I just finished doing a Duracoat desert camo job on my old Damon Howatt Hunter. I intend to give it to Sackett, who I believe is running the TradAmerica program, later this month. If that doesn't work out I'll let you know. One way or the other this bow is going to the desert!

The mail just arrived with a package sent from Robert Honaker containing arrows, tabs, hip quiver, judos and rest.
Thanks Robert!

You're welcome Bob.

Bob,
I'll be mailing a Browning Nomad Stalker-50 lb, 58" with two new strings, geat shape, by end of week. Also 11 2016 and 2018 arrows, a glove, tab etc.. I'm boxing them up now.
Dan

P.S. Jaeger, I love that Desert Camo paint job! The guys will love that and the work in it.

I hope so. I was kind of torn on doing it or not. On one hand I thought that since they were immersed in militaristic stuff that they might not care for a similarly styled bow. On the other hand I thought it was pretty cool. In the end the hammered original finish was just begging to be redone.
It's a good shooter. I need to get some extra strings twisted up.

Michael,
Believe me, it looks AWSOME! They will probably be tickled pink that you went to the trouble.....

By the way, got another shipment in. This time there was about a dozen and a half arrows, glove, tabs and stringer from Golden Hawk and a couple of dozen arrows and 5 gloves from Fred Gimbel. Ya'll are the greatest!

Bob I had My took the Pearson to a local bowyer to ensure it was safe and he gave me a thumbs up. I plan on shipping it out on the 15th. It does not have a string, though. Sorry

Bob Walker · « **Reply #49 on:** March 12, 2007, 06:52:00 AM »

Thanks, Barney and Kelly!

Kelly, don't worry bout the string, I'll twist one up for it.

Thanks again to all that have helped and that will help........

txcookie · « **Reply #51 on:** March 12, 2007, 10:47:00 PM »

Really cool Wished I would have had a range with bows last time I was over there. That kind of stuff really helps with stress and being so dang homesick.

Jesse Minish · « **Reply #52 on:** March 15, 2007, 12:00:00 AM »

That Damon Howett Hunter, camo bow is just a beauty right there. As I am currently a soldier in the Canadian Forces, I respect and am honored about what is going on here, great job guys.

Cheers, "Messin"

Bob...Told you I was going to send you a bow. It's packaged up and will mail it first thing Monday morning. Included an armguard, tab and glove. Thanks again for heading up this project.

KellyG · « **Reply #55 on:** April 03, 2007, 09:00:00 PM »

Bob,

Sent mine off today, it should get there in about 3 days. It is funny I grew up not far from you over in RockyMount.

Bob Walker · « **Reply #56 on:** April 05, 2007, 12:00:00 PM »

Hi All,
Sorry for no updates in a few days but I've been running in many directions......
I received a big box of videos from Barney Henrich, a box of arrows from DannyBoats, a longbow from Rabbitman and four leftys, 2 longbows and 2 recurves, from Gregg Dudley along with some T's and misc supplies. I'm currently waiting on a shipping address and then will be preparing everything for shipment and making extra strings for the bows. Thanks to all who have so generously donated!!!!
Thanks,
Bob

gregg dudley · « **Reply #57 on:** April 07, 2007, 10:44:00 PM »

The bows I sent were originally donated by TBOF member Bill Peterson. TBOF members have generously donated about 20 bows to send overseas first through Operation TradAmerica and then through local club contacts. Now club members will be encouraged to send donations to Bob as long as he is going strong.

Best of luck,

Gregg

Bob Walker · « **Reply #58 on:** April 20, 2007, 08:27:00 AM »

OK, guys, here's the latest update. Received another box of videos from Fred Gimbel and he has another box of misc. supplies on the way. Got a shipment of bow strings from Crossed Arrows and 2 dozen carbons from Greg Antrim.
Thanks again!
I've gone over the bows and made new strings for the ones that needed them. I have refletched the arrows that had vanes with feathers. Got all of the videos boxed up and will have the rest of the gear boxed this weekend and ready to ship at the beginning of the week. I'll get a final inventory posted this weekend.
Again, I want to thank everyone that has, so generously, donated this gear to our men and women in the mideast. I am sure that your generousity will bring a lot of smiles to lots of faces that don't have a lot to smile about right now......
Tradgang is such a GREAT family to be a part of!!!!

Bob Walker · « **Reply #59 on:** May 01, 2007, 12:16:00 AM »

Well, the last of the boxes went out today, headed for Kandahar Airfield, Kandahar Afganistan. The final count was Nine (9) bows, 10 dozen arrows, 11 gloves, 8 tabs, 4 bracers, 2 stringers, and a bunch of misc. supplies such as nocking points, extra strings, fletching cement, hot melt, rest material, bow socks, field points, T shirts, and a quiver.

I, again, would like to thank each and every person that sent items to be included. This Tradgang family is comprised of some of the finest individuals that I have ever known.

May God Bless America..........
