Give-away bow does good(with update on winner)

(1/3) > >>

PeteC:
A couple of weeks ago I attended the registration, and shoot, for the"Texas Big Nasty Hog Contest",a six week contest based out of Pine Forest,Texas..I was asked to donate a bow ,and I accepted,and My family and I setup a table in hopes of selling a bow or two.It ended up being a modern equipment rally,as my son-in-law,Zach,and I were the only folks there with trad/primitive equipment.We had several very interested folks,but no buyers.We still had a great time,I even won a very nice knife in the balloon shoot.But,the coolest news I just heard tonight.The fella that won my bow,(an eastern hophornbeam flatbow I posted a few months ago),is using the bow in the contest,and he and his partner have already logged 20 big hogs,with at least a couple killed with the donated bow.It's kinda neat to hear your "kids" are doing their job.Here's a pic of the winner and his new bow.If I can get some hog pics,I'll post em. God Bless

Floorman:
Great looking bow , I'll bet that guy was thrilled to win it. And you should be very proud he is doing so well with it. How did you do this weekend ?

Pat B:
Very cool. 8)  He might figure out it is easier with the stick than with the wheels.

PeteC:
Floorman,we found 4 little bunches before 10:00 am,but 2 saw us first,and the other 2 we had gotten within 35 yards,with the wind in our face,but had the swirlin' breeze betray us.We still had a good time,it was a beautiful day.  Pat, the neat thing about it,the fella  that won the bow, shoots,and owns both a recurve and a longbow.When he tried out the HHB,he shot 5 arrows ,and put all of them in the bullseye.I was very pleased,the right guy won it. Thanks,and God Bless

Pappy:
That's great,always make a guy feel good when you give a bow away and the person that gets it
shoots it well. Most I have given away they shoot them better than I do,that is for sure.Sounds like a fun time yall had. :) :)
