I have a Blue Ridge Archery Classic longbow I would like to give to someone in need. Do to braken my neck and having two plates and cable put in my neck I have to go way down in waight. The bow is in great shape. 64" 56#@27" cocobolo riser, osage limbs, clear glass, and snake skins. It also has elk horn tips. The bow looks like almost new. I took good care of it. I am also a disable vet and since I only get paid once a month I wont be able to ship it ontill the 31st. I will pull a name from a hat on this sunday. Merry christmass and god bless. John
Thats a damn nice thing to do right there! Merry Christmas and thanks for your service.
HooYah!
Rooster, very generous offer. Hope someone gets it that really needs it, count me out...PR
Good luck to the winner,thank you for the generous offer.But I don't need a bow,so don't add me to the drawing.
Good deal, would like to have it, but will defer to someone out there who needs it. Wish I could help you out with a replacement, but mine are in a similar weight range.
sounds awesome, very generous, i don't have a long bow and i'm just starting out so i would love to have a chance at it, count me in, if i qualify. thanks :)
I just wanted to say thanks for your service, and I think you are a kind and generous human being. I am in no need of a bow, so please DO NOT add me, I just had to say thanks.
Thanks BWD but i did work out a trade on a longbow.
John thats a great thing your doing.I hope your neck doesn't give you to much trouble. Don't put me in, Im happy with my bow.
Please throw me in the hat. Thanks so much for the chance. Hope your neck gets better soon.
Man, that's a heck of a Christmas gift particularly after having such a stroke of bad luck.
Hang in there. The Lord does things we can't understand and He works all things to the good. It's just a heck of a deal tryig to understand it all.
Please put my name "in the hat" too.
Please put me in the hat, not for myself, but for my son or grandson. They are both wanting a longbow and are at present shooting recurves. Would love to give them one of my longbows, but I don't have one light enough for them to draw.
Thanks, and good luck with the rehab!
Please put me in the hat!
Thanks for the opportunity!
John,
Thank you for the most generous offer. My buddy that brought me hunting last month is also disabled. I just ordered a new longbow for his grandkids today. He was tickled. He has been able to pull my bow back and is gaining strength. It would be nice for it to go to another rehabilitating archer.
PUT ME IN PLEASE! =0)
Thank you,
Andrew
JV Rooster, shoot me a pm I'll cover shipping for ya. Might be able to get it to the lucky guy by Xmas

John,
I am the idiot who hurt himself out hunting and in a panic left his brand new bow behind. I am not in the drawing for this bow. I see that you found a replacement, but you cannot ship until the end of the month. How are you set for arrows for the lighter bow?
Paven I am verry sorry you got hurt and left your bow behind. I hope you got it back. I am still using my old arrows. 60-65# spine. the new bow i got is 40# I know its a little to much in spine but there working. Thank you very much.John
No, I think someone is still trying to figure out what to do with a short draw left handed longbow. What kind of arrows do you shoot?
DON'T put my name in, God bless and good luck,
Very good of you. Please add me in.
Paven, I have a mix wood and carben.
As I stated in an earlier post, I'd love to be in this drawing but am just too new to trad. hunting. It is best served going to someone else.
I mentioned that this board is just unbelieveable in the other thread as well.
Tim
What a nice offer! I don't wish to be included, although it sounds like a great bow, and money is tight, I wouldn't feel right about it, as I have a job and archery tackle to shoot. I hope that it goes to a good person who is unemployed and in TRUE need of a longbow. It is gestures like this that warm the heart and reassure me that this is the best Trad forum in the world. God Bless you Sir!
Awesome trad christmas spirit.
Please be so kind as to add me to the list, sir. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity. It is a gift in and of itself.
