Wow... so thankful
« on: August 02, 2023, 04:26:06 PM »
I shared my cancer story and buying a Bear recurve on another thread.  I received so many well wishes and prayers, it was humbling. This site is awesome!!!

Although I still take chemo everyday, the good Lord has me well enough to sit in the woods this fall. I can't wait!  So... I post another thread on my desire to purchase a light weight long bow and how Im wanting to buy them all from all the bowyers.

I recieved a PM from a gentleman in Texas that had one he would give me. Well, my mind went to racing around and of course I'm thinking that nobody would give a bow away that was any good. We texted and PMd for a bit and lone behold this gentleman sent me a beautiful 64 inch, light poundage Long Bow!!!! I want to say a huge thank you to Rick Alexander aka Alexander Traditional for the gracious  and somewhat unbelievable gesture he did for me. Thank you Rick, and when I get down by you, dinner is on me!!! Thank you!!! :notworthy: :clapper:

Awesome gesture by Alex.

Holm made are superb longbows.

Congrats on your good fortune and best of wishes for a full recovery from your health concerns!

Good on you Rick.  Have to say I have found a lot of good folks in the traditional community.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.
