Give it to him now! That a beauty. Since he won't have to buy batteries for a watch, he can buy arrows!

When does he retire. .. You could send it to me and I'll hide it for you a while and even gift wrap it and send it back when he retires.   :bigsmyl:  

Seriously that is a sweet bow.

KennyM,
This is only the second bow of yours that I've seen(the other being your brother's) but they look great. You have some serious talent. Beautiful bow!

Wow! What a beautiful bow! I would hint to him about it. But, wait to the retirement party to present to him. Not only beautiful but a lot of Mojo going on with that bow too! He will love it. And appreciate it forever!

Very nice, I retired a couple of years ago and didn't get anything like that.  I would say give it to him to enjoy now this hunting season and many more to come.
