I was looking through pictures on my old flip phone and came across these pictures that I took while I was building the bow for Larry.

They aren't the greatest pictures but they show a little more history about Kirk's Elk Seeker Bow.

Larry had finished bow pictures in this thread he posted. Some of you may recall seeing that thread.

Thanks for doing that, I don't think Kirk knows how to take pictures, let alone post them. :roll:
