If it were not for that one, I don't know that i could choose between the rest. Not counting the bow I voted for or the one I made, this group of bows is impressive! All of them are top notch and nearly impossible to choose one over the other Well done! Very well done! Josh

as for degree of difficulty I have been told that erc is a far superior Bow would to yew ....that information being considered the level of difficulty in crafting such a fine bow out of yew makes it a tough decision between you Kip and Mr gun doc >:D all jokes aside this is a stellar group of finely crafted arra slingers, going to be a tough decision!!!

Post by: Josh B on June 18, 2013, 01:57:39 pm: Oh my! :o. Someone told you a whopper Soy! I foresee a bunch of folks gathering in your yard with torches and pitchforks in the very near future! Lol! That being said, if it were just a choice between Kip's yew and my erc, it wouldn't really be a choice at all. Kip would get the vote even if I wasn't the maker of the erc. Josh

EDIT.....Just so there's no misunderstandings, I'm not saying Coaster's is the best of the field, just better than mine. ;)

your eyes open when you drew it back! :o ::)

Coaster- as usual, I was dead wrong. But I'm good with that! >:D
