New Years Self Bow Giveaway for Parent/Child
« on: January 01, 2008, 09:52:00 AM »
Somewhere out in Trad Gang Land I think there is probably a child in the 6-9 year old range that needs a bow, that would love to shoot with his or her dad........I would like to remedy that.  I have two osage selfbows that I made a few years ago, one for me, and one for my son Hunter.  Both are snakeskin backed with antler tips and leather grips, mine is 64", 50@29", his is 48", and about 12@16".  Hunter has since outgrown his bow, and it has sat on the bow rack for a couple of years now, as has mine.  (The adult bow is right handed, and the youth bow is left handed, but I will modify it to be a lefty/righty bow before it goes out).

Here are the bows....
   

   

   

This is how I would like to see this work.....if you are interested and fit the criteria of having a child without a bow, and you will also shoot a selfbow, send me a short note on via PM why you should be the one to get the bows.  

There is a level of trust involved here as there is one big caveat attached to this......when your son or daughter outgrows the youth bow, you must send both on to another parent/child combination to keep the bows shooting.

I will pick the deserving parent/child winner on January 6th.......

That is outstanding David! Is hunter's bow a lefty, or is that just a floppy rest that can be changed.

I wish Adam and I fit the criteria, as those are beautiful. We're all set for gear and we shoot together quite a bit. Good luck to all the boys and dads, or girls and dads, or boys and moms, or girls and moms!

You're right Kenny, Hunter's bow is lefty as is, but I will modify it to make it right/left handed before it goes out.

Those are incredibly beautiful bows.  One I would very proud to own and shoot.  But I must confess my children are all a bit too old to fit the restrictions aptly applied to this offer.  I hope someone who does have young children can see the value and generosity of this opportunity.
Happy new year, Christopher.

Wonderful offer, alas my lass is too big for the youth bow. I hope these bows see good use to whomever they go to.

David,

What you are doing is way cool.  I am sure that some kid and dad will be spending great times together because of this gift.  

This is one of the things that makes this group so great.

ps  Please do not include me and sky.  I just wanted to post encouraging you.

Wow! Very generous. It would be a nice set up for my grandaughter and myself, but I don't think I'm deserving enough.
