Payback Feels Good
« on: January 09, 2011, 06:46:05 pm »
 I had a chance to give a little payback for the nice things halfeye, stringstretcher and Bill Skinner  have done for me. I was able to give Matt ( my daughters boyfriend) some knappable rock (He's learning to knapp) that Bill gave me. A BBO bow that is tillered to his draw-29"- and a few cane arrows fletched with Charles' fletches. Halfeye was the insperation behind it all. I know I'll never use all the rock, shoot all the bows or arrows (well maybe the arrows ;D) So they might as well go to good use. Just thought I would share this with y'all ;)

 Sounds like a good Idea to me. You did good.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Mark, good on ya! Bill is as generous with his time, materials, and knowledge as anyone I've ever met, and he wouldn't except any type of payment. I've wondered what I could do for him to repay him, but I think you figured it out. He sets the example to follow, and when we his students emulate his example, perhaps that is his reward.
