Surprise On Top of A Surprise
« on: July 23, 2007, 10:27:09 pm »
Want to share this special feeling about my first bow - seen earlier in this forum. Kinda like a cherry on a hot fudge sundae.

I did get my issue of the magazine in the mail today, and what a surprise and pleasant feeling - even after Curtis Keller's heads-up. They (PA) gave me a Runner-up spread just like a Winner's spread - never expected that. Nice comments from Ol' Bow and others; and GordonF, bless his heart, even wanted to give me his award. No way, Gordon my friend, but what a nice gesture. You are a Winner in lots more ways than just with bows. Thank you Primitive Archer, for your fine magazine, the ongoing competitions, and for my Special Mention.

With any luck, I will return with other bows I make, and real soon I will post pics of a sister bow made by my mentor Mike and finished by me (just for show and tell). I think you'll like it.

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

Bernie, With your contribution to archery, dinosaurs and all ;), you deserve recognition of some sort and being that this was your first bow is icing on the cake. 8) I haven't received my copy yet but I look forward to reading it when it gets here. ???
   Maybe with your "pull" at PA you could get them to speed up the delivery of my mag.  ;D
   You done good, my friend. Congratulations! ;)    Pat

Thanks for the kind comments, guys. They mean a lot to me. Pat, I don't think my "pull" will help any there - LOL - Maybe your issue will show today!

Just got back from a week of family camping and opened my PA magazine and saw your bow. I can't tell you how pleased I was to see it there. A fine bow from an even finer gentleman. Way to go Bernie!
