| Maybe ... you, too, will discover that there is nothing really new under the sun in the ways of considering or making wooden bows. For all the apparent differences we encounter along our separate steps, it is the rediscoveries and the reawakenings that bind us together through this king of sports — rediscoveries and reawakenings that wait patiently for us within a hidden past, a past buried beneath the rubble of rough bark and broken shavings, below yellowed tomes of forgotten lore, near the place where a braced bow bends and sends a joyful arrow arcing across the sky, like a portending shooting star.
