Couldn't have bought a bow from a nicer guy, John's a heck of a craftsman as well.  Congrats on the new bow and good luck chasing those WT's this fall.

Thanks for the kind words, and I'm not a sponsor yet.  After Compton's I'll definitely look into what it takes.  In the mean time, I hope the moderators don't pull this thread.  I don't spend as much time on this site, but I think I should.  I sure do look forward to getting that PA magazine in the mail!!  ;D

Very cool! the arrows look great too! I really like the knot whole. You will have to learn the picture junkies wont get a good fix unless there is a full draw pic :D lol maybe the new owner can add that when he has time.

   Hey to you Buckeye Guy, hope to see you at next Marshall rondo. My wife and I plan to go. Theres alot of bow magic in Mich.  Around my neck of the woods its all zip-bow crossbows and compounds. I have been hunting recurves since being a teenager,but this is the first time with osage. I sold off my modern Bears and martin howates. Hello wonderfull Self Bows!!!  Thanks John for putting photo,s up,I,m not good at the computer  stuff,being old and growing up with tube radio,s and B-W tube  tv,s with rabbit ears. Old school. But the self bow is as modern as today!!!

Flinch-rock foulers?!?!?!

hehehe, I sure do loooove the stink they make!  I came here by devolving back from caplocks to flintlocks to bows.  I'm on my way to atlatls, rabbit sticks, throwing rocks, and ultimately wearing half-dressed hides while following around major predators to scavange off the leavings of their kills.  I'd take it back further, but the vet tells me that there is no way to reverse the tail-ectomy from when I was a kid!

You got yourself a dang nice bow there.  It should pass muster at most Rendezvous, even if the AMM guys frown at it.  High Plains Regional Rendezvous kicks off this weekend, I donated a bow and a set of arrows for them again this year.

  Yes hunting with a Flint smoothbore is like hunting with a selfbow.  Just like a compound or crossbow is like a inline fake black powder scoped zip-gun modern inline junk!

Nice looking bow John. I am hoping to learn some of the ways of the force at the MTB Jamboree and GLLI, so I too can construct my own bow for the Marshall shoot next year.
