Title: Here's an odd request - would like to rent a bow for a month or so
Post by: ScottinPA on July 26, 2013, 09:55:00 AM

Like the title says, looking to rent a bow. I'm finishing up radiation and chemo treatment for cancer and was trying to maintain for my shooting my lightest bow but its too much for me now (73# @27.5") Looking for something in the 65#@28". A month would get me thru the treatments and two weeks into the recovery stage. I have 5-6 2117's that I suspect will work at that draw weight but have access to other alum if needed.
Let me know what you have.
I appreciate it...

Scott

Scott what is your drawlength? I have a bamboo backed hickory R/D longbow, that is way to much for me, but it is 66@28. The only reason I am asking about the DL is was only tiller out at 28-29".

Dude,

These old bones got nothing in the 60's... but i sent you an email... No RENT considered, but you can borrow some...lighter...then move up.

Let's keep this up top... You might be shocked how much you need to drop to keep great form after what your body's been through... :eek: :saywhat:

Currently shooting RH Silvertip recurves. My lightest 'tip is 73# lbs at my 27.5" and I'm about an inch from full draw. Looking at a bow that will allow me to hit full draw.

Thanks

Congratulations on wrapping up treatment. I cannot begin to imagine...

If I had something for you I'd send it your way without hesitation. I don't, but I wish I did.

Best of luck to you and your health.

BTW I do have access to a 55# locally (guy I helped get started) but really want to try a mid-60's if I can.

Thanks for the well wishes and offers.

I have no bow that would work, but I know a Man who can bring the healing! I'll pray he'll continue to intervene in a speedy recovery.
