Welcome to the first annual PA giveaway!
« on: October 06, 2025, 04:54:42 pm »
This is also posted in AROUND THE CAMPFIRE,  but I am posting here as well as this is the most active forum.


Welcome to the first annual end of year giveaway!

The idea: The intent is to raise money and participation, as well as highlight contributing members and make the front main page interactive. Contributing members will get their name in a hat for an end of year drawing for their choice of donated items including a bow, either made by a well respected member, or myself, who volunteers for the task. Check in here for updates as the prize pot grows!

http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,73300.0.html

  If you want to donate anything, let me know via email at Primitivearchermagazine@gmail.com to discuss details. Every January I will do a drawing after the December B.O.M. winner is decided, amongst all qualifying contributing members.

  Methods of contributions:
The BEST contribution will ALWAYS be your participation in the community, always remember that!
To qualify by donation and be involved in direct financial support of this page and its upgrades, $20 a year can be sent via mail to Kevin Hawkins  at Primitive archer magazine P.O. Box 02, Edward, NC, United States, 27821
 or via cashapp at $PrimitiveArcherMag, and we may set up a square account as well. If those payment options won't work for you, please email to tell me what is best for you.

Additional ways to qualify for the drawing event:
•article writing for the webpage
•primitive recipe features/threads
•threads with high participation
•complete build alongs
  -bows
  -arrows
  -string making
   -primitive lifestyle
   -etc...

Anyone who writes something that is featured on the new main page gets an entry into the end of year event. Features will be decided on by Admin and Mods. They will include, hot topics aka threads with high participation, complete build along threads for any primitive style art including cooking, bows, arrows, knapping, tanning, string making, pottery... smoke signals, you get the idea.

Each winner of Bow Of the Month will be rewarded with a free entry into the drawing.

This is YOUR community and I am looking forward to your presence, contributions, and most importantly, your participation. Together, lets make this group better than its ever been.

Make certain you let me know who you are when you cashapp or mail your 20, so I can accurately put your name and how to contact you in the spreadsheet for the drawing!

Just send me a text where to send the check. When I get that info you will receive $50 for the year. I will also donate a Custom bow for a winner of that item. I’d rather build for a winner than a winner to get a bow they can’t use for what ever reason. Folks we all missed the site when it was gone and was willing  to contribute money to get it back. Now is the time to contribute so we get to keep it. Let’s pay to play so to speak. That’s nice as the cowboy can say pay up guys!!! 🤠🤠🤠
Well I'll say!!  Osage is king!!

If you wish to send anything via mail, the new PO Box address is: Kevin Hawkins at Primitive archer magazine P.O. Box 02, Edward, NC, United States, 27821
 

Avin, thank you so much for the very generous offer to make a bow for the winner! If you wouldn't mind posting about that in the prize pot thread in Around the campfire Id greatly appreciate it! Here is the link: http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php?topic=73300.msg1028269#msg1028269

Also, if you dont mind just doing a $40 vs a 50, that way it gives you an entry for this year and one for next, evenly without the extra 10 remainder, that would work out best.
