St. Jude Collaboration

[Whip]

One of the cool things to see each year are the group efforts that go into some of the St. Jude items.  People put their heads together and come up with some unique one of a kind type acution items that often end up drawing some of the most competitive bidding.

This year I was honored to have a small role to play in a project spearheaded by Larry Sisco (PAPA BEAR), with his Blackbrook Evo bow.  Here is the result of Larry's efforts, and a fine example of a Trad Gang group project.

 

Thanks to everyone who had a hand it this project.  
Larry Sisco (PAPA BEAR) - The Evo bow and an entire years worth of work coordinating its travels around the country to spend time with other Trad Gangers.
Brian Wilson (bctgrad) - For the beautiful hand made quiver
Tim Jones (lpcjon2) For coordinating the arrow project
And the follow Trad Gangers each crafted a special arrow to fill the quiver:
Keg
Bowferd
Joe D
Desertdude
Joe Skipp
V. Archery
Bert Frelink
Rick Stillman
Dave Manwarren
Snag
Arrow4Christ
Pluck Yew

There are three other arrows included that weren't signed, so not sure who to credit for those.  But for all involved, what a great collaborative effort, and a wonderful item that is sure to bring some great bids for the kids this year!

[PAPA BEAR]

i miss evo..thanks guys for helping out with this and to all who donated time effort and materials i salute you.evo looks very nice whip.(leather back on and gloss finish after i get the signatures on her like i had planned.)      

[Whip]

That could work great Larry.  Who did you want to sign it?  Maybe I will be seeing some at Compton in June and could get some signatures before applying the final finish.

Of course, I think you are going to have to bid high on this one - it's a nice package!!  (How's that for generousity guys - Larry donated this bow to the auction and his plan is to try to buy it back!!!           )
