I was going to sell this bow, but I remember I mention to someone that I would just give it away.
It's not a real fancy bow, and it would have to go to someone up to the age of 14. So here's the deal !!
If you have a son or daughter that is in that age limit, put your name on here, and if you are drawn, you would have to give it away to your son or daughter on Father's Day or sooner ! I will also include aluminum arrows (2016) but they will need to be fleached.
There's one other catch, once they've used the bow for a year, and they receive or purchase another bow, they have to give the bow away in the same manner next year.(On Your Honor)
I will a name after midnight on March 24,2008
Here's what it looks like
BearCat, three-piece takedown, R/H 40# this is a nice little bow for someone that is younger, that wants to get into archery, the riser is 17 in. and the bow is 60 in. long. It is a light bow with an aluminum riser.

Adam is 12. He has a compound but wants to go to a recurve. Says he thinks it would be more fun!!!! He's right!!!!
Not sure I should put my name in though as my daughter Emily just received a bow from here 2 weeks ago.
-
Well done Carl.
-
Good Folks those Trad Gangers! Yep!
-
Yeah Carl; good on you!
-
My son is to young for the bow but I think it would be neat if every year the youngster who recieves the bow wrote their name and date on the white limbs. Then we could see how many times and who has had the bow down the road!!
-
BrokenArrow1 if that includes grandsons or daughters I'd love a chance. I'm building new bows for 10 of mine. Thanks for being another great example.

The thread has gone back quite a few pages back, so I decided to take all the names and put them in the hat (OK it was a box) and I had my wife pick one out. That was the hardest part, I like to see all these kids get a bow, but here is the winner.

PM me with your address and I'll get it out to you.
Now remember, when he gets a new bow, he passes this one on the same way that he received it.
Thank you everyone for participating.

GOOD JOB CARL!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Well done.

Thanks Carl
Sorry for the slow response, I have troubles getting trad gang to work at home because of the two computer thing. I am not totally computer literate.
I sent a PM with the address
and your wishes to have it passed on will be granted.
My 12 year old Josiah will be the shooter and when I figure out the two computer registration thing I will post some picts. of him and the bow hopefully with small game.
thanks again.

And he could very well do that with this bow,
"it's not what you have, it's how you use what you have"
My wheels, laid in my closet for three or four months, before I sold them, now that's a second set a wheels that I got frustrated with because I just wanted to be good with a traditional bow.
Thats because I started out when I was 10 years old with a long bow, man if we could only get back to the
"10-year-old attitude"
We were not concerned about arrow size, weight of the bow, or strength, we just picked up a bow at that age and flung an arrow, and if it hit the bull's-eye we were overjoyed.
"ahhhh that childhood faith"
That's when we believed in our self, and not in how pretty the bow was, how strong it was, or who it came from, or who made it.
"Not that there's anything wrong with that"
But sometimes we get so hung up, that we can get off the hook, and shoot it for what it is;
A stick, a string, and an arrow to fling, you just tell him to concentrate on what's good, and not how bad he shoots, concentrate on the good ones, and more of them will come.
Just enjoy the bow, and of course what it's mostly all about, you enjoy your son, and help him enjoy you, :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
