Im going to combine the shinto rasp, the stave i am donating, the backing strips, the tiller tool and posters as a single package to make a starter pack for the winner to choose.

We do have overseas participants. Shipping will be its own challenge, and one I am not familiar with. I have every intention of getting any prize any winner picks to them regardless of geographical location, but if you are overseas from the USA, understand it will likely take time.

Pat B:
I have a bow I will offer that has a lot of PA history. I made a copy of Jay Massey's Medicine Bow, a 60" sinew backed hickory bow with rawhide covering. Jay has always been one of my archery heroes. This bow is 60" t/t, 58#@26" and I built it in 2005. The interesting and historic thing about this bow is every part of it came from someone else, most PA members, all I did was put it all together. The hickory came from Steve Parker(Hillbilly), deer sinew from Glenn Doane(my inspiration for making this Jay Massey copy), emu sinew from David Knight, deer rawhide from James Nguyen c/o Eddie Parker(mullet), brain tanned handle wraps from Jamie Leffler, cow horn strike plate from Alan Brown, String silencers from Art Butner(artcher1),paint from Marcia Brennan(my wife), and hide glue from Vinson Minor.
 I offered this bow to any of the contributes to use in a hunt. Jamie Leffler killed a doe in Connecticut Oct/06 with a horseweed arrow and stone head and Eddie Parker(mullet) an Osceola turkey in Oct/07. I believe I made the B-50 string. I have all of this info documented on the bow.
 I'll take some pics later today and add them here.

Pappy:
Great, I will be glad to offer up a bow or maybe a knife if I can ever get back home. Sounds like some great giveaways. I will be in touch Sleek. Pappy

JW_Halverson:
Wow, Pat! I have heard of this legendary bow! It's simply dripping with mojo. Wow!

Pat B:
Yeah, John, it was a fun project and the community effort was amazing. It's time to pass it on.  :OK
