One of our long time Trad Gang members died last week of cancer. He was well known at tournaments in Tn, Alabama and Ms, often shooting with me.
I tried to help him through the courses as his health failed over the years. He made it to the Jerry Pierce shoot but was unable to go out on the course because the cancer had just about used him up.
I fixed him a plate of mud bugs(man, he loved those things) at the Saturday night feed. This was the last time I saw him.
Biff had a one of a kind ACS bow, custom made for him after he won it in a fund raising drawing held by the ASTB. He had a 31" draw so he had the bow made to be 32# @ 28" or about 40# at his draw length.
The bow has what is called a "Shockwave" riser made by Troy Breeding, one of a kind. If I remember right Troy said it had over 120 separate pieces of wood glued together to create the effect.
Biff's better half brought the bow by today for me to string up for her to shoot. She took a few shots and asked what the bow might be worth. She is pretty sick as well and will be needing a liver transplant in the future.
I told her I didn't have a clue about the bows worth but would ask the experts. For now she wants to keep the bow and shoot it herself at the Lost Tribe tournaments her a Biff once attended together.
What say you guys about it's worth? Here it is, just like new. If anyone has a good estimate about the bows worth, please PM me. Like I said it is not for sale. I would hate to have some unscrupulous person cheat this nice lady out of the bow in the future for a fraction of what it might actually be worth.
