Man, that is a cool Grumley/Wirwicki bow, Matt. I love the levers with Grumley brush nocks.  8)

Hi Matt!

Can we get a "close up" of the brush nocks?  It's a beauty and wow what a tiller.  There are some down right mindblowing bows being shown lately.  Angie asks about you all from time to time and asks about Ms. Heather.  Hope to see you all again at the Classic this year.  Angie is looking forward to spending more time with you guys, as am I. 

Awesome bow, really beautiful to look at.

Stephen

That is a very inspiring bow sir.  I love the look. 

I'm curious if the lams on the back of the hooks that you make the string keepers from provide structural re-enforcement of the hooks?  It looks like it would...

That is a beautiful bow.  I have lately been considering trying one of those but will likely wait until I have a few more bows under my belt.  I can see that alot of workmanship and skill went into it.  On a side note, a few issues back when you won bow of the month it looked like you are wearing a Lapeer hat.  Are you from near there?  Do you know Matt Beard from the Lapeer County Bowmen?

Post by: WhitefeatherFout on January 15, 2014, 12:29:50 am
Matt,  I think that bow is alright, I'm not sure.  I don't like to pass judgement on an empty stomach and I've grown fond of biscuits and Miller Jam but I'm out of Miller Jam!  From my famished eyes it looks like a dandy!  Hello to the Mrs.  Ohio Matt.

Clintster:  Thank you, we'll see.  Maybe I will.
Woodbender:  Yes, I do know Matt Beard and many other LCBowmen.  I am about an hour from Lapeer.  Have known those guys for years.
Whitefeather:  Thank you, Sir.  Will you be attending the Kazoo Expo?  I believe that it is not this but next weekend.
