Absolutely beautiful. You can just tell that's an amazingly well made bow with some serious family medicine in it. I'm sure you two will be enjoying a delicious venison meal real soon.  :OK

Thanks Jeff. If you get PA magazine, this is my cousin that found the arrow head when he was five. It would be so cool if he could harvest a deer from the same farm with his Selfbow and Stone Point. Be nice to bring it full circle.

PS if you don't usually get PA I'd recommend getting this issue. It's a good one.

Thanks Paul, Clint, Marc and Bill. I enjoyed making this one personal for my cuz. We go back along way. I really enjoy watching him shoot it and a bunch of his nephews and their buddies shot it too. So much better than when someone just hangs em on the wall.

Way to pass the hobby on BJ. Being an ambassador of this hobby you never know where a seed might grow of interest.Too many times around here they would rather just buy one.Then when they think about that they find out FG bows can be gotten very cheap too.

Thanks everyone we are telling Hunting stories right now. He sadly told me he broke his stone point arrow. He did it shooting at a four pointer on his dad's farm. The same farm he found a arrowhead on when he was five years old. He got a quartering away shot from 10 feet. The buck heard him when his bow rubbed some brush. He shot as it started to bolt. He hit it to far forward and high. It is one of those sweet but sad hunting stories. He is totally hooked now though. I kept telling him when he wasn't getting anything close enough, that's hunting you just never know when one will magically appear. Sure wish he could have got him. I gave him two more stone point arrows, he's got one more day.
       Bubby he is from Roseville close to Sacramento. I've been out to se him twice. We went to the Redwoods camping and drove back down the coast really some beautiful land. I've always been meaning to ask you where you hang your hat in California.
Thanks again everyone
