My bow from Paul Semp
« on: June 01, 2017, 10:12:30 pm »
Paul and myself did a 1 on 1 bow swap at marshall this year.  Paul doesn't post many of his bows on here.  I wish he would because he sure knows how to make a nice bow.  This one is a slight D/R elm bow with a super cool birch bark handle wrap.  I love the way it looks and feels.  The first thing I noticed about the bow was an osage plug in a knot hole on the belly.  The amount of detail he put into this bow is amazing. 

At Marshall this year I watched Paul spend the better part of 2 days helping a young boy and a young adult with disabilities complete their first bows.  He worked patiently with them until they were able to launch their first arrows.  The mother of one of the young boy was brought to tears on more than one occasion because of what Paul was doing for her son.  I also watched Paul give a custom knife and a bow to two of the club members who help put on the Marshall gathering.  I am honored to call Paul my friend and have one of his bows in my collection.

Its a great bow and really throws an arrow. Pauly builds a dang good bow. I had the privelage of watching both of them build their bows via pictures. I told them they were on a level playing field with this swap. Boy was I right, both bows are gorgeous and shoot great.

That must be a real smooth shooter! Beautiful profile and that bark on the handle looks really nice.

I had the opportunity not only to meet Paul in Marshall, but I also got the chance to see this bow up close.  Paul, You do excellent work, both building bows, and selflessly helping others.  :OK

I heard about that trade.  That is a fine looking bow and better yet, it was signed by it's maker.
