The Asbells Wanted To Donate UPDATE
« on: February 20, 2012, 08:52:00 AM »


These 2 wool garments this past weekend at the Michigan Bunny Stomp. They are an Evening Stand Green Pullover and a Silent Stalker green Woodsman Classic zip-up. The problem was that when they arrived at my house Friday, a well intentioned neighbor snatched them and some other packages that were left in front of my garage, he felt they were too visible to the road and might be stolen. I didn't see the fellow until this morning, and well here we are, a couple days late.

So I made a command decision.....

.....somebody please PM me with this young mans name and address. I will ship both wool garments to him, with these simple stipulations:

1.He give one of them to the guy (or gal) who has most influenced his participation in traditional archery.

2. He do a little research and learn what he can about the Asbells, and traditional archery history. Teresa and Fred have done so much more for us than provide some great wool....and they will be the first to modestly tell you about the accomplishments of those before them, like thier dear friend Glenn St Charles, etc.

I know this young man only as "CJ", and he was with me on an epic run that Daisy had on what must be the sprintingest rabbit in Michigan. For almost 2 hours this young man and I manuvered through some pretty thick cover, trying to intercept the bunny. We both missed (more than once), but in that 2 hours I observed a young man totally thrilled with the hunt and the challenge. I watched him trim shooting lanes, and apply true woodsmanship to the task at hand. Whomever "brought him up" has done a great job.


Get me his address, I will ship this stuff today!!

Does that mean that they were just your size Roger?....lol J/K

   :campfire:

God bless,Mudd   :archer:

PS: The Asbells are great folks(yes both of them) but Teresa pours her heart out in the making of some great hunting clothes. Fred just happens to be one of the greatest teachers of instinctive shooting and if not for him I most likely wouldn't be where I am today in traditional archery. He does some good tough testing of Teresa's products too!...lol

Great decision Roger!! I too was very impressed with this young man and agree with you completely!! He seemed to be a great young man, very enthusiastic and eager to learn. The future of our sport right there and I believe in good hands. Roger is also one of those people that is great for our sport, had a great conversation with him walking in from the hunt and this does not surprise me in the least, great job Roger.

How cool is this! Good on the Asbells and you Roger! I just received my silent stalker green Mackinaw and it is Awesome! Really blends nicely! The garmet quality is top notch and Teresa is a master Seamstress.
