Wonderful article Pappy and those are some nice looking bows you fellas managed to scrape out.
Gary and I have spent many hours over the years discussing bow making and it's procedures. He once wrote me a three page rebuttal on an article I did just about sinewing LOL. We may disagree about certain procedural methods but there is no doubt about the outcome...good looking, hard hitting, game getting, wooden bows.
Where would the natural archery world be without guys like Gary Davis and Pappy Bagett? A poorer place for sure.
