Well, after hearing about others coming across good deals on trad bows and equipment at yard sales and wondering, "Why can't I ever find a deal like that?", it finally happened today.
I was off work today, which is rare, and my wife showed me a newspaper ad that said something about a "traditional bow, arrows, and misc." listed with a bunch of other stuff in the yard sale section.
Well, I couldn't get there fast enough and here's what I bought:
Ben Pearson Hawk recurve, 45#@28"
6-brand new, in the box, 3 Rivers POC wood arrows
G. Fred Asbell Wool Pullover in Silent Stalker Plaid in brand new condition
100% Wool Sweater in green
2 each Coleman Dual Fuel single burner stove
All of this for.......wait for it.......wait for it.......wait for it..............$24.00! Yes, I said $24.00.
The only thing wrong with anything was that the bow has some "crazing" on the back of both limbs and the Coleman stoves wouldn't pump up. I oiled the pump thingy and now one of them works perfectly and the other one may need the pump rod assembly replaced. NO complaints from me though.
