Lots of folks on here go the extra mile for others. Well, I was the recepient of this today. I had bid on and won a dozen arrows during the St.Jude's Auction. The arrows arrive today. Upon opening it and looking at these fine 80#-85# ACME shafts there was a different colored shaft in the middle of the bundle...? I pull it out and darned if it was a "bakers dozen"...the 13th shaft is a footed shaft that has been stained. The footing is in the tip AND the nock end. Pretty darn cool.
These shafts are from Port Orford cedar trees that most likely grew here in Oregon only a 1/2 days drive from where I live. They were sold by a man that lives here in Oregon...now they are back home in Oregon. They are well traveled!
Thanks Mark. :wavey: Thanks for you generosity and for all you have done in serving our country, keeping this the land of the free and home of the brave. :clapper:
Mark is a great guy. Last week he made 10 custom strings for people and gave them for free.
He's always doing something for someone.
It's good to have someone like Mark as a friend.

I've known him for over 20 years, hard to find a nicer person on this planet. :notworthy:
Sorry guys I am at work with no dig. camera for pictures....tonight.
That's cool!
You know, Snag is a pretty good guy too...he once sent me a Bitzenberger clamp and wouldn't take anything for it. TragGang is full of good guys!

Sorry for the poor pics. I really need to invest in a better camera this year...it really is the camera's fault.... :saywhat:
He's a Wes Wallace bow fan so he must be alright.
Great guy to deal with.
Your lucky you won them Snag LOL!! Mark is a great guy and that arrow looks great. If those shafts don't work for ya, send them my way :)
I'll keep that in mind Steadman...but I think they will work just fine.
Wow.. Thank you for the kind words... Now David put those shaft to use.....
I'd like him a lot better if he'd let me win a 3D shoot once and a while!
The Dude is the real Deal!

It's always nice to find a "surprise" in a package!
I'll do my best Mark! Just found out I drew a Nov. rut buck tag here in eastern Oregon! Yahooooo! That will extend my season by 10 days and give me a chance to find one of those old "stupid in love" muley bucks! I hope to post a picture of one of these arrows with a reddish-tint and a buck.
