Classic Donation Needs Help

(1/8) > >>

Wolf Watcher:
Not sure where to post this, but thought it might work here.  Shannon gave me an idea with his "fill the case with points" for a raffle for the Classic.  I want to donate a plains style bow and arrow quiver for a raffle at the classic.  Since I am not a bowyer, I wonder if anyone would donate a bow and someone else would donate some arrows for the Classic?  The quiver will be designed for a stick bow of around 60-63" end to end and will be made with an eland hide and elk or moose trimmings.  I know several fellows have mentioned they plan to donate a bow and hope one of you will offer to put it in the quiver.  I don't know how to post pictures, but the quiver is one like my own that I use for hunting horse back.  Mike Huston uses the same style quiver on all his hunts.  Here's hoping someone will help me out with this effort!  Joe

Pat B:
Joe, this is a great idea.   8)  If I had the time I'd make a bow to go with your quiver. Maybe I can make a few arrows for it. ;) I need a donation item for the Classic anyway.  A nice set from a few different PA folks should bring about a bidding war and that would be great for the Classic and Twin Oaks.
  Thanks for bringing this up.   ;)

I would be up for making some bamboo arrows, but they'd just have field points on them

Timo:
Wolf watcher, The bow I was going to donate will meet the length requirements,It is a flat bow of design but it is a light weight bow,(40# @ 28")

Wolf Watcher:
aero:  A couple arrows would be fantastic with your name attached.  It would be best to send them to Pappy and we can put a couple of heads on them.  Thanks for the help!
Timo:  That would be a great bow and would work well in the quiver.  If you want to send it to Pappy or myself with your name on it we can get it put together with the arrows at the Classic.  Pat B said he would donate a couple of arrows also and the more arrows the better!    I will be glad to reimburse you and aero for any postage you might have.  How wide is the bow as the quiver needs to fit as it will be open at both ends?  Hawk Huston uses a tie on the bottom end to hold his bow in place, but I just it stuck it and it holds just fine.                  THANKS FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!  Joe
