This is awesome!As a Cubmaster and father of 3 boys,I have never seen a kid that didn't love to shoot a bow.The only thing that my kids instantly drop the video game controller or the skateboard for is when they see me carrying my bow into the back yard.Archery is a great tool for improving a kids self esteem and it is just plain fun.When somebody cares for people that they don't even know, that is true generosity. Thank you for making the world a better place. Brian
 

Will Saturday ever get here!

Way to go guys!  I love this site, you guys and gals are the best!

Ok, due to the number of entries and limited supply of youth arrows I have, each child will receive 4 arrows so I can make sure I have some for everyone who gets a bow. ALso the gloves did not make it here so this first batch will not get them. My apologies.


I sent out e-mails to folks I need addresses and Usernames from and I need replies ASAP please.

Ended up being six bows given away this time plus some arrows to a young lady who was given a bow by another generous Trad Ganger.

Tomorrow night I'll be giving out the names of February's winners and we'll start a new thread for March.

All the packages are in the mail as of yesterday. Who's getting them will be announced this evening.

PM sent. My Daughter just loves the pics of the arrows. Thanks for your generosity.  Duane

Blake Jackson (full set)(Horatio1226)

So six bows and five quivers to kick things off. Please remember to post pics. I shipped all the packages out priority insured yesterday so hopefully everyone will have them Monday.

I'll start giveaway #2 as soon as I have a clearer idea of when I'll be able to deliver.

Hello,this is Emily Rork. Thank you so much for choosing me to win this bow. I will use it alot me and my dad are going to go turky hunting this year and it will be so much fun.and i might go deer hunting with him too. And when I outgrow the bow we will send it back because I know every kid or grown-up that sign up for this will really want to win this bow! Well THANKS ALOT!!!!!

congrats to the winners.     cant wait to see the pics.   Vermonster,  thats a wonderful thing to do.

That's just Great!  Can't wait to see all the smiling faces  

Awesome job!  Dave, you live by your word (in your signature block) -- "For hunting to have a future, we must invest ourselves in future hunters" and you are doing just that!

         

Thank you guys for choosing Emily. See her note above. She is so excited. She has wanted to hunt with me since she was old enought to talk. She is almost 10 now and has never lost that interest. She just completed her hunter safety class and will be doing her first turkey hunt this spring, with a shotgun though, wich she shot for the very first time today. She did great. I think she will really live up to you're confidence in her to become a responsable "outdoorwoman".

Thanks again from the bottom of my heart and rest assured we will pay this generosity foreward. We'll send some pictures soon.

Now you need to get Emily registered so she can share her adventures with all of us Rick.

Yep, I thought the same thing.

On behalf of my buddy Blake Jackson, I love you guys!Blake is going to be blown away when I give him this. I truly believe that this will be a life altering event for this super cool young man.
As soon as he gets it,I will make sure he is registered and pictures of his expression will be posted. I can't wait. Thanks for doing this Vermonster. You are a true hero and I don't just throw that word around lightly.

Folks I in no way did this all on my own. I just drew the short straw and ended up being the face for this while other participants get to remain anonymous and just enjoy. Hopefully we'll grow a few hunters out of this that might otherwise never have got the chance to experience it.

Thanks to everybody!!!
Brian

Vermonster!  You are Awesome!

Great Job! Hope to see some pics soon.      

Well done everyone!!
