i bet that would make him super proud,not that he doesnt already have enough of a reason ;)

Way to go dad ;D! Now to get him working on a bow of his own - I figure a feller would get a lot of satisfaction knowing he'd taken game with his home equipment ;).

Yeah, when my dad was alive I was still using a recurve. He never got to experience my bow making and wine making...I think he would have enjoyed both! ;)

When a father/son relationship gets to the point that a father can learn from the son, the relationship becomes even more special....

Love to hear it, brother!  ;)

Don't blame me for the switch your dad made  young brother... he was about as at home here as anyone I have met... besides if you were to ask certain people I ain't even close to being a hunter, much less  a primitive one ;)..glad you and your dad can share in the hunt, and look on the bright side you can borrow his arrows now...
