PBS Membership Drive...arrows done and ready to ship

[Mike Vines]

Thank you.  I'm filling out your application now and it's going in the mail to the PBS Home Office tomorrow.  Once processed there, you will receive a Welcome packet in the mail.

From my understanding, on of our members has graciously donated the funds to supply each of you, in this Membership Drive, an Associate Member patch.  Wear it with honor.  Easiest way to attach it is to iron it on.  A couple "safety" stitches, if it makes you feel better, won't hurt.

Paypal sent Mike.  Hopefully by signing up at the last minute my name will be on the top of the pile and easy to draw!      

I'm looking forward to the involvement.    Thanks!

[Mike Vines]

Got it Tim, thank you for joining.  I like your strategy.

One day left in the Membership Drive.  Are you gonna make it in to the "Class of 2015", or sit on the sidelines?  

Hope to see you all at a campfire soon.

Mike

Thank you for listing those Steve.

This will be my last bump of the Membership Drive.  As of right now, there is just under 4 hours left (payment must be received by midnight Eastern Time tonight, to be eligible for the arrows which will be drawn tomorrow at 6 PM Eastern Time), and your odds of winning are pretty darn good.  

If you have been on the fence, tell your wife it will make an awesome Christmas gift.  It's the gift that keeps on giving for an entire year, and more importantly, it will improve your hunting opportunities.

Thank you, to all, who have joined the ranks of the PBS this past month.

Waiting for the big drawing. Couldn't participate as I am already a member of PBS, but I do have some of Mike's arrows. The winner will be very pleased.

Congrats to all who are new members. Hope to see you on a PBS member hunt someday.

How many made the drawing, Mike?

That's outstanding Mike. Good for you.

[Mike Vines]

I interupted my Beautiful Wife, while she was busy working, and asked her to give me a hand at pulling a name from the hat...

[Sean B]

You all know him as "Sixgun"



Congratulations Ray.  I'll get with you about shipping the arrows.

Thank you everyone for joining.  I look forward to sharing a campfire with you soon.

         congratulations!!!!

[Jeff D. Holchin]

Congrats to the winner and welcome new PBS members.  Wow Mike, this was the most effective membership drive I can remember!  I expect to see some good threads on here this year with hunt results.  I am hosting two hunts and hope to attend one or two other membership hunts in 2016.

[Sixgun]

No way!!!! This is way too cool!

Now, what I would like to do is: To donate back 11 of the arrows to the PBS for the Bi-annual gathering. I want one of those beauties for myself, to compare my arrow building skills to.

Wow! I still can't believe that I won.

Thanks again Mike. You made my night!

Ray

[Tsalt]

Congrats Ray!  And thanks Mike for all the encouragement to join and the added incentive of the arrows!

[Sockrsblur]

Great gesture Mike and Ray!

Look forward to seeing you all in St. Augustine.

Welcome to all of you new members!  Hope to meet some of you at the March 2016 PBS gathering.  I also have a few spots left for the PBS pig hunt at the Spike Box ranch near Benjamin, TX (Febr. 14-19, 2016).  Send me an email for more info.

Awesome woodies Mike.  You have the marbling and feather splicing down pat.  These are as Purdy as those purple ones you killed your Manitoba bear with.  Those purple ones were hot!
