I was one of the lucky few that got to share and shoot The Little Delta bow !
Best with the Raffle , and hope the lucky person realizes just how special this bow truly is .....
Post by: Terry Green on August 22, 2022, 01:54:51 PM
This bow was on the 2nd journey to Alaska when Glenn St Charles rounded up another bunch of rowdy rogues to go into the wilderness to stay in the cabin they built the 1st year.
This hunt was accompanied by Fred Bear as well. The book 'Bows on the Little Delta' is one of many a bow hunters favorite books. This is because its not just a hunting book, but an adventure book as well. It is also my favorite hunting book by far just because of the idea, fortitude, prep, and determination along with the adventure this book takes you along.
The bow in the raffle was owned by a guy named Bill Brown, that again was included in the 2nd hunt of Glenn's adventure to the 'Little Delta'. It is a Bear bow, 64"s - 59#@28 Bear Kodiak.
This bow was hunted by close to 100 bowhunters after that as it was passed around for years. It ran the gambit on Tradgang as well till it finally got offered up on the St Jude forum where Tradgang procured it for a very hansom fee of over $3200 back in 2007.
I don't have any sons, nor any grandsons to pass it down to, and I would like for it to go to a Tradganger that would 'Carry the Torch' so to speak and keep the memory of it alive.

As you can see, there are two small holes on the back of the riser. Those were drilled for site and stabilizer back in the day. They were filled in by a bowyer years ago and are in no threat to the operation of the bow.

Doug Campbell, Mark Baker, Kent Brown, brother Bob, and myself, went on a Texas hog hunt before the PBS Banquet in San Antonio. Doug killed a nice pig the first night, then the rest of us each had a morning or evening to hunt with it. I think Mark and brother Bob both took something with it.

A bit heavy for me, but just holding it, was a humbling experience!! :notworthy:
My oldest son Big Bear (Kevin) got to hunt with it, and even missed a bunny with it, at Shawn's bunny hunt!!
Shawn developed a "pass around" where after a drive, whichever stander had the "Little Delta Bow" would pass it to another, and they would "trade" bows, to insure as many folks got to hunt with it as possible.
It was after dark, when my son got his bow back.
Someone hollered... "Hey!!! Kevin Nelson! I've got your bow!!"

But with these chances Terry Green may buy tickets!!! :readit:
If so, I will have to film every name as it goes into the hat for the drawing by the 3rd party drawer if so. Which BTW, I will be glad to do.
I sure hope there are more out there that are hanging onto our history. There was plenty of competition during that Auction when Tradgang won this bow and it still would have went for over $3000 if Tradgang wouldn't have won it. Seems a lot has changed over the last 17 years.
I only hope there are enough guys that have the passion for the sport to pass it on. I remember Ron LaClair saying, "We were wondering who would carry the torch on the internet" shortly after Tradgang was started. Now, so am I.

Post by: woodchucker on September 12, 2022, 10:13:23 PM
Do you only pop up out of your hole to start trouble???
If you read Terry's posts... Ron LaClair said, "Who will carry the torch for us on the internet??"
The title of the thread reads "Platform Software Raffle 1 - Historic Little Delta Bow"
This raffle is being held to raise money for new software to keep TradGang running....
As our departed Brother Ron said, "To carry the torch on the internet"
Yes, Terry did reserve the right to cancel the raffle, and refund everyone's money, should there not be enough interest... TradGang purchased the bow for $3,200. Selling it for $1,000 is just plain STUPID!!!
If any member here, does not feel that buying new software to improve TradGang is a needed investment...
Then don't buy a ticket!!!!!

He has 25 posts... In 9 years... :readit:
Hmmm, let's see... 9x3=27 Maybe someone who only posts 3 times a year (actually less)
Should mind their own damn business, and keep their comments to themselves... :knothead:

So...... did you ever straighten the limb?
Yes years ago.... guess you weren't paying attention.
Post by: Whip on September 14, 2022, 01:32:25 PM
I do know what happened with the Little Delta Bow during the auction, and so does Terry. Mike is not the villian and those who know, know.
If anyone cares to hear it they can contact me directly. You'll probably need to call or email me though because I'm guessing I won't be allowed here anymore.
So be it. I'm screen shooting this one though so it can't be erased.

Looks like some temper got heated while I was off line. Anyhow, that's all cleaned up now.
I will be drawing for the bow tomorrow so that will give people on more day but buy a ticket if they like. Going to dinner with my mom and she will draw out the winner. I remember having my girls draw out names when they where young and I posted their videos here.
Anyway, tomorrow at 8 PM sounds about right. Sorry for the delay, but its been a mad house!!!
