Thanks fellas!  Ed, it was a pleasure to meet ya and yes that old Osage was pretty hard.  However, chasing a ring on it was pure pleasure.  Even with the thin rings and 15 knots.  The draw knife just slid through the early growth like it was on rails!

Blackhawk,  I believe that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about one of my bows!  I might have to get a bigger hat after that.  Thanks.   Josh

Great job GD!  I'll have to have you show me how to do that @ the Classic next year.  ;)

Good for you Sadie, looks like you got a deal there.
