Does anyone know who is collecting the donations for next spring's PBS convention? I am building a special self bow to donate and I don't know who is in charge of that stuff. Heck, I'm so senile, I can't even find the email addy of PBS!
Or maybe I'm just more interested in hunting than office work....

Kevin should be a long shortly. i am 99.9% positive that Greg Darling is taking care of the bows this year. his email is
stykbowhunter61@yahoo.com
Paul,
Can ya give us any details on the bow you're building???????
justin
Yeah...
It's basically a Super Cub propeller!!! I love wide Osage bows. I got some incredible Osage and one stave was very wide and flat...so...
The bow is 58" long. I reckon it could be drawn to 27". It is 54 pounds at 26". Kudu horn tip overlays. Backed with Western Diamondback. It's a pretty as a school marm's smile. Shoots really well. I did some Indian art on the belly and it will have a brain tanned leather grip with a Kudu horn arrow rest.
I'll email Greg...
Thanks.

Why do you always make bows for dwarfs? How about a 66" for us big guys....PR Oh Yeah I like the "Too F. Short"
Greg is the guy, Paul.
Geez Paul, can't you make one for a 32" draw???
Mr. Brunner,
They are correct - Greg Darling is the guy for bow donations.
Visit this web site http://www.bowsite2.com/pbs/gathering12.cfm
and follow the link for DONATION Infromation and you will find Greg's contact info.
Thank you very much for the donation regardless of the length (or lack thereof). I hope to see you in Pittsburgh.
MR? Brunner??????
Yeah, I've heard him called a LOT of things, but never MR.!
Paul, can you post a picture of the bow? I would love to see it.

What can I say? I respect the guy...and my mother taught me not to talk down ( :) ) to anyone..... Mr. Brunner gave me my first recurve shooting lesson and I have been improving ever since......Besides, the man is talking about donating a bow and I figure if I am nice I may have a better chance to win the prize, I need all the help I can get when it comes to raffles.....
Duane that is a bunch of horse crap, you win all the raffles.
Since I did run the raffle booth for so many banquets, I am going to let you guys in on the secret for winning, but don't spread it around!
(buy a lot of tickets)!
Rick, SHHHHHH! Oops...too late, the cat's outta the bag now!
Duane, I thought everyone talked down to MR. Brunner!?!
I hope you all can make it to the banquet, you should see the book that has been donated, AWESOME!
Now Kevin, don't go twisting my words around. I know Mr. Brunner plays into the "short" thing with his self-deprecating sense of humor, but I wouldn't want anyone to think my accidental double entendre was intended to belittle the man.
Buy a lot of tickets? I may be guilty of that.
I can't wait to see this bow and the book in March.
Jack is right, if Duane's name is on the raffle he will win it.
Paul WA...
I am just doing the final sanding on an Osage longbow that is 65" long. I haven't checked the weight yet, but it will be light...in the 50s.
I am also finishing a 64" longbow that a guy ordered and wants it 100 pounds at 27" of draw. It's going to take two of us just to pull it 27" on my bow scale!
So...yes I do build longer bows. It's just that SHORT IS BETTER IN ALL RESPECTS EXCEPT ONE! Fortunately, all those growth hormones had to go SOME PLACE!!!
Mr. Brunner?????? I don't get it. Who is he?
