Pappy when I leave from the classic, we can put some of those in my truck and that would give you room to put some new ones in their place >:D

I'll post mine and be brutally honest about it. This is every thing I have ever built that shoots an arrow, excluding two broken ones and one that I sold. Out of here there are six I like two I can stand and four I actually shoot. Newest on the right oldest on the left. The two on the top are "ornamental" but will shoot.
I like free stuff.

Great collection, Pappy.  What a wonderful display of your excellent talent.  Too bad you cannot show the thousands of other bows that you helped other people build.  You are the GODFATHER of primitive archery.

You must be storing them wrong, some of them got all crooked.

I wish I had a bunch of my bows for a photo, I tend to give them away and collect ones other people made.

I do the same Lennie,these probably won't be around long,several of these are from other folks,Shannon Walker/Will/Matt/Gary Davis and maybe another or 2.
Dan good to hear from you.Hope you can make it back to the Classic,you are a bow building machine and what a sweet wife. :) :)
