RIP

[Grant Young]

Guys- Woody called me yesterday afternoon to tell me that my favorite one-piece bow, a 1970, 68# Super Kodiak, had arrived at his house to be used on the Pig Gig hog hunt next week. The only problem was that the top limbe was fractured. I'm bent. I had it insured and all that but this bow was kinda special. Bowdoc has altered all my bows and this one was perfect. I can't believe she's gone. If any of you guys know where I can get ahold of another '70 around 70# please let me know. I'm gonna go cry some more and get on with it. Thanks,              Grant

:(   What happened Grant?  Was the box crushed?  I'm sure it was packed well.

Sorry to hear the news, Trap

Grant - My deepest heartfelt sympathy goes out to you at your time of loss.

I fully understand your desire to accelerate negotiations on my dead mint, unshot, “Double 70” (1970 – 70#). If you are willing to double your 4-figure cash/trade offer, I am certain we can reach an amiable arrangement.

With deepest sympathy,

Wade

Just kidding of course, about doubling “your 4-figure cash/trade offer”. As I mentioned yesterday, you have first shot at the “Double 70”, if and when the need arises.

Thanks Wade- and everybody else as well. The bow was packed about as well as you can pack one and still afford to ship it. I also had it inside one of the old SuperK cases. Woody said the top of the box was crushed. I was pretty sad about the whole deal- still am. This was one of those bows that sort of gnaws its way into favorite status and I'd been shooting it pretty exclusively for a while. Bowdoc had my favorite riser in the early season and I took a couple of deer with this one and it just sort of grew on me. It was probably the hardest shooting bow I've owned in a good many years. Wade, talk to me about the 70-70, how many rubles will it take? HELP MEEEEEE! Sorry guys, I don't usually mourn publicly.                   Grant

Grant - When you get back from your hog hunt, we'll talk about the 70-70. I want you to see it, to make sure you want it, before we finalize any deal. If you want it, the bow is yours, if you give me a replacement bow of the same year and condition, in any weight, and some agreeable compensation for the difference between the novelty of a 70-70 and what ever weight bow you offer in exchange.

Thanks Guys. Wade, I'll get to looking for a good one. I can usually find them in the 45-50 pound range- it is the heavier weights that just seem to pop up now and then. I will enlist the aid of everyone I can think of to find a really nice specimen- or I'll just pay a primo price for the bow.I'm a bit nervous about shipping anything right now. I'll talk to you soon,    Grant

[d. ward]

Grantster the best I could come up with right now is the 58#er I mentioned to you yesterday.I will keep an ear open this week and see what we can come up with....bd
