:readit:I know this is a long shot!!! :help: :help:
Last May I moved to WI and mailed my bows ahead of me. Due to miscommunication, I was under the impression they all made it. Unfortunately I am now starting to unpack and find I am short one package. I am hoping the bow ended up being sold off to someone on here eventually.
I am missing a Big River Long Bow 45 @ 28. Chechen Riser with red accent stripe. Dirty Bamboo on the bely and curly Maple on the back. There are 2 distinct stains, one on the upper limb and one on the lower limb. The Bow has the word "Dad" written on it and I believe my Name.
I mailed this through USPS but no longer have the receipt.
If you have this bow or know of its whereabouts, please let me know. It is a very special bow to me, not only was it my first, but it got me and my dad back into archery and I took my first archery deer with it.
The other bow in the lost package was a self bow made by Trad Ganger Glenbow and gifted to me. Its a beautiful Osage bow. I took my first chipmunk via bow with it.
These 2 bows were of the 3 I would never sell.
Thank you in advance.
Respectfully,
Charlie Janssen :pray:

Thank you to the Trad Gang Members who have offered help so far.
Call outs to Big Ed and Fred Cioffi. Both Class acts... No I have not had a reunion with these bows but I have a little hope and renewed faith in humanity. Thank you again.

I remember that deer!! Hope you find that bow. It is probably sitting in the back of some self collecting dust in a warehouse. I would call and try to find out where the bow went through and start calling and ask them to look around.

Thank you friends for the bump ups. I received a similar bow for Christmas. Still not the same but it helps the pain a smidgen.
I will have to start making new memories with it.

Glen, there was a 43lb osage selfbow inbthat package as well. You are probably familiar with its origin. Broke my heart to mention to you.
-
Can we see pictures of the bows today? 4 years!!!
Fill us in with how the package arrived. C'mon, don't leave us hanging! (Packages don't just "show up" after 4 years)
-
That is great to hear.
I once sent a check for a hog hunt in Hog Heaven. It took three months to get there. Ray sent it back to me, in pristine condition.
Sure hope your bow also arrived in the same shape as you sent it.
Congrats, and enjoy it.
-
4 years later!!!! Unbelievable :thumbsup:
-
I knew it would show up…….
-
That is near miracle status!!!
Glad it finally made it!!
-
Amazing...!!... great that you got the bows back.
-
Stunned! Praying they arrived in excellent shape.
-
Good things happen to good people.

Where in the heck was it?? For 4 years??

I must confess. This is not a postal issue. Package arrived as scheduled and unharmed. It was stored away for safe keeping however was out of sight when it fell inside of a bifold door at my folks house. You could imagine my surprise when my dad left it on my doorstep.
-
Been there, done that! Not with a bow(s) but other things.
Funny story.
-
It is good to hear that you got your bow back. Now go kill a big deer with it, so we can get an updated picture of your bow.
-
Glad you found your bows, brother!!!
(Gee, that story rings a bell LMAO)
-
Glad you found it. Amazing 4 year adventure :clapper:
-
Awesome!!!
:campfire: :coffee: :archer2:

Glad you found it! I had a similar experience with my Swarovski binoculars. I was sure I had left them hanging in a tree or dropped them on the way out of the woods. Eventually I found them tucked away in an unexpected place.
It speaks well of you that you told us the whole story, you could have easily omitted that information.
Thanks for the update,
Gary
