Title: Two Youth bows to be given away March 17
Post by: Mike Mecredy on February 18, 2017, 02:06:00 AM: Get your kids signed up, I'll be making Two St. paddy's green pup longbows for the TGMM Youth Bow program, and we'll be drawing the names on St. Patrick's Day in the evening.

Winner just agrees to post a pic of his/her kid and the bow on the Tradgang.com pow wow for us all to see the future bowhunter. Once the kid out grows the bow, he/she shall pass it along to another lucky kid.

Good luck :D

Post by: Trunkdog15 on March 01, 2017, 06:53:00 PM: I have an 8 year old daughter Ellye that is outside "shooting" my 45lb recurve right now. I have her enrolled in an archery class through home school, but it's using a Genesis compound that we can't bring home. She loves being outside with me and my recurve and longbow. I'd love for her to be able to shoot a quality longbow before the compound ruins her on trad. Thanks

Title: Re: Two Youth bows to be given away March 17
Post by: ronp on March 17, 2017, 07:22:00 PM: Then I went to one of those websites that pick random numbers. In this instance, #1 through #46. I made up a target in Excel, and put in the random numbers. Top to bottom, left to right. I guess it sounds a whole lot more complicated than it really is. Shucks, I figured it out!

Title: Re: Two Youth bows to be given away March 17
Post by: ronp on March 17, 2017, 07:26:00 PM: Then I went out in the snow and stapled the "target" on my block target I won at the OxTAR shoot we attend every year here in NY when the snow melts (really good shoot to attend, by the way).
