If it's a V215 and you decide it's not for you then hold it for me, I'll take it and give it a home.

Hmm. Does this mean there's a dwarf hiding somewhere in the cuddy? (I believe 'dwarfism' is the genetically er, generally accepted term) Personally I refer to them as oompa loompas, no offense ...

Be careful inspecting the bow/cuddy just in case. I'd recommend carrying a small ... caliber firearm along with you. Those dwarfs can be purty mean ...

Yeah, I believe its a V-186 'Swinger'.

For $150.00 he want's it gone.  Unfortunately, its not the V-214.
