Xmas bows to the troops in Afghanistan---Input needed

Bivyhunter · October 26, 2011, 07:32:00 PM

Well I got started working on three of the five (hopefully) bows I'll be shipping over to the troops. The first one is in the spray booth. Got the shafts in last week and will be fletching them up later in the week. I'll keep updating with more pics of the bows as I'm getting them finished up. I've got one lefty I'm sending over, don't want to discriminate against the "wrong handers". Still working on assembling the balance of the accessories to make complete packages.

PM South (Bivyhunter) or search for the Michigan Longbow Assn and they have information there.

I got the third bow in the spray booth today. I'll be working on the fourth and hopefully fifth later this week. Steve will continue to build up coats over the next couple of days.

Those should make some soldiers very happy

Looks Great!!!

I've got a bit of a quandry I wanted to run past you guys and get your feedback on. I got in touch with John Vasos over at the Michigan Longbow Assoc. to start lining up the shipping of the bows over to Afghanistan. One of the other members of MLA PM'ed me told me that they had shipped over a bunch of arrows, some targets and five other bows, but the bows hadn't arrived and were at an unknown location. John replied promptly to my email and told me in addition to the Camp Cuervo, they are working on setting up an archery range on US soil for our disabled veterans that are getting treatment at the VA hospital on the upper peninsula. He stated it gives them a place to go and relax and take a break from their rehab. Wow, another great cause! So, the question is, should I proceed along as planned with shipping the bows to Afghanistan and take the chance that they will suffer the same fate as the others, send them to the new range for the veterans or maybe split up the order and spread the wealth?
