First let me say that I sincerely apologize that it has taken this long to get JCA his arrows. I would be a little ticked off also.
Having said that let me clear up a couple of things......
The arrows have been sent. I also did not ask for his business to "help out a small guy", He aproached me wanting arrows.
I have not given him "all the excuses in the book". He was told up front that I would have to order the bare shafts that he wanted because the shop only kept fletched arrows in stock (small shop). He asked if he could pick the colors of the blazer vanes and I said yes but I did not have every color available. He told me he wanted white and yellow. I immediately sent hem notice that I, as well as all of the distributers (Papes, Ellet Bros., Pats Archery, Hicks) were out of white blazers at the time and I did not have enough on hand to do his arrows. I placed them on back order from Papes.
He also knew up front that I was very soon to be moving to Birmingham from Dothan Alabama. The white blazers did not arrive before my move date so I made arrangements with the pro shop I worked at to ship them to me as soon as they received them. After about 2 - 3 weeks I received the blazers and made up his arrows. However, the house we moved in to was far out enough that I did not have internet access or even cable. All of his contact info was stored in the PM's at Archery Talk. The cable company actually had to build lines to the house and as of yesterday (5-2-05) I have cable and internet. That is why I have not been around and also why I didn't contact JCA. It wasn't by choice.
He did get my new number from the phone company and call me and I got his address so I could ship him his arrows and I had every intention to do so A.S.A.P.
As my luck usually runs, my trucks engine locked up for some reason and I was with out transportation for a week. Unintentionally his arrows were not an immediate priority as I had shell out $5000 to get another truck. Then to add more problems my dog was bitten twice in the right shoulder by a water moccasin and was in the vets office for a number of days on an I.V. getting anti venom (I'll post pics of the bite wounds later). Another $1000 almost.
So, I certainly had no intention of not sending JCA his arrows nor did I want to steal his money. Sometimes @#$% happens and I have had a plate full of it lately. I apologize that he was part of if.
This the same guy that ripped off someone on a elk hunt too?
FYI I have not done any business with any one concerning an elk hunt nor would I offer to do so. I'm no outfitter.
HNIJustin, I don't know where the "Even me
" comes from but I have never sold you, nor bought from you, anything at any time.
It sucks to hear you're having bad luck with your transaction with Bigbulls. I don't know the facts so I'll with hold judgement.
Adams, thank you for not jumping to conclusions. As for the rest of you....................... Nice to see that you are all so perfect.
