The generosity on this, and the keeping of one's word, within the Gang; is outstanding !!

Very inspiring Drew,

I'll throw in a half dozen Zwickey Eskimos and a feather rest. The heads are slightly used but have lots of deer left in them.

When you find a home for the bow send me an address and I'll ship them out.

Drew - if the bow has not been taken I think I have a good canidate for it. He is 17 or 18 just graduated form high school working part time and going to college this fall. He is a real good kid.

We took him to the GLLI shoot with us this year because he is the base guitar player in the band that played Saturday nigth. Well lets put it this way he had a total blast and loved shooting, he is hooked for life. The only problem was he could only go shooting when somebody else was not shooting because he had to borrow someone's bow and arrows.

AnointedArcher · August 15, 2008, 01:20:00 PM

Oh yea, I will throw in a 1/2 dozen Chundo arrows and a shooting glove!

Drew · August 15, 2008, 01:37:00 PM

Jeff, I think he would make a good person...I've been in the same position being a broke college kid (although gas wasn't as expensive) and after two years I had all my roommates eating vension & rabbit!

Let's work out how to get the stuff to him...

AnointedArcher · August 15, 2008, 01:44:00 PM

His name is Jerrith, can't remember his last name right now. However we go to the same church and I see him at least once a week so if you want to send it to me I will get it to him.

He is going to be so pumped and shocked I can't wait to see his face!

Here is a pic of the unsuspecting recipient of the Trad gang familys generousity playing at a concert at the Michigan Traditional Bowhunters Jamboree in Grayling!

Jeff...it's says image has been moved or deleted.

When I was in college our Fraternity Mascot, a huge St Bernard chewed my bowstring in half and when the bow blew it scared him so bad he went out an open window onto a 3rd story roof. About 4 of us risked life and limb to save that worthless mutt.

I was so broke I could barely afford a bowstring at the time. I think a young college student would be a great candidate. Give me his address and I'll ship him some heads.

Jeff, Let me know his draw length, bow weight ect and I will toss in 6 aluminum arrows and a quiver. I will need your address for mailing purposes.

Jon

Drew · August 15, 2008, 03:44:00 PM

Jeff, it looks like Jerrith will be set up with a bow, arrows, broadheads and quiver!

Daryl, great story and thank you!

Jon, thank you very much!

AA,

Neat of you to reach out and identify that kid.

Drew, great way to "pay it forward!" (Great movie with that theme BTW)

AA, keep in touch. As I get into this move, maybe I'll uncover some stuff to shoot to him. After the last move to here, I still can't find 1/2 my stuff... !

Maybe something by way of camo that doesn't qute fit anymore...stuff seemed to shrink in those rubber tubs...can't figure any other reason they're too tight! "[dntthnk]"

Jon Stewart · August 15, 2008, 03:52:00 PM

Drew, does the bow have a place for a Quikee Quiver to be used, the type that screws on, I will toss in a quickee quiver and the holder that screws onto the side of the bow. When you get done with this kid he will have everything but the deer standing in front of him, lol

Jon

Drew · August 15, 2008, 04:01:00 PM

Jon, it does...in fact I think it had one on once and the holes are now filled. So re-mounting would be easy! Thanks for everything too..the next shoot I want to meet you and shake your hand!

If we can find an arm guard and glove, he'll be set. Because I'm tossing in a knife too!

jacobsladder · August 15, 2008, 04:14:00 PM

Drew...good work bud!!!! Let me know if i can assist with anything...

TRAP · August 15, 2008, 04:16:00 PM

I'll toss in a neet tab with my package and a custom armguard that was given to me by a fellow Trad Archer.

Do you want me to justr send this stuff to you so it's all in one place?

Jon Stewart · August 15, 2008, 11:43:00 PM

Drew, I need a shipping address, arrow length and bow weight.
