Bow NOT Stolen - Returned by Honest Man

[newtradgreenwood]

Bad luck last night around 8 PM.  Reed Conservation Area archery range near Greenwood, MO. My bow was stolen.  

Fedora one piece 560 recurve.  60", 50 lbs., Osage limbs, locust riser, black glass on tips/front of riser. Signed by Mike with my name "Tom Plattner".

If anyone sees this bow please let me know.  913-645-7254.  

Need a new in-stock bow to purchase in near future.  Price range $500 to $1,000 tops. I have a 29" draw, & like to shoot heavy arrows. Want similar recurve or hybrid.

What a drag.  That's terrible.  :mad:  

You are close to us, if you want to schedule a time to come by and look over and shoot some Firefly hybrid's shoot me a PM.  I don't think I have one in your specs at the moment, but you can check them out if you'd like.

Sorry to hear brother...lots of great bows up for sale in the classifieds within your price range.

I was bare shaft tuning.  After trying tab/gloves, shelf/elevated rest, different arrow lengths & point weights, brace heights, nock heights, etc. I had finally achieved the "mystical flight of the arrow" - you know straight shooting arrow & quiet bow.  Got excited and scattered brained, left my bow at the range, drove home, realized the bow wasn't in my case, drove back to the range and it was gone.

This is bad, but every time that person touches or looks at your bow, it will remind him/her of what type of person they really are!!

Sorry about your loss.Bob Lee has a closeout deal on his hunter bows $455.00 I think and still has some good selections left.Kip

I'd try posting some fliers at the range.  Maybe, just maybe it was found by one of the good guys and they brought it home because no one was there to claim it.  Could be waiting to hear about someone leaving a bow behind.  Worth a try.

[newtradgreenwood]

NE'r
good idea, called the MO Conservation office at Reed & called & left a message at the local Three Trails Traditional club.  Hope you are correct, but not holding my breath

[gsdmikko]

watch for it on **** ..or one of the other sights that sell bows..as well

I'd like to think some good Samaraten picked it up for safekeeping, and is looking for you right now.

Good luck!

[kurtbel5]

Yea thats why I asked, keep your fingers crossed, I returned a very nice pistol that was left in its hardcase, out on the target line at the range.
It took a few days for me to even start looking for the guy.
                 Kurt
PS even a good Samaritan might want to shoot it before returning.

[newtradgreenwood]

I'll let everyone know if I end up being lucky enough that a good samaritin has it & gets it back to me
