Honoring two bow builders.

<< < (3/4) > >>

DC:
Hi all. I just got Goat's e-mail. I am extremely honored to be mentioned in the same sentence as Mark. All I did was stand on his shoulders. I just don't know what I can say about making fast bows. Once I saw the Wilcox Duoflex and Mark's bows I just knew that was the direction I wanted to go. I knew boo backed yew was a great combo so I used that. From then on it seemed to be just getting as much recurve in the bow as I could. It made them tough to string and I really don't know how long they would have lasted because I didn't shoot them much. I was never a good shot and after a while you get tired of beating a dead horse. Once I stopped shooting regularly my time as a bow builder was limited. Just woke one morning and didn't want to do it any more. I still like hearing about flight shooting and I watch Del's Youtube channel regularly so the interest is still there. When I stared giving away all my stuff I held back a few strips of yew and some boo so I'm not quite dead yet. I'll try to answer any questions but we went through this a few months ago.
Thank you Badger for thinking I deserved to be in Mark's class. I'm definitely not worthy. Do you still have the bow or did Alan take it?

Great to hear from you again DC. Maybe that bug will bite you again someday.

How’s your boat coming along?

DC:
Hey BJ. Boat is slow but it's not a race. Maybe a bow after the boat. Don't think there's two boats in me.

Very cool to recognize these two for their contributions.  That’s what I love about this community.  Solid bunch here and always willing and ready to share their knowledge and experience.  Gives aspiring Boyers like myself and many others on here.
