Ah yes, memories of Classics past.  That shoot-around after the all nighter was a hoot!  I didn't stay up all night for the bowmaking fun, but watching Clint the next morning repeatedly shoot a steel drum was hilarious!

Good looking bow Chris!  That handle is snazzy!

Thanks to everyone for the replies and comments ... It is appreciated more than ya know  :)

No chrony testing with this one Redhawk...although it shoots a wide variety of spine it seemed to really like the heavy hunting weight arrows...this is more of a good solid hunting rig than a barn burner..altho it does have pleasant cast

And to all who made classic comments... Lmao  :laugh: good times!!! Gooooood times indeed!!!  ;D

That is a sweet one Chris.  I finally got to see the r/d you sent Juniper Junkie in last years bow trade.  This one looks like similar specs.  Very nice workmanship.  And full draw looks superb.

Classic sounds like a lot of fun...I have to make it out there someday.

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Thanks again to all who commented :)

Hopefully things work out next year for elm hall drew  ??? Looks like y'all had fun this year...:)

Carson I believe this stave was either a sister,belly,or cousin to the bow I sent Dave...pretty sure it was in close proximation to it...they were dang near identical...and easy to make into r/d bows with almost a naturally grown shape..this one is 100% clean and not even one lil pin knot in the whole bow...prime piece of wood for sure

Beauty there Chris, well done!  The patch is flawless and I really like the grip/arrow shelf... Bound to be a shooter!

I always love your bows but that handle glue up is too cool. Not exactley sure how you did it but it really adds a unique dimension to that one.   Danny
