Big Surprise Today
« on: June 13, 2016, 08:55:00 PM »
Well I was expecting to begin receiving my recently won items from the St Jude's auction over the next few days, but little did I know everything would be waiting when I got home.

I would like to thank Caleb Monroe for listing the Bear Kodiak Hunter. I've always wanted a Grayling Green recurve so when I saw it I figured I would throw a bid out there to keep the auction moving. I ended up losing track of time and checked in several days later just to realize my bid had held. I was extremely surprised and pleased. Not only is the bow in great shape, it unexpectedly arrived in what appears to be a brand new bow sock.

I would also like to thank kleine for listing the Selway quiver. I've been slowly working my way through different quivers trying to find what I like and don't like. I'm really looking forward to giving it a try this season.

Finally, the item I was really excited about. The Acadian Woods take down Tree Stick! Not very long ago, I was telling a couple buddies how badly I wanted to find a Tree Stick in the 50-55# range. I really like the one I have but I wanted one lighter. As luck would have it, Elkken listed this one only a day or two later. I knew I had to have it and ended up winning the auction at an embarrassingly low price. So much so, my conscience got the best of me and I had to throw in a little extra. I still believe I got a steal and plan to make it up on donations next year.

I can't thank you guys enough for your donations, along with TradGang as a whole for holding this auction every year for such a worthy cause! Please keep up the great work!!!!  [/url] [/IMG]

Jeremy ...  So glad the Tree Stick arrived in good fashion. Thank you so much for your winning bid / donation to St Judes. I don't think it could have gone to a more appreciative guy who knows what these Acadian Woods bows are all about ... I loved that bow but it was now just too heavy for me and I love the kids of St Judes and knew it would be a fine bow for someone so it was a no brainer to donate it this year .... enjoy, enjoy

best to ya, Ken

A great cause for support, and the auction was a great way to do it.  Contributors & participants were fantastic, as were all participants.  Really had an impact on me.  Congratulations to all the winners!

Yeah the Tree Sticks are one of the best looking bows in my opinion. I'd love to shoot one someday.
