I got home from work yesterday and on my kitchen counter is a package. I hadn't ordered anything for a while so wasn't expecting it.  Like a kid on Christmas morning I tore into it after seeing it was from Ryan Steadman of Hardcore Archery.

What a wonderful surprise and gift for my family and I. Ryan and I share the same faith and have communicated back and forth a few times, but I've never had the privilige of meeting the man. Well, just as a kind gesture he sends my son Tyler and daughter Jennifer two shirts each and my wife and I a beautiful tile with an applique of the church where we were married. I also got a great window decal of "the moose hunter" for my new truck!

This act of kindness means a lot to me and the kind note regarding Tyler and Jen is priceless.

I know Ryan did this without any thought of a return gift or favor, but I can assure you Ryan, the gesture will not be forgotten.

Don't you just love this place!

Ryan, you ARE the MAN!

Here is a picture of the longsleeve T that he sent for Tyler and Jen.
 

This is a short sleeve T in brown.
 

Ryan also sent a white T with a great definition of Traditional Archery - Doing it the Hard Way! I'd have a picture of that one, but one of the kids ran off wearing it before I could get a picture. Sorry for the poor photo quality, I took them with my cell phone.

This is a very special tile that Ryan made for my wife and I.
 

Hardcore Archery is a sponsor and you couldn't go wrong with the products or the man behind it!

And Ryan being unemployed for about a year now. Wow, amazes me.

Good job Ryan you are top shelf brother. Sent you a pm.

I have been very impressed with Ryan from his posts here on TradGang. He certainly has his priorities in place, with God and family at the top! Thanks for sharing Ryan's "random acts of kindness" (to use a well-known expression) that are the hallmark of truly good people who "do unto the least of these my brethren." Outward acts usually reveal the inner being, especially where they are not done to glorify oneself.

Love the shirt Ryan. Order coming your way.

Ryan is definately one of the good ones.  Always been impressed with his level of professionalism and kindness.

Ryan is a class act.  He sent my decals before I could send the money.  Now it looks like I can repay him with some shirts to order!  LOL!

Wow! Thanks guys. It was my pleasure Terry, you have some fine kids! This is an incredible site, bringing like minded folks together that we would other wise never meet. Thanks again      

Ryan is the real deal..!

   I am proud to call him my friend.

Here's a picture of the white shirt Ryan sent along. I had to chase down my son to get a photo.

 
Quit it, your giving me chills  

Congrats all look great.They are on my wish list.

I love that T shirt. I did not see apparel on the website. Did I miss it? Or is it not there?

Very cool!

Great looking shirts Ryan!

Nice shirt, if i could find it on the website I'd might order it.
