Great to see the kido's building bows and shootin'. My daughter told me she wants to start shooting with me... so this weekend I refinished an Osage bow I had that wasn't completed for her and she loved it. She is 16 yrs old... I say better bows than boys.LOL I'll post pics of the bow when I get time.

  That's cool Jamie. I remember when you and the kids started this project, that's when I sent you the Axe. They did good, It had to be rewarding watching your kids do this. I'm looking forward to reading the article.

Jamie great to see what you've been up too. I saw you in a PA magazine in 2004 I believe with a bow you made with all stone tools. Got me going that's for sure. I credit you and and an article by Tim Baker as my main inspiration for my 1st stone-age projects.

Nice, Jamie. I too am looking forward to the story. I've met your older boy, great kid, and way to bright for his own good :) Jamie's wife is terrific, too.
