Ok, I have not done this in a while and it is time. I will let this run for two weeks. This is how it works:
If you or some one you know have alway wanted a custom bow but maybe you just have not had the means or just cold not justify laying out the cash for a custom bow then you are who I am looking for. You must be truly devoted to Traditional Archery and you may never sell the bow. If you grow tired of it You must pass it on to another deserving soul.
The bow is made by a well known and popular bowyer, it is 62" and 58#@28" and right handed.
That is all the information I am going to give right now. Once I pick a winner I will post pics prior to shipping the bow.
Please, Please do not post on this thread saying you want the bow. Send me an email at drowan11@yahoo.com or you can pm me. Tell me why you deserve the bow. That simple. After two weeks I will chose the winner and post the name and pics of the bow here.
have fun.
Danny
Danny, you something else! What I don't know...lol No, really this is so thoughtful. There are many that would love to be able to order a custom bow but can't....and here you come with this offer. You are quite a man!

Acers! Just acers on ya!

Danny you truely are a humble man. What an incredible gesture :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
(im not posting to be put in the drawing btw)
Man you two brothers are awesome , wish I could say I was in need but not so . Well done and good luck to all :0)
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :notworthy: :notworthy: :clapper: :clapper:
Would you consider asking for donations and send a bow(s) to a needy service man or women overseas?. I will gladly contribute the first donation.....just a thought!
That is a nice thing to do! I was graced by a trad ganger* this year with a 'new' to me longbow; and I love it! So; I am out of the running on this one; but I think your offer is terrific !
*(Thanks Mr Chuck )
What a gesture!!!! Can't say enough for you Danny.

Take care,

David
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
This is why I love this site. You Rowan brothers are top notch. :thumbsup:
Donny---you are just an all-around good egg, too!
cool good luck everyone
WOW!! :notworthy:
:campfire:
got any leftys your thinking about giving away?
great job, someone is going to get an awesome bow
Amazing :thumbsup:
I hope whom ever you choose truly appreciates your awesome gesture. You two fellas are top shelf
Danny; That bow sounds like it has my oldest son's name on it. Could you please consider him for selection. I am lucky enough to have two custom bows a MOAB and Big River. These were both bought pre-kids and are probably all I'll ever have.
Now thats just awesome. I wish I could come with a reason, but Im doing pretty good on bows for a newbie.
Can we throw someone else in, say a dude one of my bows is lent out to? :D
Either way, with your guy's outstanding taste in archery tackle...someone is going to score and score big. Im still shaking my head.....awesome thing to do.
Great gesture, Danny! I'm sure the bow will go to the right person.
That's one heck of guy there. Your an inspiration!
Don't need one but YOU DA MAN!!!!!
Danny and Donny :thumbsup: :thumbsup: R.B.
CLASS ACT!!! I have more than I can shoot...I certainly hope this goes to a most deserving person. Brian
I'm in awe with this generous act! :notworthy:
Oh man you guys are killing me. I'm NOT going to even ask to be in this one. I'm siting here waiting for the two I was just lucky enough to be granted.
What a wonderful place Trad Gang is. Best folks ever if you ask me.
It has been said but i will say it again.CLASS ACT.
only on TG!
:clapper:
thats is a very good gesture, true honest people are few and far between. way to go guys
At it again are ya, Danny? - bless your heart. I know the bow will go to a deserving (and lucky) person.
Wow, Thats awesome man!
Very generous Danny! It's people like you that make this site what it is! :bigsmyl: ;)
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
:thumbsup: :notworthy: :clapper:
Kudos to you. That is a very special thing you are doing. I would like it, but I have a production longbow, recurve and a custom bow. Unless you take sympathy on me and decide that I am deserving. LOL
you da man danny :notworthy: :notworthy:
Wow, your generosity serves as a great example for us all. I would love a custom bow, but I could never accept this one knowing that there are many others more deserving than I.
It is so refreshing to browse this site and see so many topics like this one.
Your idea is brilliant in its simplicity and generosity! Kudos.
Awesome Danny!!!
Good on ya, Danny and Donald. I know of the perfect person...but dang if I can remember his name! Met him at a shoot here, quiet, sorta skinny young fella with a young family, little money, shoots a 'rough' ash TD recurve he made himself and shoots it very well...can only imagine what he'd do with a better bow. Hope whoever gets yours is as deserving! :thumbsup:
man what a guy!!
your awsome!
Incredible gesture. That is very nice to give a custom bow away.
Imagine if everyone were even 1/2 as generous as the Rowan boys. Very cool!
Burnsie

Danny you're too cool dude.
Ive been a lurker here for a little while now, searching classifieds and what not.. I had to register once I saw this post.. VERY impressed to say the least!
Well since the nominations have dried up, have not heard from anyone in a day or so. I went through all the nominations and narrowed it down to 10 people based on their writeups of why they wanted the bow. I wrote their names on pieces of paper and had my wife draw the winner from my hat. Dave House aka 2Knives is the winner. Here is what you won!

62",58#@28",Brackenbury Quest. Wenge core limbs with quilted bubinga vaneers. Not sure on riser woods. It is a shooter and a keeper.
Dave I need your address to send the bow to.
I want to thank everyone who sent in emails and PMs either nominating themselves,friends,siblings,spouses. You are all winners in my book and I regret that I only have one bow to give away.

There were over 300 emails and pms for me to go through so it was no easy taks to weed it down to 10 finalists. Many well thought out writeups ,some long, some short and sweet.
Danny
great thing you did danny, dont suppose you have any lh bows to give away?
Hopefully I'll be able to kill something with her...standing beside you.
Better yet...watch you kill something with her!
Next deployment that goes to Guam...I'LL BE THERE!!!!
Again...thanks!
Dave
Congratulations 2Knives and thank you Mr. Rowand for such a wonderful opprotunity. Trad Gang sure is a great place :clapper:
Ya know, you are not just getting the bow. My brother is sending you a set of custom arrows and snag is sending you some custom limb bolts so ya should be set up nice. I would be honored to hunt with you if you get over here, being in AMMO you would be in the best area for hunting on island,MSA on Anderson AFB, overrun with Sambar deer and pigs.
Danny
:clapper:
Congrats 2knives, looking forward to seeing some hero pics come next season.
And to Danny, I don't know you personally but judging by this selfless act, I could only hope to know you better in the future. This is truly an inspirational gesture on your part. On behalf of all the members, Thank You. Tim

Giving away a custom bow like that is just too much. Like I told you earlier, you are a good guy, Danny Rowan. Congratulations, Dave...that bow has some serious Mojo!!
Congratulations Dave. Looks like you have a great shooter.
Again way to go Danny
:thumbsup:
Hey 2knives, I will be sending you some custom arrows that should work very well out of the bow. Six will have field points and six broadheads. Also a strap on bow quiver. Hope it all works for you.
Donald
