Hey all I'm trying to find someone out there who might have need of a bow.

Now before everyone thinks that I'm just giving away one of my bows to whoever, I want eveyone to know that this is the bow that got me back into Trad shooting and it means a bit more to me than that.
This bow is meant for someone that truly NEEDS a bow to hunt, hard times, financial problems, whatever.

I have a few longbows that I use primarily, and don't plan on using anything else, thus the reason for this post.

I know times are a bit tough right now, and I want to try to help someone else out as I have been helped in the past.

The bow that I have is a Martin Hatfield Takedown, 55#@28". Now it's a bit older, limb bolt model, and has a few dings on it, but it shoots every bit as good as the first day I bought it.

I really hope that I can find someone that I can help out a bit in these tough times.

I don't have any pictures of the bow right now, but I will take some tomorrow and add them to this post.

Charlie, Stringstretcher, and I will be going through the return posts to make a decision so if you have any questions, feel free to IM either one of us.

Take care,
Keith

My daughter broke the tip off of her bow and has needed one since. I told her I would try to find her another one but I'm disabled and can't afford a new bow. She could really use it. Also she has no trouble shooting a 55# bow. She shoots my Martin Hunter quite well, it is 55# @ 28" also. Thank you for considering her.

Jus think  need to clarify myself, This bow is NOT for sale.

Keith,

What a most generous thing you are doing here.

Good on you, Buddy!

And I don't fit your criteria as to need, so I am not asking to be considered.

You are a credit to our sport!

Magnanimous act!  

I should have added this last night when I origianally posted, but whoops.

The only thing that I ask of whoever gets the bow is for them to pass it on to someone else that may be in need when things get better for them.

Thanks,
Keith

Once again this site shows me why I'll be a Trad Ganger for life.  I hope this bow brightens the life of someone who really "needs" it.
Good for you Keith.  Karma never hurt!

Great thing you are doing.  I have a left handed reflex deflex longbow that one of my foster kids (I'm an attorney and represent many foster kids in child protective services cases - I put bows and guns in their hands !!! responsibly of course) used until a friend donated a lighter recurve to him.  Same deal,  someone who needs it  and willing to pass it along.  B Hill  94-381-3688

thats 940-381-3688

         This is great don't need it thou

   

Another selfless act from a trad ganger. OOh Rah!!!

               

Don't be bashfull.  We all have had times when in need.  I know Keith, and this is just the way he is.  Saw him riding his motorcycle on day with no shirt on, said he lived up to the saying of "giving the shirt off his back".

We need more people like you in this world.      

Well I haven't received very many responses, so this might not be as difficult as I thought it would be.

I will leave it posted for a few more days before I announce the winner.

Keith
