Donations for the poor bowhunter foundation....
 

[:'(] after going over the financials with my wife this week, it appears thatI may have to put off my return to bowhunting yet another year. [>:]I found someone here that was willing to part with an older bow for a price that I might be able to swing, but its all the peripherals and stuff that are going to be needed to get it up to shooting par.... It comes with a fiber-optic sight , an originalwhisker buiscuit, some carbon arrows that are likely 2" too small(the bow is set at 27", I'm a 29.5", if memory serves), and some as yet to be named old broadheads. I beleive I might still have my old caliper release in a box somewhere, but that still leaves something in the neighborhood of $300 worth of stuff that I'd have to buy...

If only I could find a fantastically rich bowhunting fanatic to take pity on me and shower me with slightly used handmedown stuff....
lol... I can dream can't i????? :D

Tis no better price than free!... too bad I'm a righty... besides Brian's doing me a favor with his... ;)

besides... I'm not beggin for stuff... just tryin to be funny...

Ad to read: "ADOPTION SERVICE! Nice homes available for your last-years equipment."

Hmmm... that's kind of an interesting thought... Some sort of exchage program through pro shops or maybe a web site to help interested folks who otherwise might not be able to afford equipment... A good friend of mine who wasn't raised in the woods so to speak, would really like to get into bowhunting, but he waits tables for a living supporting a family of 3 going on 4(with no government assistance BTW).

Too many people would take advantage of it though I'm afraid.

If the bow shop would offer, maybe a rental service, or buy and sell some cheap used stuff- and advertise it, so people who don't go there normally would know about it- I've got plenty of friends who like me, are interested in bowhunting but aren't going to go spend $500 just to try it out and see if they like it, unlike me, they won't go do the research, find out what to look for in a bow, check out a few at ebay, ask some questions, make a few bids until one goes through... Actually, when I tried that a year ago nothing came through. I'd about lost interest due to the prices when I stumbled across one the pawn shop couldn't sell, being lefty! So it lasted long enough for me to catch the bug, it broke, I got lucky this time and ebay worked out. :)
It would also help keep people already involved in bowhunting,no chance to lose interest while they save up for a nicer bow. Of course, dealers would have a heckuva time selling those $1200 and up bows, if there was a cheaper alternative... :(

1/2 dozen Easton Carbon Excel 29.5". Pm me if you really need them. I don't remember but I think they are 8.5gpi. I was shooting them out of a 65# bow. Nasty Duravanes on them now but I may have some blazers laying about.

What gear are you short on? Let us know and perhaps I just might have an extra one or two laying around to help you out.

Where are you from again? Ohio isn't it?

I got 3x camo blazered and wrapped Gold Tip XT's for you from last year. I have a new dozen that will be of a different batch/weight for the upcoming season, so I won't be needing these ones. I might even be able to dig up some slick trick 125's to put on them for you. I don't have field points though. Let me know, and I will get them in the mail to you ASAP. Only thing I ask is to make sure you spend time in the woods this year, and when you have the $$$ to get your own pass them on to someone else that can use them and that would allow them in the woods too.
