Title: Who needs a bow for this season???
Post by: Onions on August 17, 2010, 10:35:00 PM
Due to the diffucult times , I know there are a number of fellows on this site that have had to sell bows to keep there lives going or just don't have the extra money to buy one for one of there kids.
I have a 62" 57lb Roberstson Falcon (3-piece), that is just sitting on the shelf. Very smooth, shooting bow. (Feels more like low 50lb range.)
I am willing to send it out to whoever NEEDS a bow for this season.
Two requirements:
1- Whoever recieves the bow must post on TG what they have shot/missed or just pix hunting with the bow throughout there season.
2- At the end of the season,  send it back (I will be pay return posage). (Maybe someone else can shoot it next season.)
I will send the bow with extra string, shooting glove, and bow quiver.
I don't have any arrows for the bow right now. It shoots 2117's very well, along with 55-60lb woodies. Maybe someone here can put some arrows up???

You can add a 3rd offer identical to Onions to anyone in need.

Most but not all of my bows are right handed so a lefty might be able to be helped too.

God bless with the love of Christ

Awsome guys here for sure.

When I first joined the Gang one of my first ten post was about fixing a recurve I dropped a stand on. Not only did I get great advice on hoe to repair the bow but I had several offers for loaners for the season. I got the bow fixed up and it still shoot to this day and didn't need a loaner but was greratful for the offers. I sold to bow Papafrank and to my knowledge he's still shooting her.

Got to love this place!

Post by: JackP on August 18, 2010, 12:12:00 PM
Well I thought that I was going to need the bow, seeing how I needed to sell my first recurve to have some extra cash for school because working as a waiter just doesn't always cut it.  Than to make matters worse, my bow decided to break.  

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss285/jcpattee/Bowhunting/0624001856-1.jpg

(Sorry can't seem to get my picture small enough to post)

I thought that I was going to be out of a bow for the hunting season. Then I find out that Chris is going to be sending me the bow to hunt with this season, and it's a Robertson! I have always wanted to shoot one!

So I let my mom know about this generous offer that Chris has offered to me and she tells me that I will not be needing that bow because her and my dad have bought me a replaced Whisperstik, which was the bow that broke.

It was suppose to be a surprise, when it got to the house is when they were going to tell me about it, but they went ahead and told me now so someone else can have a chance with this bow!

Long story short I am not in need of this bow any more! It is one hell of an offer by Chris! Very generous! Thanks for the opportunity anyways!

I did this a couple of years ago and it was a great experience... I got constant hunting up-dates and made a "good friend" thru loaning him a bow.... I'm sorry I forgot to do it again this year, but have had "family issues" going on ... and forgot this year... I'll try and do it again next year also.

Awesome gesture!!

I would like to put in for my friend Donald Hall.  

I tried helping him out with an old Pearson Pony but the thing delaminated on him. He's young with 5 kids and hard for him to purchase a new bow. I know they need to put as much meat in the freezer as possible and our bow season is the best time for this.

Post by: Onions on August 18, 2010, 05:48:00 PM
WOW! Thanks for all the kind words!
As you can see from JackP post above he no longer needs the bow for this season.

(Congrats JackP on the new Whisperstik, great bows from a great guy!)

So.....since Arwin was the next person to put his name in the hat for the bow, it will be for him to give to a buddy.

Arwin...I sent you a PM

Look what came in today!    :clapper:    

Thanks Chris and Eric, this is awesome! Yesterday we pruned out a spot for a treestand and kicked up deer on the way in. Should be a very good freezer filler!!
I can't wait till Don gets to shoot this bow!! Shoots GT 55/75 with 150 up front very nicely.   :D
