PAVAN, If you're a Howard Hill fan and you like the idea of "Tradition", I really think you'll like what I'm getting ready to get going.
Alright folks, I think it's time. I don't know how to post photos here and I don't have the bow being made for this but hopefully it'll be with me next week. Here it goes.
First, there is a plaque for hanging this bow on and it reads:
In The Spirit Of Those Traditional Archery Legends Such As
Howard Hill ~ Fred Bear ~ Ben Pearson ~ Glenn St. Charles ~ And Others
The Signatures On This Bow Represent Some Of The Best At Keeping This Tradition Going. Keeping A Tradition Alive Is Important For Teaching The Next Generation About A Particular Or Shared Past. These Traditions Are Beliefs Or Behaviors That Are Passed Down From One Generation To The Next. This Has Proven To Be True Within The Brotherhood Of Traditional Archery.
Thus, The Importance Of These Individuals Who Have Signed This Bow, Titled.
“THE TRADITION LIVES ON”
Of course the reading of the plaque is centered, LOL.
The bow is a "TEMBO" from Howard Hill Archery Co. with a silver Elephant inlaid in the riser. The limbs are white glass where signatures will stand out.
Here are just a few of the twenty signatures of these torch bearers of traditional archery.
G. Fred Asbell ~ Bob Lee ~ Gene & Barry Wensel ~ Byron Ferguson ~ T.J. Conrad ~ Dick Robertson ~ Monty Browning ~ Ron LaClair, with many others coming.
I'll be raffling the bow with the proceeds going to a local Boy Scout Camp and an organization called Children's Harbor, which works with extremely ill children.
I'll have more to follow later in a thread I'll title "The Tradition Lives On" bow.
