great photo Rik,

this pic definately shows Hill's superiority in hunting dangerous game...no camo, no hat, no facepaint, a backquiver....  or maybe he was just a better shot than you and killed his game from 50 yards where it was safe and you had to make up for your lack of accuracy by getting within 8 feet for a killing shot....lol

I think the smile on his face proves that he thinks your getup is hilarious, especially the bowquiver.....

Rik, a most excellent photo.  Will you also please post your picture with Howard and Errol Flynn from the Adventures of Robin Hood?

[Rik]

Well, during filming of The Adventures of Robin Hood, I tried to stay away from the cameras as much as possible.

However, they did get one not-so-great snapshot of me (Nate, close your ears) advising Howard how he and Errol wouldn't have to sharpen their broadheads nearly as often if they would just use one of my custom bow quivers. . .

Rik, those pics are way funny.  Had no idea you hob-nobbed with the rich and famous.

[Nate Steen .]

Alright Rik,

I laughed big time    over that one....you got me....

I still think Howard would have rolled his eyes at you....  :rolleyes:

[Mudd]

I could use some lessons in photoshop...lol

God bless,Mudd

Mudd, what do you mean "photoshop"?  Rik is just a LOT older than we thought!  

Mudd was there with with Howard and, Rik, and Errol when that pic was taken.  He had just presented Errol with one of the "Mudds Merry Men" hats.

I was wondering if any HH bow owners could give me the circumference of a stock traditional handle.  
Thanks!

Good one Rik!

I measured a couple of mine, which have the dished grip and just below the arrow shelf it measured 5 1/2" , and in the throat of the dished section about 5 1/4" circumference. Hope that helps.

So I went out this beautiful Saturday morning before the kids were up to sling a couple arrows with my Owl.  The sunlight caught the wood, and I realized I never posted pics of the finished bow (just the blank in progress.)  So here we go:

   

She was ordered at 55# @ 29", but scales at 62#.  Osage, boo, osage with a coco riser.

 

 

I haven't been able to bring myself to cover the wood in a wrap, I just like it too much.  (We'll see what happens this summer when I have sweat to deal with.)  I did slightly shape the back of the riser to fit my grip though.  And you can see that's it's been through some use already and could use a good rub down.

 

Some pictures that really show off the wood:

 

Sharpie doesn't look the best for writing on bows, I will probably re-scribe at some point.  Perhaps when I tweak the grip just a bit more.  My daughters helped with the name for my owl.  (Might have been more fitting with white glass or all boo.)

Very nice job David.

[Mudd]

That's cool David!!

How much sanding does it take to g work down a bow blank. Does it come tillered?

I am considering the defying of drs orders and giving one a try.

God bless,Mudd
