Trad Gang

Around 5 years ago I wanted to make the switch into tradional archery. I knew absolutly nothing, I picked up a few magazines and read.   I saved up my money and went to our local sporting goods store and bought a bear bruin long bow (new). It was the most beautiful thing I saw. I grabbed some arrows and went to shoot. The momuent I launched that first arrow I was hooked. I got out of it a little while, and realized that all I wanted to do is get back into it again. Since I decided that this is the path I want to take, I wanted to order a custom one that was made for me...So after a long search I called up black Widow and ordered a PMAV Take down recurve.. A while after that  as some of you may know I ordered a Black Widow plx osage long bow a few weeks ago, its one that dad had picked out a few days before he made his final journey home. So with that being said I would like to give away my first long bow. Why not sell it? Its simple, I am blessed, I dont have alot of money, but am rich in family. I want someone to recieve this who may be down on their luck financially and can't afford to but one,or are unable to get in the woods this fall because they dont have a bow. Please don't put your name in if you don"t meet one of those two things I mentioned. (put your name in if you know someone who does ). I dont want to rule anyone out by all means, I just want this to go to someone who really needs it.The pictures arent the best quality, I took them on my cell phone, since I dont have a digital camera. The bow is in good shape 7.5 out of 10, it has a few minor scratches on the lower limb due to a move. It has  around 600 arrows through it. I will draw a name on june 1st, and will post the winner then. Good luck to you all, and god bless.  Here are the specs....

Way to go Richard,

I have given away a bow here, for the same reasons you have, the richness can't be counted, and you get back so much more than you can really understand, we are so blessed by blessing others.

Thanks for being a great guy.
put don't put me in

Pastor Carl

Thanks for being willing to pass on the tradition.  Please enter my name.  I teach high school and know several kids who would love a chance to shoot traditional but can't afford to get started.  Thanks again!

Don't put me in. Very nice gesture. Hap

Bravo!  I'd like to put myself in, but not for myself.  It would be for my brother.  He is a Jr High teacher and has expressed interest in accompanying me on my hunts numerous times, but financially it is hard for him to make ends meet...
Thanks again!
Mike

Good one. Don't put me in , just had to say, Good One. I call this act, "Pay it forward"

This is why I enjoy this site. The giving never ends.

Oorahhhh!!!!! Rich.

Please do not add my name.

Well, intiially I thought I met your first requirement of financial hardship easily.(I actually do), but....since I've learned to build my own boo backed bows, I re-thought it and decide there are more deserving folks than me out there, so here's to ya Sir. Well Done!  :)

:clapper:  Thats great, Please don't add my name.

I would like to enter I have a 21yo nephew who has just started a family and is new to archery and would love to have a longbow.

I have a friends son who is using a Bear grizzly of mine.  He is young and can easily handle more weight than he is shooting now.  He likes the recurve but he really loves the look of a longbow.  Like most young folks, his money is tight.  Please enter him for your giveaway.  If he were to win and didn't like it, I would return the bow to you.  Great thing you are doing.  :thumbsup:

can you put my name in please? i am just trying to be able to afford a trad. bow!

Your generosity is overwhelming and your heart is definately in the right place. Bravo to you and God bless you for sharing and helping someone else to be able to enjoy traditional archery.
Do Not enter me. Just wanted to say good on you.   :clapper:

Please do enter me, for Nate; he's 17, wants a bow and his dad said earn the money....
He'd love to have your/his first bow.

Whomever is drawn, Congrats to Giver and Receiver.
If, it's me, I may be slow to respond from the road...Thanks for the chance.

Fantastic Gesture! Good for you! I am not in need either. Great thing you are doing here. Good luck to those that enter.

There are a couple of young men I am trying to get started. They are 20 years old. They are brothers, twins actually. They are in college and money isn't that easy to come buy for them. I have a loaner bow that is just about to come home. A 3R SS longbow. My niece is soon to get her custom bow. But I need a second bow. I would give this bow to the guys and loan mine so they each have a bow the shoot. I have tons of arrows I can give to them and can make or get some tabs and armguards. If it doesn't work out with them I will find a needy soul. I'm hoping they can make it to the Cloverdale shoot. Good job frassettor! Good job!

please have a great day and really good luck to everyone

:notworthy:  
 ATTA-BOY

Your a good'en for this gester. I know a young man (15) that has outgrown his youth bow and I would like to see him continue his interest in archery. His family is not flush but they have their priorities straight. (God and family).
Please put Nathan in. Thanks

                THANKS DANNY

Very cool!

I don't know of anyone that fits the bill for being in need of one and can't aford it.

But I do have a question. You got an armgaurd and tab/glove to go with this. I probably have some extra, cheap armgard and maybe a glove or tab that can go to the recipient. It won't be much but it would be something. I'll look tonight to see for sure. I know I have an armgaurd I haven't used... Wish I had some arrows to send too.  

Let me know

Jason,

No I dont. What a great idea.   :thumbsup:      :clapper:  It doesnt matter the cost ,its the thought and the jesture..

I'll check tonight to see what I got and pm you to get the info on where to send it. Or maybe I can just wait and send it directly to the winner.
