I'm looking for a decent recurve in the 50# range for a young man who has just returned from a two year Church mission here in Upstate New York. He had to go home for a while for surgery due to cancer. He came back and finished his work for the Lord and is now back home in AZ. He can't afford a bow and I would like to buy one and send it to him. Anybody have a good affordable bow I can buy from you. This young man said to me today, when I asked him about bowhunting mule deer around his home, that he has an old compound but it isn't the same as hunting with a recurve, but he can't afford a recurve. He really enjoyed visiting our home and seeing some of my bows and the "Man Cave".
Send me a PM if you have something.
Thank you!
Terry, He can Have my Ben Pearson Special Bow I used for bow fishing with you. I never made it out last summer, Last time I went was with you.
I know my Dad has a bunch of bows. I can buy one of them for him and have it shipped to him since I know he has been planning on thinning them out. All of them are older recurves like Brownings and such.
Give me a text or a call, we can talk about it.
PS Your PM box is full. ;)
First post on here, but I have a 45# Bear Grizzly that I just bought about 2 months ago. It's my first traditional bow, but I would be honored to give it to this young man after he's given so much to God's work. If he is interested just let me know.
Terry he needs some arrows as soon as you get a bow for him , Let me know the # and his draw, and i will make him up some (thumper arrows)
Indiana bowman, I will buy him an armguard and glove/tab. Just need his size, right or left handed and an address.
I got a bow! Tried to send you a pm. If you have a bow now tell us what else he needs. This kid sounds like a kid that is welcome to my camp anytime :campfire:
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Your mailbox is still full.
This is why I love this site. :clapper:
Ok, you guys are amazing. I really hated to ask as I normally have a bow or two to hand out. Unfortunately, I gave away my last one earlier this year.
Charlie, you need to keep your bowfishing bow. We need to make the time to go. I only went a couple times last year.
I tried to empty out some of the PM. I hope it works now.
My personal Email is Terrance.Receveur@Taconic.com. Send me a note there and we can work out the details.
Again, you guys are amazing. Craig, I'll let you know the specs.
Jon, Mike, and AZ, I really appreciate it.
He is a great young man who is having a tough time. He is likely to lose his mother this year as well, also due to cancer.
sent you a PM. The e-mail I sent failed/
Got it Jon! Thank you!
You guys are WAY too generous. MH2324 is willing to give away his personal bow. AMAZING!
This young man is also very talented. He told me he worked in silver and I had an idea for a nice Christmas present for my kids. I sent him some gator teeth and look what I got back. It has their initials on it. He filled the cavity with epoxy and built the post and silver around it. Very heavy duty and quality work. Of course, he said it was a gift for being so nice to him. That didn't fly. I hopefully made it worth his effort. Guess whose getting some bear claws next! :) If you have interest in him doing some work for you, send me your information and I'll forward it to him.

:thumbsup: Good people doing good things!! Excellent job guys.
Very awesome.
Good on ya Tradgangers! I've got an older Jaguar recurve he is welcome to have also but it is probably a bit light being 35#@28.
Good stuff guys! :clapper:
Sent you an email.
My email was returned. I have some GT 35/55's they are full length and uncut. I can help him tune them and cut them for him. Also let me know if I can help in any other way. If he needs some accessories I can buy some for him.
Just a quick update! The young man has received a great glove, armguard, broadheads, beaver silencer, string keeper, and the arrows are about done. The bow hasn't arrived yet, but soon.
Thank you again to all who have helped this young man. He is beyond grateful and happy.
You guys are the best!
Hey bud, somehow I missed this....what weight bow is he getting?
anything else needed?
Terry I have a bow, it would be ashame for someone to give you there only bow. I have plenty and would not miss it.
Thanks,
Benjy
I sent you a pm.
The generosity and helping demeanor of all these TG members is refreshing to behold.
His bow went out Yesterday as I had a time finding the right box. Should have gone out after Christmas. He got a Wing recurve 54 at 28. Sounds like a good kid!
I won't miss the bow and hope he likes it. I need to get a string sent to him. I sent him one but it is not in great shape. It is a 58" recurve.
Mike and everyone else. Truly inspirational!
He is very well taken care of and is so grateful. I'll have him get a few pictures of everything and some shooting pictures.
I'm dropping 7 big bear claws in the mail to him tomorrow to put a silver cap on them for necklaces. I'll post some photos when I get them back. He did a great job on the gator teeth.
Thanks again to everyone for all your generosity.
Good on you Terry and the rest of you folks!! :thumbsup:
Here's the arrows Craig Burris made up for him. Almost too pretty to shoot. Thank you Craig and the others who have helped this young man. Despite all he's gone through I've NEVER heard a complaint or discouraging word. Really a great kid who will be enjoying life a bit more thanks to many of you! :)

Those are sweet arrows! Those claws will look sick with the silver! Great job Terry :thumbsup:
This is why I like trad archery so much and how come I respect all of you as men and as humans. We all have a heart but for some its just not in the right place. I do believe if I was in a bad way and needed something weather it be off working in a nother state or out on vaction I could get on here and post up an sos I'm sure ya'll would come running thanks for just being you. I hope this young man does understand the jouney he has started it will get him though the ruff patches in his life. Mike
The young man loves all the great stuff he received. Here's a couple pictures of the gear. Thanks again to all the very generous donors.
