Classic Donation Needs Help

[Wolf Watcher]

Not sure where to post this, but thought it might work here.  Shannon gave me an idea with his "fill the case with points" for a raffle for the Classic.  I want to donate a plains style bow and arrow quiver for a raffle at the classic.  Since I am not a bowyer, I wonder if anyone would donate a bow and someone else would donate some arrows for the Classic?  The quiver will be designed for a stick bow of around 60-63" end to end and will be made with an eland hide and elk or moose trimmings.  I know several fellows have mentioned they plan to donate a bow and hope one of you will offer to put it in the quiver.  I don't know how to post pictures, but the quiver is one like my own that I use for hunting horse back.  Mike Huston uses the same style quiver on all his hunts.  Here's hoping someone will help me out with this effort!  Joe

Joe, this is a great idea.     If I had the time I'd make a bow to go with your quiver. Maybe I can make a few arrows for it. I need a donation item for the Classic anyway.  A nice set from a few different PA folks should bring about a bidding war and that would be great for the Classic and Twin Oaks.
  Thanks for bringing this up.

I would be up for making some bamboo arrows, but they'd just have field points on them

Wolf watcher, The bow I was going to donate will meet the length requirements,It is a flat bow of design but it is a light weight bow,(40# @ 28")

aero:  A couple arrows would be fantastic with your name attached.  It would be best to send them to Pappy and we can put a couple of heads on them.  Thanks for the help!
Timo:  That would be a great bow and would work well in the quiver.  If you want to send it to Pappy or myself with your name on it we can get it put together with the arrows at the Classic.  Pat B said he would donate a couple of arrows also and the more arrows the better!    I will be glad to reimburse you and aero for any postage you might have.  How wide is the bow as the quiver needs to fit as it will be open at both ends?  Hawk Huston uses a tie on the bottom end to hold his bow in place, but I just it stuck it and it holds just fine.                  THANKS FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!  Joe

Joe, Tim is coming to the Classic I believe so couldn't he bring his bow with him when he comes? I don't know if aero is coming but if not he could send them on to whomever. I'll bring a couple of my hunting arrows with me. Areo, field point arrows are OK too. We all need target arrows.

I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow of the bow along with some specs for size. I already have it finished and have signed it along with "TN classic 2010" It's Osage self wood with timber rattler skins on it. And yes I am going to the classic,but I can send it to you if need be.

Joe I'll try and get a few arrows done also, no gaurantees but will try
The bow is 40#@28" eh Tim? Is it center shot? or shoot off the hand? Want to try and
make some arrows that are spined decently

[aero86]

This works out well for me cause I've got a bunch of shafts that are a lower weight.  Ill make some about 29" long, 40-45 lbs, unless its not center shot. Ill try to make about 6 of them.  When is the classic?  I won't be going I just need to see if I've got time!

[FlintWalker]

Boy!  Someone's gonna leave the Classic grinnin' from ear to ear!  (not that we all don't anyway )

[Timo]

The bow is NOT center shot,I have been shooting tonkins from it @ 28" I think those arrows are spined in the 50's, they shoot very well,but heck these arrows seem to  shoot out of bout any pound bow ya know?

[Wolf Watcher]

Shannon:  I'm already wanting to buy some tickets for the arrowhead case and this bow and arrow combination.  I sure do have a lot of people meeting to do there! 


aero:  I think the Classic begins April 30 thru May 2nd. 

[Timo]

The bow is 59 1/8" tip -tip,58" ntn. 1 1/2" at the widest points.

The skins are Mo. timber rattler, it was shedding as I skinned it and they are very thin and clean. the tips are lace wood. The limbs are asymmetrical. This bow shoots and holds it's reflex very well.

Just noticed the bow is 41#.... (not that one pound will make any difference)

Wolf Watcher, can you make this work?
