Title: 2 youth bows to a good home(s)
Post by: red44 on June 07, 2009, 10:53:00 PM
I've been meaning to do this for a while. St Judes kick me in the butt. I have a youth wood longbow approx 15-20lbs (RH) and an Indian all fiberglass approx 30-35lbs (RH/LH) to give to kids who might not elsewise be able to get a bow. Not to be resold. I've turned a couple kids on over the years with other bows and gear and there is'nt anything better. Reaching out now with the last 2 my kids have outgrown to go to deserving kids. Sorry, but there were no surviving arrows. I'd like to get this done soon. Got a few pics.

This Indian is farly stout to pull. Keep that in mind.
Post up if you have a good home.

This is a give-away, not a sale. I'll cover shipping.

Put my name in the hat for the 15-20lb Longbow. My niece and nephew (6&11, respectively) love trying to shoot my Montana, but it's just too big for them.

My bud Danny(Ric O'Shay)here on TradGang has a couple of grandsons who would make good use of these bows. Jacob, the oldest, had his bow break at the recent Chester shoot we attended. Would sure like to get these for the kids. Thanks for your generosity.  :thumbsup:

I would like them for my daughters Brigette (6) and Ruby (3), The fiberglass one might be a little too much # but I guess they could grow into it?

I have only been a member for about a week but this is why I joined! Great people, great advice! I have 4 kids but I can still afford to keep them in bows and arrows for now but its nice to know there is a community of good like minded people out there if you need them. Great of you to do this!

Please add my name for the wooden bow.  My daughter (8 years old) has one but she has a friend we take with us to shoots who would love it!  Her name is Lexi and her birthday is coming up too.

Put me in for the 15 to 20# one.  My neighbor kid is 6 and loves retrieving my arrows but can't shoot anything I have.  Thanks.

Mr. Batchelder -
My name is Jacob. I am 7 years old. Here I am at Denton with my old bow. I won 2nd Place in the Cubs that day. My Papa told me that you were giving away a bow. He showed me the pictures and they are very nice. I would very much like to have either one because mine broke a few weeks ago when I was at Chester with my Papa and his friend Mr. Turner. Another nice man let me use one of his bows bow for the tournament. Please place my name on your list. Thank you Mr. Batchelder for being kind.
Your friend,
Jacob

OK, the wood bow is going to scrub-buster and
the red indian to Willrett.
Congrats to both, and PM me with your address's so I can get them on the way. Have fun with them, and pass them on to someone else when your kids outgrow them.
