Well, I owe you an apology for how sinfully ugly that bow was anyway! It could take a tree down though, you cant deny that!

Man, im so sorry, i completely forgot to reach out to you! When left home I still didnt have my arrows fetched, bows weren't ready, I was so far behind i was almost always the last shooter of the round, and spending all my spare time prepping and repairing my gear. Im very sorry I forgot to reach out. But I plan to be there again next year. Soon as I get the dates Ill let you know. You certainly should come out. Ill be the fat guy who looks behind schedule with a panicked look in his eyes.

Does that ugly stick still exist?
Eric Krewson:
I have a bow I would donate; I made it years ago when I was lifting weights, 62#@25" and made from the best osage I have ever had my hands on, it is a real screamer with "O" string follow after all these years.
Not a pretty bow because I grabbed a narrow belly split just to see if I could make a bow out of it. It had 13 very small drying checks on the back, I filled them with super glue and they disappeared, never to be seen again. I glued a rest on one side, decided to flip the bow and glue a rest on the other side, a small remnant of the first rest is still visible.
It is the third bow down from the top on the rack.

Sometimes those ugly belly splits are the real bow and the wood above is just for practice!
