Donations needed for our troops!

[autobows]

I recently talked to SGT. Jason Newman after reading that he was interested in buying an inexpensive longbow. I have decided to donate him one of the last new ones I have as well as some arrowbuilding supplies, which is all leftover inventory for me.
He told me the guys are hungry for any traditional archery equipment and he is currently trying to show them how to make flemish strings but he does not have the material.
I am willing to donate my last 1# B-50, but unfortunately that is all I have.
Are there any archers or clubs willing to make any traditional archery donations?
His e-mail is kksdad@hotmail.com
His company will be deeply grateful for anything at all.  His address is SGT. Jason Newman, 30thBSTB, BCO 30thBSTB, FOB FALCON, APO AE 09361
Thank you and May God Bless to any of you who donate!

How about a shopping list? Don't be shy, be specific!

I will be shopping at ATAR, btw, and would be glad to pick up a few things to send over. But that is a month away, plus shipping time. If we had a list of specific items and quantities, the family here at the 'Gang could see what they had on hand and post what they send, x'ing out items on the list as we go. That would avoid duplicates and stuff you don't want or need.

TTT for the evening crowd.

Thanks to everyone.My we have quite a few  coming on board.We are basically starting from scratch.I am having some of my gear sent from home.I think I have enough arm guards rounded up,am maybe gloves.Just really need the basics to start sending arrows downrange.I am also haveing a bow shipped here so that will make two.I plan passing off the donated items to another soldier when we leave the end of January.Thanks againg to everyone.Feel Free to PM me....SGT Jason Newman..FOB FALCON,IRAQ

If you need arrows, we need to know what spine.
Do you have stringers? String wax would likely get to you in liquid form, so maybe that can't be sent. Spare nocks for you Robin Hoods, we would need to know nock diameter...see what I mean?

Be linear, man!

Did anybody think of getting ahold of Dale at three rivers, bet he would make a good deal on some basics as long as he knew the cause, maybee even at cost. Just a thought.

[DWT]

The more I think about it makes sense to take up a donation and talk with Three Rivers. The stuff would come to the troops in one box, we could get gloves or tabs in the right sizes, and most items would probably work  together better than a mix of partial rolls etc. If this is not feasable I have some b-50 and will check to see what other stuff I have. Alot of my extras have outfitted my youngest brother who just got out of the Marines in dec.

[owlbait]

Well, I am sending a box of "stuff". If they can't use it now when the other stuff comes in I bet they will find a way to make use. For after all, they are the best. They know how to make do with whats on hand.
Thanks Jason.

I've got a Jo Jan multifletcher and some feathers that I would like to send your way. I have some arrows made up...like Killie said need spine weights...standing by for orders.

[leatherneck]

Just sent some stuff out to Iraq on another post a while back but I do have some B-50 down stairs. I'll get it out. Autobows-If you PM me your address I'll just ship it to you on Mon. and you can send it all in one package if you dont mind. I believe I have 2-rolls.

Mike

[autobows]

I have gloves, tabs, stringers, feathers, loads of nocks, broadheads, cedar shafts, videos, some books plus 1 longbow. (I'm almost out of field points, except for 5/16")
I imagine there is probably enough interest in archery that duplicates may not be a problem.
If anyone wants to ship items to me to send don't hesitate.  My addresss is Cheryl Stahl, 22523 St. Rt. 613, Oakwood, Oh. 45873
DWT,
I think contacting Three Rivers would be an excellent idea, and possibly Kustom King too.
Does anyone want to contact them or would you all prefer that I do it?
Let me know.
On behalf of Jason and the "Deuce" Co.,to all who have donated I send out a special Thank You!

Wow!the response is overwhelming.Thank you again.I just got done making a string jig.It is hard to tell just what spinn and dia nocks and points we need due to not knowing what may be shipped over,but from the looks of it everything we need is being covered.Sounds like we will be shooting in no time.Again thanks....Jason

Just packed up a arrow box to send of the following:

2 doz wood arrows 50-55 spine with 3 fletch 5 inch shield feathers with 125 gr field points, a doz blunts 125 gr tips, 3 finger tabs, 2 bear rests rubber, 1 bear side plate and rug, 1 pk hot wax glue, a 6 arrow side quiver, 1 1/2 doz 11/32 nocks, 1 pk of brass nock sets,1 doz pack of 125 gr field points, and some other misc items.

I hope this may get some one into archery so they can have a lifetime of enjoyment as I have had.
