Title: Has Anyone Taken the Brisky Bow Making Class?
Post by: Special T on January 07, 2010, 12:47:14 PM: Saw it on Craig's list just wanted to know if anyone has taken it? I was kinda thinking about it.. its like $225 including materials for a Vine maple bow.... I'm a compound hunter but kinda thinking I'd like to try retro... Nothing more retro than making one yourself! any thoughts? Curt brisky is out of Ferndale...

Iv'e got a couple of those old vine mable bows that I'd like to refurbish some day. His class would probably teach me a lot. I'll keep it in mind.

Curt is a good man and builds a good selfbow.

Post by: carpsniperg2 on January 27, 2010, 08:41:35 PM: good deal most bow making classes are like 300.00 so i think if he is a good guy like the others are saying i think you would be very happy with the class.
