You probably meant this for the bow section, no biggy.  I am waiting on my second Sapphire Hawk from Hornseeker.  Of course he's probably waiting on my last $250.  :)

This is my favorite even though it has to be over 20 yrs old.  Steve Gore bow made it for us when we had the archery shop in Enumclaw. Rattlesnake skin on the limbs. It's been rode hard and put away wet and has put a few deer down but still in great shape.

Killed this buck in 1990 with a John Strunk Yew selfbow.



My current weapon of choice is a Blacktail Elite VL. Used it to take this Oregon Blacktail buck last year.



Nice to see a few guys using traditional weapons!

Currently I have a Toelke Whip on order.

Those Sapphire Hawks are awesome bows.  I shot the demo model, and it was quiet and fast.
