Turned 46 yesterday,and have 45 days of no smoking under my belt, after 25 yrs @ a pack and 1/2 a day.
To celebrate (and thank everyone) I would like to make a custom vertical bow rack for someone, I can't post pictures, because I will need to know how many bows (up to 10) and how wide the winner wants it made (6' max).
It will look like a giant arrow with either a oversized Razorhead or Deadhead BH, shaft and fletching colors are also up to winner.
Mounting hardware included.
Hope everyone puts there name in the hat.
My son will pick a name next Friday night (5/08)
Thanks for all the help over the years

Kurt,
Happy Birthday and congrats on the no smoking...I took on that challenge 17yrs. ago and it was the best thing I ever did for myself. Please add my name to the hat for the rack...very COOL!!
-
Kurt- Happy Birthday and kudos on the habit. Got down to 1/2 pack per day and can't get past the last hurdle myself. I've done some stupid things in my life but smoking has to top everything else. Oh, yeah, put my name in the pot and thanks. Grant Young

Happy B-day and put me in, I need to cover that rack up in Bears :)

Happy bday Kurt! Glad to hear your leaving he smokes behind you! It was Copenhagen for me, I gave it up for the last time fifteen years ago. It's mono e mono man, kick their butt!
I would love a chance at your custom bow rack, thanks and remember just when you think you can let your guard down is when you have to be the toughest. Greg

Happy b-day. please put me in.

Congrats Kurt
Quittin' Smokin' ain't so hard...I done it hundreds of times. Staying quit...now that's another issue.
One piece of advice that I think evryone will agree on. Once you have quit, never, never, never touch another one. If you smoke one, just to see how it will be, you will be smokin' again. I know this from first hand experience, again, and again, and again.
Many X smokers will tell you that they could pick one up right now, no matter how long they have quit. If you do...you're done.
Remember, you're not an X Smoker...you're a Smoker in recovery...for the rest of your life.
Put my name in.

Keep up with the non smoking. Please put me in also.

Happy Birthday, and even happier you quit the habit. I gave it up over 25 years ago and have not missed it.
Thanks for the chance at the rack...put me in.

Happy Bday Kurt!!
Almost 20 yrs for me, I still enjoy a cigar from time to time though :banghead:
I'd like in on the rack too please.
-
My experience quitting for good was 12 years ago.I watched my father in-law suffer and eventually die from emphysema.I did eventually smoke a cigerette after a couple months and even though I thought I really wanted one it reminded me why I quit.The best advice I can give you is make the habit NOT smoking and it will be easier.
YOU CAN DO IT!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
Add me to the list. Thanks Ron

Please what ever you do stay off the cigs! I am watching my mother slowley kill herself by still smoking! She is 65, on oxygen 24/7, can't walk the length of her house without almost passing out and hacking up whats left of her lungs! Congrats on making up your mind to finally quit!
Please add my name in the hat.

Two things
This is not the bow rack, made with broken bows.It is a oversize looking arrow with places for your bow's to hang vertically.
Anyone trying to quit any nicotine product, try chantix.It is amazing.
Thanks Kurt
-

Please put my name in the hat for the bow rack please.

Kurt,
Happy birthday.
Quitting is the best gift you can give your family, and yourself. It's not fun watching someone waste away.
Keep up the good work. I'm sure it's not easy, but hang in there, you've got lots of moral support from the posts I've read.
Please put me in for the bowrack.

Kurt,
Happy Birthday! And congrats on the non smoking, I quit myself on my 47th B-day, almost 7 years now.
My wife quit 4 months ago, but it took a bout with Lung Cancer to get her to see the light. She's about beat it because it was caught very early, but it definitely put the scare in her.
Think your give away is a great way of celebrating.
Oh Yeah, Put my name in the hat!
Congrats again, :thumbsup: :clapper: :clapper:

Congrats Kurt,
Quit the damn things myself back in '83, and NEVER regretted it! (Look at all the money I saved to buy more toys, :D AND I'm still healthy enough to play with 'em!!)

At 5 feet 4 inches I weighed 200 pounds, drank a case of beer a day and smoked 2 packs a day. My doctor said, "Bill, you've just got to stop smoking."
That's how dangerous he considered smoking.
I did, and later gave up the gluttony and booze.
At 62, I'm in far better health and shape than I was at 42.
If I can do it, anyone can do it!
Put me in for the rack too, please.
Bill
-
That's great Kurt and I myself have stopped smoking cold turkey and drinking...The smokes about 14 yeare ago the booze will be ten years this Oct. 31st...I couldn't have done this without "God" picking me up when I was ready to stumble...Please include me in the drawing if you don't mind and Thank you... :clapper: Keefers <")))><

Hey Kurt happy birthday and congrats on quitting the smoking. I never smoked, my habit was the smokeless kind and quit that after 15 years of pretty heavy use. Been off of it for 15 years now.
The bear coin that I received is incredible and if your bow racks are anywhere near as nice, I'd love to have one.
Please put my name in the hat.
Brian
