Alas, due to work and other unforseen events, my time with Hope was reduced to backyard shooting. She's a great little bow that I had "Hoped" to chase turkeys with, but it was not to be. I reluctantly put her in the mail yesterday. It has been such a treat just to hold a bow that has been touched by many and will touch many more in the future...

Faith and I were milliseconds from sending a shaft at a turkey this morning but they either saw some movement from me or a decoy and got nervous and never presented a clean shot. I have now got her packed and ready to continue the journey tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who made our time together possible. I am really looking forward to my new sheepeater now!

Glad she made it down Barry, I was just getting ready to get on the USPS sight and check to see if you had gotten her yet.

Hope safely arrived to Erie, PA yesterday.  My son and I opened the package and admired the great craftsmanship of this little bow.  I'll try and post some pictures this weekend!  I shot a few arrows out of her last night and instantly fell in love.  I'll be headed into the woods tomorrow to chase some birds.

Last Sunday....went out with My buds Tim and Gary K.....order of the day was to get some action with Miss Faith....

Tim paddled the canoe and spotted a fish right in front of us with it's nose stuck in the weeds ans it's back out of the water......a perfect opportunity.....

 


fish weren't very active at all but we did see a couple more and my fourth shot resulted in this...

 

 


Miss Faith is a perfect bowfishing bow as she's only 50" long. But to be honest it was tuff bowfishing with a bow that you don't want to bang up.....Bowfishing is not for "taking it easy" on a bow. But I had to keep her nice for her new owner after the auction!

 

 

 


Glad I got the chance to give Faith a workout....she's a fine little bow Brent! Thanx bud    :notworthy:

Well Terry, again, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to be part of this worthy project. I can't tell you how much it means to me to be a small part of this effort every year. I am honored to share a bit with the kids. I thank God for St. Jude's Hospital and the work they do, Tradgang and the vision of the administrators, and most of all, I appreciate the generosity of the fine folks here that give selflessly. You are the finest group of people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Till next year, Good shooting and good hunting. Blessings on you all.
