Getting home late from work I notice two packages on my doorstep. I am thinking to myself I have an idea what one is, but I dont know the other.... Of course I opened the one I was unsure of. It looked like a triangular box for arrows. But, I already received my new arrows for my jd berry misty dawn, from Don at Oregon arrows. I opened them up and there are four arrows (his personal) with blunt tips. I said awe man Don is old (and getting senile :-) ), he mis shipped these. I did not ask for blunts. Then I saw this little envelope with my name on it. I opened it and there was a little note saying how every archer needs blunts in his quiver! These were just a little something extra. He is shooting a heavier spine now and does not need them anymore! Sheesh!
So, now I am smiling and thinking what a swell guy Don is while opening my other box. The box contained the Alen binos that I bought from nineworlds. They came as advertised, excellent! Low and behold what do I see, another little package in a zip lock baggy. I open them up and here a set of fur silencers! Once again I did not ask for these!
My point is that in ALL of my hobbies, there has never been bonuses! It was you got what you paid for... You wanted more, you paid for more :-)
Trad archers, sellers, buyers, makers, have made my experience very enjoyable. Two years into this sport and I still receive immense pleasure. Both from the actual sport/art of archery and its people.
Just wanted to share in that saying people here, and in this community of trad archery, keep me feeling good.
Thank you
