Title: Bow Giveaway (winner pg 3) for someone in need Extended Through today!!!!
Post by: chopx2 on September 23, 2010, 11:05:00 AM: All, In an effort to help a youngster who needed a LH recurve I wound up finding two bows. One has a home with the kid I was looking to help.

Since I am RH I do not need a LH bow.

Here is what's available

Browning Wasp 49#@28" 56" LH

I would really like to give this bow to a needy youth or family that doesn't have a bow to use this season.

Only one string attached, I ask that they pay it forward like in the movie if they ever out grow it or don't want it any more.

I will collect names until Sunday and then will draw a name on Monday. (extended one day will draw tomorrow 9/28)

I can post pics of the bow as soon as I get it in my hands.

Post by: SEMO_HUNTER on September 23, 2010, 11:18:00 PM: I don't know anyone that needs it either and I don't know anybody left handed that bow hunts, but that is a very nice thing to do. I say get kids in the woods and off the streets or out from in front of the Play Station and Wii games!
Teach them how to hunt and they will never go hungry. Good for you! :thumbsup:

When the time comes, if you need some wood shafts for it look me up and I'll see what I can do for ya.

Post by: chopx2 on September 28, 2010, 10:16:00 PM: So we have a winner...KEVSHIN21

PM me your address and I will get it off to you.

So here is how I decided to do the drawing. I let the bow do it. Since I am RH and right eye dominant I decided to take a plate and divide it into equal parts for each entry. I then put a bull on the reverse and shot the bow lefty. So after completely missing the plate 5 TIMES! I closed my right eye and BULLSEYE. Nearly had a 5 way tie! Maybe I should shot lefty from now on...I'll be the one with the patch onhis eye... :laughing:
