Never too old to get 'er done!

My dear friend, John Pruitt, killed this nice buck two evenings ago off his place in Tennessee with a bow and arrow that he made last Thursday. The hickory used in both pieces of equipment came off his farm. I own several selfbows and flintlocks that John has made for me over the years and I have the pleasure of talking to him at least once a week. He turned 85 this past September and he reminded me of the upcoming event for at least 6 months so I would make sure and get his baked goods care package in the mail on time. He is the genuine article!

Boy, all I can say is I hope I can do as well at his age!
I recall pictures of your guns that he made. Hats off to John, and to you as well for sharing, Darren!

That's pretty awesome.

With everything going on in my life now, I can't even imagine myself being able to do that 20 years from now.
Hats off to your friend John.

Wow; that’s awesome! I am no spring chicken myself and this stuff gets more challenging all the time. But I push on and things like this are encouraging!
