?!?!  Why didn't he __________?" 

Also in ever case I just went straight out back and shot the living poo outa that bow and found that it shot pretty dang good even though I was the one shooting!!!  I have done nothing to alter ot change any of those bows despite my threats to do so.  In bloody-well every case I now understand why they did what they did.  I have LEARNED from every one of those bows. 

I'm about to receive another bow from another member here.  I know I am going to say to myself, "Tom!  What the @$##^ were you thinking?!?!"  And then I will go shoot that bow until my arms fall off and will be very happy with what I have.

Make whatever bow you want.  Send it.  If the recipient is miffed and can't stand it, my offer stands.  I'll pay the shipping to take if off their hands so they don't have to P**S in their own cheerios every morning.  Nuff said!
