Title: SOMETHINGS COMING FOLKS!!!
Post by: T. W. Harris on March 28, 2017, 07:36:00 AM
Well folks, I've got something coming that I'll kick off at this year's Howard Hill Southeastern Classic.

There is something being made for me right now for this endeavor.

I also feel, if you're a true believer in our archery tradition, you will be as excited as I am, about this.

I will, however,  share what this will be as soon as I get it in my hands.

Can you say, "ONE OF A KIND", this will be!

STAY TUNED!!!

Folks, I thought I'd bring this back up.

I'm hoping this week or next week at the latest I'll announce what's coming.

A little hint:

Let's think about our past greats in traditional archery, and then those that are still with us.  Now, think COLLECTABLE!!!

PAVAN, If you're a Howard Hill fan and you like the idea of "Tradition", I really think you'll like what I'm getting ready to get going.  

Alright folks, I think it's time.  I don't know how to post photos here and I don't have the bow being made for this but hopefully it'll be with me next week.  Here it goes.

First, there is a plaque for hanging this bow on and it reads:

In The Spirit Of Those Traditional Archery Legends Such As
Howard Hill ~ Fred Bear ~ Ben Pearson ~ Glenn St. Charles ~  And Others

The Signatures On This Bow Represent Some Of The Best At Keeping This Tradition Going. Keeping A Tradition Alive Is Important For Teaching The Next Generation About A Particular Or Shared Past. These Traditions Are Beliefs Or Behaviors That Are Passed Down From One Generation To The Next. This Has Proven To Be True Within The Brotherhood Of Traditional Archery.
Thus, The Importance Of These Individuals Who Have Signed This Bow, Titled.

"THE TRADITION LIVES ON"

Of course the reading of the plaque is centered, LOL.

The bow is a "TEMBO" from Howard Hill Archery Co. with a silver Elephant inlaid in the riser.  The limbs are white glass where signatures will stand out.

Here are just a few of the twenty signatures of these torch bearers of traditional archery.

G. Fred Asbell ~ Bob Lee ~ Gene & Barry Wensel ~ Byron Ferguson ~ T.J. Conrad ~ Dick Robertson ~ Monty Browning ~ Ron LaClair, with many others coming.

I'll be raffling the bow with the proceeds going to a local Boy Scout Camp and an organization called Children's Harbor, which works with extremely ill children.  

I'll have more to follow later in a thread I'll title "The Tradition Lives On" bow.

Wow, that's incredible! I can't wait to see some pictures!

So far, three of the gentlemen signing this bow are in the "Archery Hall of Fame", G.Fred Asbell, Bob Lee & Len Cardinale.

Who knows, will some of these others also be inducted?  All I know is, everyone one of these torch bearers of our great sport were very humbled to be asked to sign this bow.  I'm very honored they feel this way.

It's here, "THE TRADITION LIVES ON" bow!!!

Folks, this bow will start it's journey gathering signatures from some of the best torch bearers in traditional archery, starting at this year's Howard Hill Southeastern Classic.

It will then wind up, after making stops in Texas and Missouri, to the Compton Rendezvous for more.  I'll pick it up there and then send it to several states around the country before it gets back to me.

The bow will be raffled off at next year's Howard Hill SE Classic with the proceeds going to Camp Jack Wright, Boy Scout Camp and Children's Harbor which works with very ill children.  I'll be selling these raffle tickets throughout this next year.
