With Regret..........
I would like to start by telling all of you how much I respect you here on the site. There is a great group of individuals here carrying on the archery tradition. A group that has respect for others and for the sport. I have shared many stories with the people on here and have met several through my business. I got into building bows, not because of the money, but because of the enjoyment, I received when I would deliver a bow to a happy customer. It gave me something to do in the evenings and weekends which was therapeutic for me. It allowed me to escape the stresses of the day and to work on something I truly enjoyed, traditional archery.
Recently I have had some changes occurring in my life. My sons are becoming more involved in school activities which has taken some of my time away I used for working on bows. I was promoted about a month ago to Chief of Police. This promotion has changed my schedule drastically. I am working more hours on evenings and weekends that use to be the time I built bows.
I have tried to juggle all areas of my life to see if the schedule would work out and it is not. I am finding that I do not have the time or energy to keep up with everything. Since my police job pays the bills, I have had to make the tough decision this year to close the bow business down. I appreciate all the support from everyone and plan to pop in as time permits. Thanks again and I wish everyone the best.

Dang Jose...I have to say I've got a lot of mixed emotions going. In any case I hope your life feels more peaceful. Congrats!
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.

Best to you and yours.

Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

Re: With Regret..........
Well, there goes my plans for a Flatline...LOL!
Congrats on your promotion, and we all know family time is way more important than building bows. You can always go back to it later. Family; not so much.
I hope you will continue to remain active here, I always enjoy your stories and input!
