PBS donations???
« on: October 21, 2007, 08:46:00 AM »
Does anyone know who is collecting the donations for next spring's PBS convention?  I am building a special self bow to donate and I don't know who is in charge of that stuff.  Heck, I'm so senile, I can't even find the email addy of PBS!

Or maybe I'm just more interested in hunting than office work....

Yeah...

It's basically a Super Cub propeller!!!  I love wide Osage bows.  I got some incredible Osage and one stave was very wide and flat...so...

The bow is 58" long.  I reckon it could be drawn to 27".  It is 54 pounds at 26".  Kudu horn tip overlays.  Backed with Western Diamondback.  It's a pretty as a school marm's smile.  Shoots really well.  I did some Indian art on the belly and it will have a brain tanned leather grip with a Kudu horn arrow rest.

I'll email Greg...

Thanks.

Mr. Brunner,

They are correct - Greg Darling is the guy for bow donations.

Visit this web site  http://www.bowsite2.com/pbs/gathering12.cfm
and follow the link for DONATION Infromation and you will find Greg's contact info.

Thank you very much for the donation regardless of the length (or lack thereof).  I hope to see you in Pittsburgh.

What can I say?  I respect the guy...and my mother taught me not to talk down (  :)  )  to anyone..... Mr. Brunner gave me my first recurve shooting lesson and I have been improving ever since......Besides, the man is talking about donating a bow and I figure if I am nice I may have a better chance to win the prize, I need all the help I can get when it comes to raffles.....

Since I did run the raffle booth for so many banquets, I am going to let you guys in on the secret for winning, but don't spread it around!

Rick, SHHHHHH!  Oops...too late, the cat's outta the bag now!

Now Kevin, don't go twisting my words around.  I know Mr. Brunner plays into the "short" thing with his self-deprecating sense of humor, but I wouldn't want anyone to think my accidental  double entendre was intended to belittle the man.

Buy a lot of tickets?  I may be guilty of that.

I can't wait to see this bow and the book in March.

Jack is right, if Duane's name is on the raffle he will win it.

Paul WA...

I am just doing the final sanding on an Osage longbow that is 65" long.  I haven't checked the weight yet, but it will be light...in the 50s.

I am also finishing a 64" longbow that a guy ordered and wants it 100 pounds at 27" of draw.  It's going to take two of us just to pull it 27" on my bow scale!

So...yes I do build longer bows.  It's just that SHORT IS BETTER IN ALL RESPECTS EXCEPT ONE!  Fortunately, all those growth hormones had to go SOME PLACE!!!

Mr. Brunner??????  I don't get it.  Who is he?
