Awhile back i asked how a non profit medieval archery group i belong to should go about approaching the large archery companies for donatiotions.
I was contacted by Pat who said he would be happy to make us a ELB for a donation and that he does this from time to time to "give back" to the archery community. Needless to say i was totally taken back by his generosity!
I recently recieved the bow from him and WOW it is sweet! Here are the specs.... She is made from osage and has horn nock ends. Is 75" tip to tip and 71 1/2" nock to nock. It is 45# @ 28" and is just gorgeous.
Here are some pics Pat sent me....
We are going to have a special archery only event here in Oklahoma next year which will be held the last weekend of June and it has been decided that this bow will go to the over all champion of the shoot.
This past saturday i attended our annual Royal Huntsman Tournament so i took the bow for One... To get the word out what the top prize is going to be. Second... To get as much excitement drummed up and people talking as much as possible. and Third...just to show it off! :D
Everyone was awed and i sure heard allot of...."Wow i have just got to come and compete now!" Some lucky person is going to recieve a prize that is really special!!!
Pat even though i have already told you this over and over....i just cant thank you enough for everything you have done! and it has been suggested that if there is any way for you to make it to the event and be the one to pass over the bow that you are more than welcome!!!
We will put you up, take care of all of your needs and even loan ya some of the funny looking clothes to wear!!!
