Need Help Finding A Home For My Compound Bow...
 
I still have my compound bow from when I was a young-in and want to find a good home for it. I am left handed so naturallythe bowis a left handed.

Requirements:
-I would like for it to go a child since it got me started in hunting andshooting a bow.
-The person needs to love hunting or really wants tobe taught howto.
-The person picking up the bowneeds to be able to drive close to Denton, Texas if they are interested.

Yes,the bowwould be free of charge. Please post or PM me your situation and why you or your son/daughter deserve this bow. P.S. it probably needs to be restrung.

I don't wanna talk you out of an INCREDIBLE thing you are doing........But are you really sure you want to part w/ your first bow?? Mine was an old Whitetail Hunter, and it still hangs on my wall....Camo tape on the limbs and all.

Yet another reason this is the best site on the net......Very cool.

I rather it go to a good home and get used by some young budding hunter.

heck of a noble thing to do - very positive for the future of hunting - I do not know any left handed youngsters but would pay for shipping it to them here in NC if I did

This isa great thing you're doing. I sincerely hope you find somone worthy of this gift. I know my girlfriend wants a bow, but I wouldnt accept yours as I don't yet know if she'll enjoy shooting and hunting.

If someone isn't available to pick the bow up, I'll either pick it up in Denton and pay to ship it or I'll put up the shipping cost to a well deserved kid.

i have a 10 year old son that is left handed. He has only shot recurved bows a few times with the boy scouts and once when we took the boys to an indoor range. I can't afford to get him one at this time because work is very slow for me but i think he would enjoy shootingone . What is the poundage i can't read it from the picture ?

Nice gesture to want to give an old bow to someone who will use it. I applaud you. I have owned several bows in my life but always keep at least 1 for backup.
