Here is the story.I am a foreman for a flooring company and we are doing a big hospital job.There is a lot of problems with the concrete on the job so its job meeting after job meeting.Owners and estimators calling me all day long,just seemed like one of those days when nothing was getting done and nothing could go right.So I am trying to get something done and my phone rings for about the 50th time today,I look and the number says its from GA.Well I dont know anyone in Ga so i answer and the lady is telling me I won,I cant hear who she is or what company she is calling from,because its so noisey on the construction site.I thought she said she was from some stove company so i tell her I am not interested and dont call me and I hang up.Well end of day I get in my truck and check my emails and there it is.A email from Big Jim,Jims wife Debbie sent the email saying she just wanted to make sure I understood she was not trying to sell me anything.And that my name was drawn for the Grand Prize of $600 towards a custom bow built by Big Jim.She wanted to be fair and make sure I understood what was going on.First thing that came to mind is WHAT AN IDIOT I am.So I called Debbie and apologized for my rude behavior and thanked her for emailing me.My wife said not to post this because I would look like more of an idiot.But I thought everyone should know what good people Jim and Debbie are.She didnt have to email me but she did.So again Debbie I am sorry for the rude behavior and thank you for the email.And also I am 42 years old and never won anything in my life.This could be my lucky bow,now to figure out what wood combo I want in my new Thunderchild.

You are a gentleman sir. And congrats on being a winner

You have my respect for posting your confession. IMO a lot of whats wrong in this great country is lack of taking responsibility for our mistakes.

A big Thank you to Debbie and Big Jim Archery for offering you grace for your transgression..

God bless all of you

Oh man, I guess I can uncross my fingers now...congrats on the bow. Enjoy, it will be an awesome bow for sure.

That's funny! I hope I did not hang up on anybody trying to actually give me something! Lord knows I have had a thousand chances by now.

Great story! Good for you, wigeon.

Igor, I agree with you completely.

Congratulations! We all make mistakes and... you admitted it! Now, start thinking about wood combinations...

We all make mistakes, you handled it head on in a commendable fashion. Congrats on winning a fantastic prize.

Awesome story-  Now it's time to relax and spend some time drooling while looking at Big Jim's slideshow to help pick out wood combos.  Those bows rock.

Yup. Good deal and good on you. Now what you should have said is " I'm not interested dont call me, call matty" he is!  Hahaha congrats to you and thanks to big jim for giving us all  who bought from him the opportunity.

Way to represent SE PA, Wigeon.  Proud of you!

Good post, And Big Jim's is a great place to deal with!  Maybe even better realized!

Your a good person for makng it right, a lot of people wouldn't.

also, go buy a lotto ticket tomorrow before your luck runs out! lol

Sounds to me like you responded the same way most anybody would have given the same circumstances, me included, just not everybody would have made amends like they should!! Good on you    Enjoy that bow and I think it's new name should be "Rude Behavior" just as a reminder! Haha

Steve

You done good, um, after you messed up that is....  But good recovery.

Big Jim and Mrs Debbie are tops !

 

steve thats a great name... very cool..i get so many of those calls a day i would have done the same thing..enjoy...i think steve just named your bow though...  

Awesome story. Awesome of you to post it.

Big Jim and Miss Debbie are AWESOME folks.

Big Jim makes some AWESOME looking bows with Black and White Ebony. Jus sayin.

Now that Stykbow just named the bow for me,what wood combos would be good for a "Rude Behavior" TC?
