Thank you for the compliment SquirrelSlinger.

Thank you Adam.

Thank you bow101

Hey Bryce, thank you!

Chuck, you are correct, the wood was purchased from Gilmore lumber.

Thank you steelslinger.

Hey Weylin, thank you for the nice compliment. I’m happy to help you when you receive your sleeve.

Hey vinemaplebows, thank you!

Thank you for the really nice compliment bubby.

Thank you for the nice words Badly Bent. The new owner (Rick) seemed to take a shining to it when I gave it to him.

Thank you Arrowwind, I appreciate the compliment.

Thank you for the nice compliment Zion.

Thank you misslemaster. To be honest, getting the sleeves perfectly installed is a bit of a challenge.  There are lots of things to keep in mind including: use the correct adhesive (MT-13), don’t force the brass sleeve (it will deform), check the limb alignment before the glue cures, be careful not to glue the sleeves together…and a lot more…

Thank you for the really nice words Joe.

Thank you Victor

What a nice compliment BL. Thank you.

Thank you Jmil.

Thank you for your nice words Danny.

Thank you Mike.

I appreciate the compliment Bob.

Thank you Gaur. The take down sleeve certainly does make the bow more convenient when traveling.

Thank you for the nice compliment Nathan. I had to remove minute amounts of the brass sleeve to get it to fit perfectly. After that I buffed out the brass to remove the scratches.

Thank you for the nice compliment Kenny.

Thank you Eastman.

Hey Pearl, thank you!

Thank you Pekane.

Thank you for the compliment Eric.

Thank you Dvs.

Thank you Carson. I always appreciate your nice comments.

Thank you Simon, I appreciate the compliment.

Boy I don't feel so bad - thought I was the only one that filed the string grooves the wrong way  :-[. That and forgetting to take some Dr. Pepper when going to see Gary Davis at His garage  ;D. Bob
