Guys, I'm not really into the "Clearing House" thing.  I would prefer to personally send my bows to those people who may be in need of one of them.  I think it's great that George and others have joined in on this idea.  

It was said" I hope you don't get burned".  Me too... but the offer is still there. I have only been burnt once.  Luckily, even that one time came to a good conclusion and I got my bow back.  :wavey:

I'm with you guys.  Just picked up a perfect condition SAIII but that didn't get me as excited as seeing my little brothers face when I gave him my MAII.

Hey Gentleman, equipment is great, but as a former unemployed hunter, Being legal as in Licensed to hunt for food for my family is important, also. Don't forget this!

  Hunters for the Hungry is a great thing, But for the hunter that has a place to hunt, and the equip., still needs a legal piece of paper to do so to provide for his family! I can grow a garden, without any state help, But to put meat on the table, with the hunting process, the gov has their hand out! Please remember this! Good shootin, Steve

Very nice indeed. You gentlemen are very generous.

Hey LE I have plenty of bows but if you would just loan me your Dakota til about the first of December that would be nice as I have always wanted to try one. LOL.

L.E.,

I wasn't trying to take over your idea or take the personal touch out of it.  Maybe I didn't express myself very well. My intent was to suggest a point of contact for anyone to request a bow and to have the POC refer them to whomever had the bow that best met their needs.  It would still be a one on one deal-the bow owner dealing directly with the person requesting the bow.

That would work for me... I was thinking you ment something like a Library... where you checked one out.  Or placed an order for one.  :knothead:

As far as help with buying tags and lisence for those needing help.... I'm sorry but in my case I'm retired and funds are limited.  

I'm more than willing to help with a bow as they are all paid for and just being neglected on the bow rack  :readit:    :help:

Gene, what a wonderful idea that got me to thinking; I have a couple of bows that I know are not going to be leaving the house this hunting season (thanks to a new Old Mahoning Hybrid t/d longbow that I just can't put down).

#45 one-piece longbow with reflex/deflex limbs
#47 Ancient Spirits Thunderhawk t/d recurve

I'll even throw in some GT3555 so you are ready to go.

PM me if anyone interested and we'll make arrangements. I may be overly trusting but I figger if you're a Trad Ganger, that's good enough for me.

Like L.E., we are on a fixed income as well, but I have the equipment to loan, or even give to a needy person.   I know there are folks struggling, and some will not come forward due to pride.  But if you e-mail or PM me, it will be confidential if that's what you want as far as getting the bow.

Like L.E. and George, I am also retired (in 10 days), but I have a few of bows I'd loan.  I've been thru the pride thing-and gotten over it, I was on food stamps when I was stationed in Denver in 1971, subsidized lunches at school for the kids, etc., pretty much been there done that. I will gladly loan a bow to a fellow Trad Ganger, genuinely between you and me, not Connie Chung style.  I've got a 52" 65@28 recurve, a 58" 55@28 recurve, a 58" 60@27 longbow, a 64" 60@27 longbow, and a few others.

PM me.

I'll get in on this one. I've been through three Corporate downsizings in the last year and a half and I'm still standing, thank God.

I'll loan a Bear Custom Kodiak Takedown for the fall season to a fellow Tradganger. 60" 45@28. Pay shipping your way and promise to send it back to me in December in the same condition you received it. OK if there's a little blood on it!!!

PM me.

Mike

:notworthy:      :notworthy:      :notworthy:  

It is this site, the members in it, and the freindship and trust we share that has enabled me to pick up a 68 Super K and a 67 1/2 Super K the past few months that while not perfect, were FAR less than I ever dreamed.

This was in spite of the fact that I was injured at work, terminated over it, live in pain, in the middle of a legal/work comp/ EEOC MESS with VERY little income and no insurance or medical help (yet). yeah, I've eaten a LOT of baloney this summer!

I've some bear Razorheads, and a half dozen custom woodies that will knock your eyes out spined for several of the bows being offered.

55-60lb, 30 inches long, dipped, crested and TRIPLE sliced right wing helical.

I also have a half dozen full length, doug fir arrows RW fletched with REAL wild turkey feathers, also crested spined for 80-85 available.

You gentlemen handling the "Trad bow loan of 2009" (for I FULLY expect that you have started a TRADiton here and God Bless you for it), are hereby requested to consider these arrows for a possible match for one of your bows and the shooter's draw length and find out if the recipient of the bow needs them and contact me.

I'll stick some photos of them in here tomorrow.

These gentlemen are loaning out precious items to us trad hunters. Those of you with extra arrows???? I invite to join in.

We are nothing if not here for each other.

God bless!

Good on you L.E.

Every thing in this pic came from my Tradgang brothers, after all my hunting gear got ripped off.

I agree with what George said about pride, and if anyone wants to use the bow I offered, it will be between you and me and the fence post.
