Anxious to find out myself.

Hope to have the honor of hunting with another Faith sometime.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

This may be unconventional but high character self bows would be very cool.  They would have to be made to accommodate long draws though....or at least Faith would. LOL...

Shouldn't be long now.  
Don't the first hunters get them in August usually?

Mid 40's would be great! It would give some of us low poundage guys a chance to join in the fun!

I'm not sure anyone has stepped up as of yet to provide a Hope and Faith for 2014. If I understood Terry correctly he does not ask for any bowyer to step up and help out. They have always approached him. I admire that concept.


Here's to hope and faith that we'll have a bowyer come forward to provide a Hope and Faith.

That's awesome!

Yes...they are donated by bowyers....and they get a thread designated to them featured at the top for the year.  They use to start in June, but somehow the last couple of years the bows came in late and didn't get started till Sept.  Wish we had them out now hunting....lots of hogs to be killed....

As far as draw weights....we've mostly done the mid 50's....last year we did the 60 for the 1st time, and the year before they were 47#....so we do change it up....

If something comes along....it will be mid 50s again.

And yes, I don't solicit ....we've always had a bower or two waiting in line, but no one has spoken up.

Your methods are respected Terry. Well respected.


If a bowyer needs help with materials I can assist on a limited level and remove myself from the drawing of potential hunters.

It's an opportunity of wonderful memories.

Bringing this back to the top.

Really hoping someone steps forward this year.  What an opportunity for a bowyer to get some great exposure.

I had a lot of fun last year with Hope. Can't wait to see the bows and lucky hunters this year.
