The pleasure is mine. Do you think I should work on getting all the water slides converted to press-ons?

Hi Al and Don -

My first bow was a 73 Grizzly. I am interested in the "Victor" decal.

Hey Tony,

I have no problem with that. How soon do you need it? I would like to hang on to it for a while to make sure I can reproduce it.

It's yours.

Al yes I believe the water slides would be much better if they were press ons.Water slide decals do not always dry clear.So the press on would look just that much better I think.bowdoc

Does anyone know the status of this effort? And if so, does Al do decals other than Bear?

TIA

Forty years ago I bought my first real bow, a 1973 Bear Super Grizzly. I promptly peeled off the dayglo orange riser sticker that explained how to install a stabilizer or bow reel. (Righty tighty!)

Then I had the foolish notion to peel off the Victor badge, figuring that Fred Bear's nickname was probably Fred, not Victor.

Now, four decades later, awesome Al strikes again!

(note: Al's "Victor" decal is perfect. The top of the "er" in "Super" is a flaw from the original 1973 silkscreen.)

Thanks Al.
