Title: I can finally give the bow away
Post by: Pete Darby on May 09, 2007, 08:13:00 AM

A few years ago a guy say me giving an archery demo to the local tourists and said he had four bows he would give me with the proviso I would pass them on to someone who really wanted to use them.  I gave away the childs bow, the longbow and one of the recurves, but just haven't found anyone for the last recurve (50#).  Well my brother came to visit and wanted to try this archery thing out.  I think it took about five arrows to hook him.  So when he leaves he will have a new (for him) 50# bow and stringer, arrows (I bought but never used), Custom quiver(It is sometimes handy doing leather work), Custom bracer (Have to make that but it isn't rocket science) and a glove.  Now I can start work on his hunting or lack thereof.

Actually the guy didn't say me, he saw me.  If you catch me around the campfire ask about the story.  It is pretty funny.

I'll be at Baltimore for all three days.  as usual in the medieval looking encampment.  The story involve beer but not drinking, archery but not shooting, kilts and hospitality.
