In the spirit of Christmas I am giving this kids bow away. It is one that just didn't want to be all grown up.. ;) So If you have a child that doesn't have a bow and this bow would fit then just add your name in a reply on this thread. On Friday evening I will put all the names in a hat and let one of my kids draw a name..At that time I will contact you for the shiping address ..All I would ask in return is that you pay shiping cost and post a pic of the young man or woman here on the board..If any of you guy's have any Arrows or Quiver laying around feel free to add them to make a complete set.. ;)
The bow is 52" 25# at 23" Reflex Deflex Bamboo backed Ipe..The handle is Osage,Purpleheart and Ipe. The limb tip overlays are Ipe and the limb tip underlays are osage. It is Right handed..

That is a very Special Gift to give to anyone....and especially great that you are giving it to a needy Child....I know of one.... Izaiha...He is all the way across the World in Walcha, New South Wales Australia ....He has outgrown the Bow that I built Him 3 years ago....this was His first Kill with the Little Paddle Bow I built Him

God bless you for your generosity! :)
-
Good for you Knightd, that is certainly what christamas is all about.
-
El Destructo that is just absolutely inspiring!!
-
Thank you....I built a little Cedar D Bow for Izaiha's 6 year old Brother Ethan...and a Sycamore Paddle Bow for Izaiha....now Ethan is shooting Izaiha's Bow!!! Man they grow fast.........MERRY CHRISTMAS
-
David- That is a great Christmas gift. I am sure some kid is going to be very happy. ;D
-
Very nice bow and very nice jester. Some kid will have a good Christmas. :)

David this gesture of good will is what Christmas is all about :) Just imagine the smile on his/her face when they receive this beauty.
I think most people lose sight of what Christmas is really about, too often we take for granted what we have
and forget about those that have little. Its going to be a very lean Christmas at my house this year, but I will still buy a
toy for and donate some money to the Salvation Army. This year more than any with the state of the economy many folks are hurting,
no job, no food, no presents all you have to do look around you to see just how many of your neighbors are hurting.
With that said I will donate a set of six kids arrows from 3 Rivers, give me the address and I will have them shipped from 3 Rivers directly to the childs house.
here's a link to the arrows.

Now who has an extra quiver?
Merry Christmas all :)
-
Now that is the spirit!! Thank you Dana. I'm sure a young man or woman on Christmas morning is going to be warming your heart from where ever they may be when the open this gift you have given..
-
knight d, youre a saint ;D that is a real nice bow though, the bamboo's color is amazing-im sure that bow's gonna make a kid happy, and my money's on the el destructo jr. ;D god bless you, man. jimmy
-
David arrows are ordered and on the way to your house. I figured it would be best if they shipped with the bow :)
Ok all we need now is a quiver, shooting glove/tab and a bracer, remember its better to give than recieve guys :-*
-
Dana Me and my wife would like to thank you for your generosity and for making a difference in one childs Christmas ! It is people like you that make others believe in angels!!
-
No problem David :) Now quit making Cora process sinew she has a bow to build ;) ;D
-
LMAO!!! Ok I'm going to help her lay it out today!! I promise..By the way she is getting preety good at processing sinew.. ;D
-
Thanks for thinking about others this time of year.
If you could put my daughter Lauren's name in the hat I would really appreciate it. She is 11 and is just too big for the fiberglass one she has used. I also have two boys 9 and 7 coming up behind her so I know it would likely get years of good use.
thanks again for the generosity for both the bow and the arrows.

Any news on a quiver? When will you need the stuff. I do have some leather that may work for a plains style quiver but am not sure that I have the time to get her together before you need it....PM me with details please.

Allright I am in...I traded John (formerbutcher) a knife for a nice white buckskin to do a plains quiver for myself but it IS Christmas so I will work up a plains style quiver for the set. I already made contact with David so I will send it directly to the winner next week. Better get after it I guess lol.
-
Nice jesture, Dave, Dana and Ryan ! That hide will make a sweet quiver for some lucky kid.

Oh thats a pretty set...Lauren is going to be one happy girl. I am going to try and get mine sent out today. My car wouldnt start yesterday so I could not get to the Post office. Its minus 11 right now and that is UP from yesterdays minus 20.

Rick keep your eye out in the mail .. ;)
-
Rick Has received the Set.. Now I'm just looking forward to seeing It all togather with a smile.. ;)
-
Pictures, wheres the pictures ;D
-
Has he gotten the quiver yet? Since it went seperately...I HATE the waiting part of it getting there...makes my stomach all knotty inside grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
-
I'm not sure if the quiver made it yet ??
-
No worries gentlemen. The bow, arrows, quiver and arm guard are wrapped and waiting for christmas eve.
I decided to give the set to my son Logan instead of his sister. I thought it over and I think he would get more use out of it and its just the right size for him.
I'll be sure to take some pictures after he opens it and post them.
merry christmas and thanks again for the generosity.
Rick
-
Thats cool Rick 8) Dying of anticipation here though. Come on dad can't we open a present early please, please, please :D

Ewwwww....your Sick!!!!!!!!

LOL....been told that a time or two. It takes a special kind of "mind" to be a middle school special education teacher I guess. I do have ONE can of jellied cranberry sauce in the cupboard right now too....saving it for a special occasion
-
Gentlemen,
Here are the long awaited photos. Sorry about the wait but its been kind of crazy around the house the last few days.
Again I'd like to thank everyone that contributed to this wonderful gift. Logan really likes it and thought that it was so cool that he had a real bow now (other than the green fiberglass one).
This is my first time posting pics so bear with me. I'll post them each as separate posts.
Rick
