Title: Need Help Finding Demo Mojostik!!!!!
Post by: longbowjim on March 08, 2009, 11:45:00 AM: I sent out 3 demo bows about a year ago and only had 2 of them ever returned. I asked for honesty on the program. If anyone can help me find this bow and get it back to ne I would really appreciate it. It is the only bow that that I ever used Honduran rosewood in. It has ash limbs and antler tips. I will look up the serial # and post some pics later today. If I can locate this bow, I may consider sending another demo around. Thanks JD

Post by: Jason Kendall on March 08, 2009, 11:49:00 AM: Ouch, I feel your pain Jim, Hopefully it works out for you. I had one MIA for 6 months and we knew who had it but he said he never received it! After a bit of pressure he said he found it in his coat closet, his wife must have put it there and never told him it showed up!

I did'nt have as much as you have invested but still bothersome. The Traditional Family as a whole, is the greatest.Please, whatever the outcome, don' let a bad apple spoil it for the rest of the great pie!

Post by: The Great Jashu on March 08, 2009, 03:19:00 PM: I think they need a little more info on which bow it was JD. Like length and poundage. Its out there and someone will know who has it.
Title: Re: Need Help Finding Demo Mojostik!!!!!
Post by: longbowjim on March 08, 2009, 04:06:00 PM: It was a 60" Mojostik. It was between 45 and 48#@28". It didn't have a serial# on it because it was a demo. Here are a couple of pics of it.

Post by: longbowjim on March 08, 2009, 04:11:00 PM: if it was broken or damaged by someone I would just like to know. Crap happens. I would rather get it back in pieces than think that someone wanted a free bow out of the deal. After all, when I started the post I asked that people emailed or pm'd me when they got the bow. That only lasted about 3 months and I never heard another word. I just let it keep going, hoping that is was still getting into some new hands. JD

Post by: heydeerman on March 08, 2009, 08:22:00 PM: I was on the list to get this bow so if someone can locate the original thread it never made it to me. The last I heard there was maybe 6 people in front of me and then no one was talking about this anymore. I thought JD stopped it till he told me about this a few months back.

Post by: leatherneck on March 09, 2009, 03:27:00 PM: Hate to see a great program like this go to waste. It gives people a chance to shoot a bow before buying/ordering one. I know the mods are doing what they can to help JD. Lets get it back folks!!!! Thanks JD for the opportunity.

Hey Brian, put it out there, who did you send it to?

I will be putting another 56" Kajika Stik demo out within a month or so. This time I will have some kind of check in to keep track of things. Thanks for all of the help thus far. JD

I have been away from the computer for a bit with the flu so I was interested when I found my name being pitched about. JD I sent your bow off to Ilbowhunter1. The address I sent it to was:

I hope this helps track it down.

Post by: razorsharptokill on March 11, 2009, 06:37:00 AM: Very sad. It is possible that there is an explanation like maybe he passed away and family have no idea about tradgang and that bow. NOT LIKELY but possible.

Having said that... in this day and age some people just have no shame. This is why everyone is doubtful about it being a mistake, myself included. I hope it turns up and in good shape!

Post by: Phillip Parker on March 11, 2009, 07:59:00 PM: Wow, I hadn't realized that it had been a year since the sign up for this bow. I had even forgotten that I had been in line to give it a try. I can tell you that I was next after Greg Keith and I have not seen it either. By looking at the old thread neither has he. Sorry I missed out on what everyone says would be a sweet shooter. Jim,all I can say is I would appreciate it if you keep me in mind if you ever do another pass around. Hope everything works out for you

Title: Re: Need Help Finding Demo Mojostik!!!!!
Post by: bentpole on March 13, 2009, 05:22:00 PM: It's a shame. That's why most bowyers refuse to send out "try before you buy bows". Pretty soon if this keeps up the bowyer will have every right to charge your credit card full price for the bow plus shipping both ways. Then when he gets it back safe and sound he'll credit your account less the shipping both ways. Black Widow does this. I had the chance to shoot two of JD's bows. I would never think of trying to keep a bowyers demo bow or bows. Just ain't right. Bowyers gentleman enough to trust you, you should be man enough to mail it back. My 2 cents.

Post by: wingnut on March 14, 2009, 02:42:00 PM: You know everyone is assuming someone stole the bow. And it is a possibility. However, it's more likely that it got lost in shipping from one place to another and that USPS or UPS has it somewhere.

Who was the last person that admits too having it and who did they ship it too. And what is the confirmation number for the shipping?

Mike

Post by: 2treks on March 14, 2009, 04:34:00 PM: Good job Mike. I hope the bow is found for the bow maker, but this was sounding like a lynch mob for a minute. I hope it was an honest mistake.

I dunno, all I know is JD deserves better..even if it was just better communication..

Title: Re: Need Help Finding Demo Mojostik!!!!!
Post by: 2treks on March 15, 2009, 08:19:00 AM: I agree Dave, Communication is at fault most of the time. And it does make you sick to think someone MAY have been a little sneaky with getting a new bow, or a bit lazy with keeping up on the demo share program. I hope it all ends well for sure.

Title: Re: Need Help Finding Demo Mojostik!!!!!
Post by: longbowjim on March 15, 2009, 11:47:00 PM: Just for the record, the guy that may have the bow, had a bow on order and cancelled it right around the time the demo was getting to his name. Whoever has it, I hope that they are enjoying it. That is what the bow was meant for. I had hoped for it to see more people before it came to an end though. I still plan to get a demo of my new Kajika stik going arounf whether or not I get this one back. If someone doe happen to come across it, please give me a shout. If not, we can let the past stay in the past. There isn't a single person that hasn't made a mistake in their life. All of the help and concern is very appreciated. Thanks- JD
Title: Re: Need Help Finding Demo Mojostik!!!!!
Post by: rbbhunt on March 16, 2009, 10:35:00 AM: I think that if JD is kind enough to send anotehr demo around, maybe the sender should PM JD and the receiver when it was shipped,etc and then the receiver could PM JD and the sender to let them know he got it and then if it is a lost in the mail, the when and where will be known and JD should always know where the bow is. I sure was looking forward to trying it out.
Title: Re: Need Help Finding Demo Mojostik!!!!!
Post by: Terry Green on March 16, 2009, 01:30:00 PM: Well....I haven't had a reply to the email I sent reguarding the bow.

Not sure what happened either, but the lack of communication sure is sending up smoke signals.

I'll give it another day or two, and then deal with the two registraitions if I don't hear back.

I'm close by and can make the time if you want some company.
