I have never had the honor of meeting John, but listening to the folks that have I would be honored to use one of his arrows. I have a game rich lease this year and nothing would be better than to start out the season using one of Johns arrows for the first game taken there and relay the story back.

I have Johns Old fishing Bow. It is a 1959 Bear Polar.Maybe I could get it field ready and hunt it. I would need to install an over draw if I wanted to use Johns arrows tho. If somebody could use the bow and Arrow combo let me know. It seemsd the bow is 40-45 #'s I will check it out after super. John is a heck of a nice guy. I hope he is feeling better. Prayers sent for him.

I let my daughter pick the Tradganger’s   that will receive one of John’s arrows and I think I’ve heard back from every one. She picked four in all, including the guy wearing the white fur coat in his picture. Don’t worry Terry I told her you don’t always dress like that.   
Thanks

Congratulations to the winners.  The arrows were too short for me.  I met John at ETAR a number of years ago.  I wanted to get his autograph on the Traditional Bowhunter issue with a feature on him. At the time I felt awkward in asking a blind man for his autograph-so I didn't.  In hindsight, I made a huge mistake, he wouldn't have been offended and I'd have a treasured memory.
