Bob,
That is soooo cool. Do you happen to have pic's of the bow's with shark skin backings? I'd love to see them.
Justin,
I couldn't agree with you more. I've heard crap all my life about being a "Good Ol Boy" or "Red Neck" or "HillBilly" that I don't even pay much attention to that ignorance any more. Heck ...... the Atlanta area has so many northern transplants, you can't swing a cat without hitting one. Gotta drive slap to the mountains or down to Macon to even hear an accent these days. Most of us around here have some mixture of Native American in us too. Mostly Cherokee I guess. Went to Highschool with a guy that was part Miccosoukee and another that was part Chickasaw. The wife even has her Sioux Great Grandmother in a book called "Foxfire # 9" She was just a kid in the pic. My daughter would love to learn more about her but I have no idea how to persue it. Too much info died with the elderly. Sadly we as a nation have lost a lot of treasures due to Manifest Destiny. A lot of Archery knowledge. Anybody ever read the writings from De Soto's travels ?  Marvelous stuff. 
Dane,
Pappy (my Pappy....scuse me)  always said the best way to get an argument started is to mention religion or politics.  ;D
I too am a youngster here. I have been bowled over by the most hospitable group I've ever come across. I've learned so much and gained so much confidence from all of you here that I could never repay the kindness. Thank you all.      scuse me....Thanks Ya'll

Hey folks, please try and avoid making comments that may be sound like personal attacks. It's certainly OK to debate the facts and theory but try to do so without calling into question a man's character or integrity.

For all we know Richard may be and probably is one heck of a great guy. Let's keep the discussion respectfull.

George Tsoukalas:
I read the article and its content seemed pretty good. The bow pictured at the end of article also seemed fairly attractive and the set wasn't all that much.I also don't agree that rawhide appreciably approves cast.  I don't agree with the religious aspects and I'd be happy to discuss them but not here. I don't agree with everything that I've read in all of the 3 surviving trad mags and I'm sure people don't agree with everything that I have written. That's ok. That's what makes life interesting. :) Jawge

marvin:
George, I always appreciate your maturity and wisdom. You are a credit to the community.
