Congratulations, Gordon (BIG TIME this month, with wins in both classes - LOL). No wonder your bows call to me so sweetly!!!

Hope to get pictures posted on my pages soon (I'm so behind  :-[ on everything)

Would you believe I actually got it done (and some corrections made  ;D)

LOL - if he isn't he might as well give up, huh, 33Obull ? I don't know though, Gordon seems so modest about his prowess, I can't imagine him ever feeling he is "up there"  :)

gordon, unbelievable yes, but still well deserved.  like andrew said, a true inspiration.  when i see your bows i realize that my journey has just started.

oldbow, have you considered making 3 categories? selfbows, backed bows and gordon's bows?  ;D  give the rest a chance to catch up?
