I wasn't cracking wise.  Serious as a heart attack.  This bow would make a great centerfold. 

I can't wait to see the photos in this fall's hunting threads when this bow struts her stuff for serious!

sweet kit,great work all around, I just sent stringman some points in a trade and  sent them with some trepidation knowing the quality he puts out, lucky for me he drew my name too

Yea, Carson, all of it is totally pro.  The arrows don't get any better.  I would kill for a dozen.  And that's the right tiller for split finger.

Thanks again JW. I am hoping the new owner puts it to work. 

Thanks Bubby, that is a lucky coincidence you drew eachother's names.  Scott turns out some very nice points. 

Scott, looks like I will be needing some more here pretty soon.  I will let you know. 

Thanks Josh. 

Steve, you don't have to kill for a doz.  You know I sell them  ;)

Thanks lostarrow, Osborn, Tracy, and Tom.

She reminds me of that girl in high school/college who could show up in whatever, with no makeup, and hair just put up in a ponytail and look drop-dead gorgeous.  One sweet lady you got there.  The arrows are awesome to boot.
