First of thank-you to Terry, Rob, and the Mods for having a place where we can do this. Also thank-you to Maddog Traditional Archery, Black Mountain Bows, Mike's Archery Leather, Git-R-Done Archery and the Trad Gang Members who've donated to make this possible.

We will be giving one complete set-up away about once a month until we run out of bows. This month it is a brand new Ragim Ranger RH 48" 24@24 bow, MAL Youth Quiver and AG, a youth shooting glove and 6 arrows.

We would like to put this equipment into the hands of kids who otherwise would be unable to afford such things. We need folks who are willing to take a kid under their wing and mentor them in Traditional Archery and hopefully hunting one day.

To qualify e-mail the name and age of a deserving youth to dmjknipes@verizon.net. Tell us why this child is deserving and what you are willing to do to support them in learning to be a Traditional Archer/Hunter. We also ask that this equipment be returned to be given to another child once it is outgrown or if the child loses interest. The budget is limited and we would like to help as many as we can. Please post a picture of the winner with the set-up too!

On March 7th we'll announce the winner and start again. To be entered this time your entry needs to be received by 8PM Eastern on March 1st.

Let's help Traditional Archery and Hunting grow a new generation. We'll provide the tackle, you provide the child and time. Heres a pic of the quiver each winner will receive.

   

Right on, David!

Thats just awesome! Im sure you will make some kid's year!

let the fun begin......email sent.

       

Man that is too cool!
I love the giving nature of this place!

Perfect timing with the bow classifieds fiasco and all. Love this group. Thanks for everything!

Don't be shy folks. Enter a kid and introduce them to what's right in the world. We have a dozen or so to give away this year.

Gotta put my thinking cap on for this one. We've got alot of youngsters around here who may be interested.

Man this is great. I have 2 grandsons 8 & 5 that im going to get started soon but Grandpa can handle getting them outfitted so i wont enter them. Cant wait to see the smile on the winners face.

Good stuff all around....we really need to see pics of these kids as well....and them seeing their pics here should 'super charge' them.

Along with this, and some other ideas, we are going on a youth hunt for 2008 and try and get more kids introduced into our sport.

Thanks to all that helped with this effort!!!!!          

To The Top...

My hats off to this great contribution and idea...

At this point I just need to flip a coin to give it away. I hope there are more folks out there interested in getting a youngster started.

Up again! Great job guys and keep up the good work!!

That's a great gesture.

What a great way to introduce a young person into Trad archery. Come on everyone I know there are some  deserving kids out there that would love to shoot and have a great mentor.
