Congratulations on pending fatherhood for both of you Jeff!

Now, if memory serves me right, you already have a WTB ad running, right?  Guess that bow's outside of the bet.      :thumbsup:

Oh yeah....can't wait to find out what color arrows for the baby's room!!

Congratulations!!

Fatherhood is the best thing ever, you're gonna love it. It's so funny how it changes how you think about the world.

Best wishes and have fun with it!

Congratulations - good that you're both excited!

I take it if YOU win, you're going to get a pink bow?

Hey Jeff,

I hadn't read this before I sent you the PM. Man, congratulations! I know an old Aggie down in San Antonio who has some little archery gloves and tabs, arm guards, quivers, etc. that need a home!

We find out tomorrow after lunch. Coincidentally, I sold a couple bows to fund a new Toelke Whip which Dan says should arrive tomorrow. Should be a heck of a day.

That still leaves me with a used bow to buy if I win....we'll see.

Congratulations to You and Your Wife Jeff.

Sounds like tomorrow will be a good day all around!!

Loving the Whip. Liked it so much I bought Bluegoose's also. Never picked up and shot 2 bows so well. Can't tell which grip I like better yet. Rob's was a Classic. Oh well I'll keep em both for awhile and decide Later.

Congratulations! Raising children is about the most fun hobby a couple can have. If you teach your child the simple values of honesty, compassion, and the value of self reliant hard work (you know, the kind of stuff so many trad gangers are made of), he/she will grow to be a fine person. You are in for a wonderful journey.

I had the same win, win last year and I won, won  :goldtooth:  My little girl is going to be a year old this month and though it's been tough finding time to bow hunt right now, down the road I think I'm going to have one heck of a hunting partner, because she is a major daddy's girl! And as far as the bow goes, well, I love my Damon Howatt Hunter   :archer2:

Ha me and my wife bet on the birth weight of my two kids. Kind of the same thing you and your wife have going. I wanted a new bow if I won and she got the equivalent for spending if she won. I never won maybe next time... Good luck to you
