I lost my bow at Denton Hill
« on: August 04, 2011, 01:10:00 PM »
Sounds like a title to a song doesn't it?..    :readit:  

I let a slick talker talk me right out of my pretty little Classic Hunter last weekend..    :(  

Jack Paluh from Pa who paints those very cool prints of Indians hunting deer and turkeys with primitive bows is now the owner of my personal bow. I talked to Jack on Saturday when he stopped by my truck. He was telling me about his shoulder problems and the bow he was shooting wasn't helping things any. I handed him my 45# Shrew Classic Hunter (Jacks a lefty) and told him to go over to the practice range a shoot a few arrows.

He was back in 10 minutes wanting to buy my bow. I told him I really didn't want to sell my bow but that I could put him on the waiting list for a Shrew. I won't say that he begged, and I won't say that he cried, but he slick talked me into feeling sorry for him and before I knew what was happening, he was handing me a check and walking away with my bow.

So...when I got home I told Gregg that I needed a new bow...another Classic Hunter in a  "SAFARI" model...    :jumper:      :jumper:      :jumper:

Another great story from Denton!

I know someone who talked you out of your Buffalo knife!

Thank you Ron for taking the time to tell the story of your Alaskan hunt, and the value of a readily available sharp knife, when everything goes wrong!

I hope I will have the pleasure to meet with you again Ron

Let me guess, he even had you sign it with a black sharpie didn't he Ron? That way when you are pushin' up daisy's the price for that gem will be 10x what he gave you. Haha.

I can't blame him. Had it been me I likely would have cried and begged!

Ron,

I am mad at you. Not for selling your bow, but for suggesting a Classic Hunter Safari. I think you did it just to get me fired up to order one of those too, now that I already have a Super Shrew Safari on order! I am building on a new wing for my house to store all my bows. Not really, but I think my wife is about to suggest it.    :bigsmyl:

Why didn't you just tell Greg you wanted the Safari, you wouldn't have had to go to all the trouble of finding someone to sell your CH to. < :)

Allan, I'm sorry..It's not going to be a true big game Safari bow because it isn't going to be in a heavy weight and it'll have the carbon/foam core instead of the bamboo. Maybe we should call it the "SG Safari" (small game) or something that will distinguish it from the true Safari bow like your's and Dougs...   :notworthy:
