Possible bow raffle to support this site
« on: May 10, 2025, 06:03:26 pm »
I am trying to judge the general interest in participating in a bow raffle for a bow to support this site. I build a new bow for the flight shoot at the salt flats every year and am considering using them to help finance PA. They are typically 50#@26 right handed short recurves and plenty quick. The idea is $20 for a ticket and I'd need get 200 tickets.

If you are interested let me know and if you have ideas/suggestions regarding this feel free to post.

I’d like a ticket.

I like the idea of a raffle. I think more people could participate than an auction.

I'm with Bob and Pappy. Already have too many bows, at least that's what my wife says.  ;D I am open to other options though.

I'd buy a ticket...I'm a leftie, so if I won I'd probably donate it to RMEF or a similar cause for them to raffle off.  See how much money we can raise off of one bow.   ;D

My thoughts to. Often when someone donates something to a charity auction. The winning bidder donates it right back and they auction it off again.

I’m up for whatever it takes to keep PA up and running. I could always give the bow to a worthy cause or give it to a friend to generate a new person into the world of bow making.
Let us know  :BB

Even though you owe me a bow I'd happily chip in and pass on putting my tickets in the drawing hat. This community means the world to me and like everyone else I am happy to put my money where my mouth is.
