My friend kopfjaeger ( Frank ) sent me a good luck care package before season last year. It had a warm hat, flashlight, knife and a good luck note.

Got a pair of Mountain Muffler 57" strings sent to me for the asking.  Also, got half dozen CX Heritage 250 arrows and shafts for cost of postage.

My good friend and neighbor kopfjaeger (Frank) has gifted me so many things from arrows and broadheads and everything in between to a beautiful 1972 Bear Super Kodiak that I'll be hunting with this coming season!

By far the 2 greatest gifts he's given me are his wisdom and friendship. I'm pretty new to traditional archery compared to most of you, 2018, and Frank has helped me more than I can explain. Good and true friends are hard to come by.

Huck, how about a few pics of that arm guard?


This polartech was given to me by Mike Whelan, Jr. when I commented on it in a thread with this pic...



This was what happened the 1st time I wore it.....

Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

Wow Tony, how was the image applied?

Here's my latest gift from Blake Marsters that he gave to me in Laredo last month, and this was the 1st night I wore it the day he gave it to me. Its a thin kuyu hooded pull over.  The hood was just perfect for keeping the sun off my neck and ears.

Terry, the leather was hand carved and painted.  I need to find a lightweight hoodie like that for LTR next year.

The best gifts I have received is the education hundreds of bowyers have given me over the last 20+ years. Tips, tricks, techniques, all hard-earned knowledge shared without stint or reserve. This knowledge was and is invaluable. And I'm paying it forward, sharing all I can for the next bowyers and shooters.

I put out feelers asking if anyone knew of a source for a GFA (G. Fred Asbell) side quiver. 
Another Trad enthusiast emailed me and said "I have two, I'll send you one. "How much do you need?"
"It's a gift, should be their soon"  Wow - good folks out there!

Here's an interesting one.... and was very useful at the LTR this year....

Skip gave me this fine belt to keep Chris Surtees' oversized pants up for me. Especially on the two hogs stalks the belt got in on.

My most treasured archery gift is a two piece, snake skin backed selfbow made for me by Jay and Glenn St. Charles via the Mississippi Bowhunters Association back in 1996. I plan for it to be a future family heirloom..... and as such it's just for display. It's never been shot or strung.

To me it represents the history behind the individual bowyers and, as such, also represents a small part of history in America's traditional archery roots.

I apologize in advance for the picture quality....

Got about 100 2314 shafts given to me if I went to pick them up.  5 hour drive there and back was worth the bundle of shafts, they work for 3-D arrows.

I just got gifted this 900 as a gift from Troy Burns. I suppose its going to look more like a longbow when strung.  She needs to go to Patrick's beauty shop. Not sure of the reason but this one is heavier in the hand than the other one I have.

Many thanks Troy!!!   Pics added here in a second....
