I received an awesome set of 6 arrows from Jeffp51. I shot a few out of an Ed Scott bow, and I think they'll be a great match to that bow. They even match colorwise. Thanks so much Jeff. The turkeys better be wary this coming spring.

Jeff,
The cd is original music that my wife Jac(k)ie wrote and performs the violin/fiddle parts, I wrote and preform the narratives except for one line.  The other musical parts are done by various artists from around the world.  Hopefully, an envelope with a small piece of elk hide will arrive, too.  Should be big enough for a couple of handles.  The wood is for whatever, knife scales, bow tips, etc..  We ran out of the original run of cd's, and dubbed some.  The download card is our current group, and is also original music

Thanks again upstate!

You're very welcome. I still can't believe it got there before Christmas!  :OK

Looper, those arrows look good with that bow, and I am glad it made it in time for Christmas. They told me it would be there on the 26th.

Hawk, I received the elk skin, and I am sure I will have a use for it soon. The music was really neat, I am impressed by the talent, and I like the fiddle in it.  I put a couple of coats of oil on the bow rack and mounted it to the Wall in my "toy room". It looks really nice with some bows hanging from it.

Got my bundle from UtahChippewa this afternoon.  Figured out the atlatl, darts, cholla, and feathers pretty quick.  The antler whatitis has frazzled my brain!  Hope the pics attach!

Jeff,
Glad the bow rack went to work so quick!

Hawk looks like a top bearing block for a bow drill. Bob

Bob,
That would explain the roller bearing!  Have to make a drill board and try it out

You nailed it Bob! Wear it around your neck and use the cord for the bow! Seems the hardest things to come up with are the bearing block and the cord

I came home after a serious ruff day at work, in a bad mood, and there was a package for me in the garage. It's amazing how a thoughtful gift can really brighten a guy's day!

In the package was a beautiful customized rack and a whole bunch of really nice bamboo shafts...

Thank you very much Looper!  )P(

I'm glad you like it. Be sure to take a pic of it once you get it mounted. The mounting holes are 32" on center, so you should be able to get a good solid attachment.

That is a cool bow rack, nice job guys.
