I had some time off today so I took the only bow we have at the moment to the rang.This is what archery looks like in Iraq...Thanks to everyone

one bow is not enough. I will send a recurve and anything else I can dig up, but all good useable stuff. The Albert family sincerely thanks you and all your comrades. You probably could use a stringer or two. God Bless you .

On another thread it was mentioned that communications were being cut for a few days in Iraq. Probably related to the Vice President being on the ground there or the withdrawals, either or it was a security issue. It may take a few more days before the guys are back online so he can respond.

Looks like the MLA has been on this for some time (Since 2004) donating all kinds of gear. Big thumbs up for them on that. Maybe somebody from MLA can give us a update on what is happening now.

This link is to the official MLA site and has many pictures from Iraq. There are several ranges set up with some basic information about them.

How are you guys shipping bows over there?

Rick

Ssamac · « **Reply #35 on:** July 06, 2009, 05:22:00 PM »

The bow in the pic looks like the bow I sent a few months ago, a Ragim. Anyway, you don't send to Iraq, you send to an army terminal in the US and they send it over there. Takes about 6 weeks, btw, so if you want to get something over, do it quick. I'll try to get some more things out

I mailed a bow and a bunch of accessories usps. It only cost 18.00 and change and 8.oo of it was a balloon fee because the box was so long. worth way more than that to help these guys. The lady said stuff going to soldiers goes to NY, and from there the armed forces take over and it takes about ten days to arrive. Not bad.

Oregon Hunter's Assn. is donating these 2 bows and some arrows. A Bear Grizzly 45# at 28" and a Colt Hunt Master 56# at 28".

Ted Fry · « **Reply #38 on:** July 07, 2009, 02:42:00 PM »

I would be happy to donate 2 dozen arrows to go with the bows that Blacktailchaser came up with .
Any way we could send these to someone to make one box and ship to them , Killy?

Bryan Bondurant · « **Reply #39 on:** July 14, 2009, 07:15:00 AM »

Are there any updates or any news from other traditional archery shooters in Astan or Iraq? There were many old pictures on the Michigan website but not much recent information.
