Let's see your PBS Banquet donations

Dang!! all those right handed bows.. wish some folks would feel sorry for the "proper" handed folks and donate some lefty's

Those bows are beautiful!

Kevin Bahr · January 26, 2010, 03:59:00 AM

You just never know, Andy. SOMEtimes, if you are the lucky bidder or winner, the bowyer will make one to your specs. All you have to do is ask.

Got an email from Gene: he is going to donate another bronze shed antler. Way Cool!

I don't have the skills to craft anything worthwhile, but I do have this to donate (bowholder not included):

I won it at the SLC banquet, such a sweet bow for a lady or youth...

It was supposed to be for my wife, but it has not been shot in over a year and this bow is too pretty to be neglected like that...

I'd like the money it brings to go towards the Youth Hunt program.

Wow! Beautiful bow, and it's too bad your wife didn't take to shooting it, it is pretty cool that it is coming back around to raise money for PBS a second time.

Whip · January 29, 2010, 07:25:00 AM

I've been trying to think about how I might be able to help. Would a certificate for a free bow weight reduction and/or refinishing job be usable to the committee? Or maybe if someone has a nice old bow that is in need of a facelift we could team up and redo one for the banquet?
I'm open to ideas, and would like to help somehow.

Steve H. · January 29, 2010, 10:23:00 AM

Whip, that would probably work really well in the bucket raffle, I bet that bucket would be full of tickets and guys would be going back for more to try an win their favorite lady a makeover!

Whip · January 29, 2010, 10:08:00 PM

I'll talk with Greg tomorrow and offer it up. There's bound to be someone that fell down a mountain with their bow that needs a facelift! (The bow I can help - the PBS'r is on their own

)

Before I could change my mind, I UPSed the shadow box with three, Fred Bear signed articles to the Tennessee colection center.

From the looks of what I've seen already, I need to bring mo' money.

That is beautiful !!! I know I'll be bidding on it especially since I have a super Wildcat and know how great they shoot !

Kyle Lancaster · February 02, 2010, 08:44:00 AM

Brandon,
Gorgeous bow. Better story!

Kevin Bahr · February 02, 2010, 09:50:00 AM

Brandon, that is AWESOME! Thank you! I can hardly wait til the banquet is here. I wonder what I can do to pass the time til then? LOL!

Kevin Bahr · February 04, 2010, 02:47:00 AM

Just got done looking at the edit copy of the next PBS magazine. So far, there's two entire pages of donated items. I'll be like a kid in a candy store!

Dirtybird · February 04, 2010, 08:01:00 AM

Those are beautiful bows and some very gracious items donated. This will be my first gathering and I am super excited. May everyones travels be safe.

Kevin, I have a test print of the original cover photo I shot for the current issue of TBM on the way to me from Madison Wisconsin. The image is approx. 20X30" with a narrow white border. The image consists of pigmented inks (not dyes) on 100% cotton rag (acid-free) archival paper. It should last for generations without noticable degrading. Once I approve the image I intend on releasing a signed and numbered limited edition print of the photo. I am donating print #1 to PBS for the Nashville Gathering. Stay tuned as I might be posting a photo of the print here a bit later.

Bryan Burkhardt · February 04, 2010, 08:05:00 PM

Fantastic donations guys!

Brandon, you're not helping my bow buying disease

Kevin Bahr · February 05, 2010, 03:56:00 AM

Sounds awesome, Gary. We are getting lots of positive comments on the recent PBS covers that you've done. We really appreciate your efforts. Thank you!

Gary Logsdon · February 05, 2010, 01:56:00 PM

Glad to help out Kevin.

Kevin Bahr · February 06, 2010, 12:48:00 PM

A couple of PBS members stepped to the PBS booth at Kalamazoo and made some more awesome donations: from Ben Dodge, a Nebraska deer/turkey hunt; and from David Darling, a 3 day Michigan ice fishing adventure!

Gary Logsdon · February 07, 2010, 11:14:00 AM

I received the first proof from the printer and it came out a bit too dark. I'm having them tweak the image some and will post here when everything's the way I want it. Other than being a bit dark, it's looking very nice.
