I have never met a more caring, giving, sharing, good hearted, crazy bunch of folks in my life! In the past week I have received a dozen awesome switch cane shafts from David in Arkansas, and I have never met the Man. Today I received my ERC lams from Sister McKenzie in Missouri and as always Kenny sent way past what I ordered, and I have never met the Man. Today Mitch from North Carolina asked for my addy so he can send me some Bamboo he just cut, and I have never met the Man. Last month Ralphie Boy from New Mexico sent me 2 pieces of awesome riser material, East Indian Rosewood and I can never remember the other ones name, and I have never met the Man. Six months ago Pat from NC sent me some switch cane shafts, and I have never met the Man. Four months ago Keenan from Oregon sent me an awesome Yew stave, and I have never met the Man. DVS sent me two Osage billets a year ago, and I have never met the Man. Semo from Missouri sent me awesome Osage billets 2 years ago, and I have never met the Man. Pearly boy from Michigan has sent me two great Osage Self Bows, and I have never met the Man.
Where will it end I have no clue. But you boys are something else. And I am proud to be acquainted with all ya crazy Trad Guys.
Roy
You're OK too Roy. Don't you remember sending me a string making jig after I asked a question about making my own bowstrings?
Dave.
Ah crap Dave, I forgot about the Wolf carving you sent me, sorry Bro.
I have never seen a nicer bunch than the folks on here. I've seen more acts of kindness here than any where else in my 52 years.
A couple of months ago, some old cumudgion from PA put a couple of great cane arrows in an art exhibition I am involved. He then told me I can keep the arrows after the show, AND I have never met the man.
Roy you are absolutely right, this site is full of awesome people and you are one of them.
Ditto that. I just recieved a half doz footed cedars from modr in Nj free of charge. Unlike some of the other forums i frequent this one is a class act
Roy, after I asked a question about a bow form, you posted a video of yours that really helped me "get the picture" of what I need to do. You are one of the "caring, giving, sharing, good hearted, crazy" bunch that make this site such a bright light in such a dark internet.
Well, I have met you Roy. What would you like me to send you? Maybe some Goose Island IPA :laughing:
I guess your "ok" too Roy :thumbsup: your welcome at my fire anytime :campfire: hopefully ill be seeing ya soon up at toms ;)
Sweka-boy, just send me one:)
Ah crap Chicken Hawk, I forgot ya gave me that purty translucent horn over lay material, which I gotta remember to use on the next tri lam. I hope to be at Tom's for the Bownanza too. We just lost another guy at work, now we are down three men. But I will do my best to be there.
Hey Roy... I remember you giving me a line of @#$@ and great advice... Thanks ol' man your a great feller yourself
Someone had to take you by the hand, Grass Hopper.. :laughing:
Now look at ya, making nice bows and even built a hot box. When ya gonna make a string, son? :)

Yes I have, check yer pm's Sister McKenzie... :dunno:

Recurring statement " I have never met the Man" that as Paul Harvey use to say is the rest of the story. God help them if they ever meet you! :confused:
Seriously enjoy your posts and good humor,must be like minded folks here who put up with you! :wavey:
Hey Roy, you humble me my friend. You made me a bow, gave it to me, and shipped it to me as a gift. You also sent me a bow for my boy at no charge. You're the one that turned me into a traditional archer. I'm proud to call you my friend.
Btw, I just bought two Wing bows over the weekend....you created a trad addict. LOL
I have to agree with everybody. Your an alright feller. I haven't received anything from you and nor have you from me, but all the information your have given me is PRICELESS. Its always greatly appreciated my friend.
You are absolutely right Roy. Great bunch of people on this site!

X2 Roy :)
Now quit mushin all over the place and get back to work.... "OK" ????
:bigsmyl:
I am in total agreement, this is by far the nicest, kindest, most friendly, and family feeling place I have ever found on the web.
It was fine, no I mean AWSOME people like you all that have shown me what Traditioanl Archery is supposed to be, and inspired me to make my own bow. Heck I'm so psyhced I'm trying to mess with some dumb random tree branch cause right now can't afford anything else on this college boys pay :bigsmyl: :thumbsup:
Roy: Couldn't have said it any better. This traditional/primitive archery world of ours is very special. Hard pressed to find a better bunch.
Ditto on all the above. I love being part of it all , even if I'm not as active on here as i oughta be :)
That said, Roy... do ya think maybe they're just tryna keep off the thumpin list? course Kenny may just be tryna get ya to go easy on him when you DO give him that thumpin :biglaugh:
Geeze Roy, I didn't know you were so sensitive.
Oh and there's Bowjunkie who taught me how to make bows and just a couple months ago gave me the tri lam materials for my latest bow build:)
I'm not sensitive Jeff, I'm just an old fart trying to get into Heaven:)
Didn't you know? All trad archers go to heaven!
Dave.
Come On Dave..
Ya really think they would let Kenny in those pearly gates? :laughing:
JUST right inside Roy, Kenny will be the archer guarding the gate! But since no one is ever harmed there he'll be using BIG TOILET BOWL rubber blunts! ;)
There is a wealth of knowledge on this board. I have enjoyed every minute. And Roy is OK, I guess? :biglaugh:
Nuttin like a big ole group hug :smileystooges:
I just joined and already 2 people have offered to send me a bow string..along with arrows..a stave..wow..amazing..glad I joined such a good group of folks.
CamoZ if ya get anything good, just forward some of it to me please... :bigsmyl:
righto..lol.
Guess your ok Roy :bigsmyl: :thumbsup:
You're alright too Roy. I remember you showin me where the stick was that I coulda tripped over, on my way to go pee by the creek. Thanks Bro!
LOL on the stick Kenny. Only the shadow knows:)
Well I gotta add John Sweka to the list, he sent me one god darn beer today, and I have met this Man:)

Very well said, Mr. Roy. This is by far the best community a guy could be a part of. Everyone here makes a great contribution.
That being said, I'd appreciate it if you stopped jaggin around....first you show a pic of you in some awful moment in my life(still throw up a little when I think about it), then you get all teary eyed(wuss), I miss the crabby 'ol geezer that wants to thump anybody who'd hold still for an hour ;)
LOL, this was a ten beer thread:)
You're the best Roy
:thumbsup:
So did ya crack it open or are ya just lookin' at it?
You'll be hooked on the Goose Juice too.
It's gone and it gave me the chits:)
Gotta add Buxndiverdux to the list, he sent me two whole sections of fresh cut boo, and I've never met the man. Thanks Mitch
