Possible bow raffle to support this site

[sleek]

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.  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.

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

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.

Well, I owe you an apology for how sinfully ugly that bow was anyway! It could take a tree down though, you cant deny that!

Man, im so sorry, i completely forgot to reach out to you! When  left home I still didnt have my arrows fetched, bows weren't ready, I was so far behind i was almost always the last shooter of the round, and spending all my spare time prepping and repairing my gear. Im very sorry I forgot to reach out. But I plan to be there again next year. Soon as I get the dates Ill let you know. You certainly should come out. Ill be the fat guy who looks behind schedule with a panicked look in his eyes.

Does that ugly stick still exist?

I have a bow I would donate; I made it years ago when I was lifting weights, 62#@25" and made from the best osage I have ever had my hands on, it is a real screamer with "O" string follow after all these years.

Not a pretty bow because I grabbed a narrow belly split just to see if I could make a bow out of it. It had 13 very small drying checks on the back, I filled them with super glue and they disappeared, never to be seen again. I glued a rest on one side, decided to flip the bow and glue a rest on the other side, a small remnant of the first rest is still visible.

It is the third bow down from the top on the rack.

Sometimes those ugly belly splits are the real bow and the wood above is just for practice!
