Winner on Pg 3
« on: October 30, 2010, 06:09:00 PM »
I have read several posts of folks finding deals at garage sales. It has never happened for me until today.

I took the day off from hunting to get everything ready for my trek to the woods for s couple of weeks. I was on my way home from picking up dog food when I saw a garage sale sign and thought I'd just take a look out of curiosity.

There's a little old lady sitting on her patio when I walk up, the 1st thing my eye finds is this recurve and a box of 17 arrows(15 shootable).
I was so excited I missed getting a cast iron bean pot for 50cents but I ended up with the bow, a telescope and a cast iron bacon cooker for... wait for it... a dollar.. yes sir one buck!!

Here is my treasure. It's a brand I've never heard of, A Shim-Bo X-1, 52" and 45@28. It's not a bad little shooter either.

     
     
     
     
     
     

Does anyone object if I turn this into a give away thread?

If someone has a teenager that can shoot 45@28 that can't afford a bow Just throw their name in here and after it's had a chance to be up for awhile I'll pick a winner.

My ,50 cent bow is a shooter.

Here's a round out of it at a little over 20 yards.

Mudd you are one lucky dog.  That looks like a fishing bow to me.  Would you like to double your money?

Hey Mudd
Please ad my name into the mix. My son have a friend in boy scouts that would love to start shooting with him. I will have to take him out to teach him and would be a great start.

Thanks for the chance
