Jon maybe we can find a stave to send your way, then you can just send it back whenever your done.

one in a big hairy man size.

Greg, making up some kid size bows sound like a great idea . Getting the kids involved in the raffle should definitely help generate more revenue for the club , and get the little ones more interested in archery .
Chris, I also had a thought about having too many bows in the auction.
My wife is on the committee for the Heart Ball here in Tennessee. They raise money for the Heart Association, and for their raffle they have asked me to build a bow, which I plan to do. I told them about the great bowyers in this group, "You guys" , who build some true works of art.
I could ask them if they would like two or three bows from this group to be auctioned off at the 2016 event his coming February. The proceeds could be split 50-50 between the two organizations.
The heart ball attracts some highrollers from middle Tennessee , so the bidding could be high. This is just a thought, but let me know what you think, and I could ask the questions on this end.

I don't think we can have too many bows. Yes it may pull in less per bow, but really the ultimate goal is to introduce primitive archery to a lot of lucky people. Maybe just maybe those same winners grab a stave and rasp and hang out under the tent in 2016 with us ya-hoo's!
If we have say, 15-18 bows. I see no reason we cant make 10 draw 28" and the rest can be split amongst ladies and kids. Im sure we'll talk it over as a group next weekend.
