Once again, I can respect your concerns,but at the same time if you do think this is a scam please try and keep that to yourselves and just bypass the post without some sort of comment. Or comment between yourselves. Just for you skeptical guys out there, have you ever had anything stolen? Ever had your house broken into? Were you ever not able to hunt because someone not only stole your equipment but your pride to ask for help? How did it make you feel? Please don't bring anyone down with your negativity. You don't think it's hard to lower your pride and ask for help? One thing thats most important here is the people that DO have a heart and are doing more than showing their support. The only thing I'm doing, which by the way was without sconer knowing or supporting it, is trying to get this guy set up to arrow a buck or doe in archery since his liscense are already bought. If you actually read his post about things being stolen you would have seen not only was his archery equipment stolen but his guns as well, including one passed down from generation to generation. Do you see anyone one here asking for a gun donation?? What about a bow donation?? The only thing you see here is good honest people offering to donate little items, with the exception of few, to help get this guy in the tree. If you read the post and replies at all before you jumped on here and started p*ssin people off you would see an offer, a very generous one at that by manuman offering a bow. Do you really think that if the 2 of us, since we're both "new", were trying to scam we woulda passed on that bow? Why did we? Because it's USELESS to a RIGHT-HANDED shooter!! So with all do respect, if you think this is some sort of scam, keep you idiotic smart a$$ comments to yourself and don't offer anything! Start reading all the comments from people, items being turned down that are no use, especially a bow that coulda been received and placed on e-bay if we were trying to scam people. Thanks toall the people showing POSSITIVE support. Sorry for the frustration because I really do understand the concern. But for GOD's sake read the whole damn thing and his original post before you place judgement.
