Hello Gang,
It is always amazing to me when people commit random acts of kindness and generosity.
I got home this evening to find a tube package! So, I took a minute to put on comfortable clothes and consider who would out of the clear blue, send me such a package.
Clint Anders? Osage Outlaw? I didn't know what to think.
Angie grabbed the iPad and we went outside to open the package. I was hesitant to shoot the bow immediately but couldn't resist. I've thought that a quick change in climate can be hard on a bow. It's solidly built and I think there is little to worry about.
The bow shoots fast and hard Clint.
Turns out, at the Classic, I gave Clint a nice complement on the bow and that was all it took for him to send it my way.
This is an example of why I enjoy this website so much and of course, the Tennessee Classic. You just can't find better people around.
Three cheers, Clint. If you need anything from my way, just hollar.

I'm glad you like it. The video was cool. I hope the humidity doesn't turn it into a wet noodle. It was supposed to get there yesterday. I was afraid it got held up because of the storm. I had visions of a pvc tube floating down a street.
-
I bet it'll shoot fine Clint. I'll keep her in the AC when the rainy season is in.

Beautiful bow! Very cool thing you did outlaw. the short time I have been on the PA forum I have been amazed by the brotherhood and kindness that is here like no other forum I have seen. Congrats on the gift.

Nice bow Clint, I remember that one. You lucky dog, Steve, that's a nice suprise! And you have to live in Florida to be barefooted, in Baggies, with a Hoodie on when it's cold. ;D
-

-
Sweet bow! Clint is a great guy.. I'm sure jealous! >:D

Your not kidding Roger. Can people open the second video of the bow shooting?
If not, I'll repost it up. It was giving me trouble last night.

That's a fact Big A. It occurs to me that I need to "pass it on". What I think I'm going to do is to build a bow and send it to someone as a surprise, no strings attached, just as Clint has done. Perhaps we can start a tradition here and I'll start a thread to honor Clint's gesture. I'd be curious to see if it could keep going.
I'll reuse the good plastic tube he sent to me for another delivery.
The world needs more good surprises, after all.
Have a great day, everyone.

I think that is a great idea. Blackhawk kind of started it. He sent me a sweet bow out of the blue this summer. Coming home and finding a suprise bow on your front porch is an awesome feeling.
-
that is a great idea parnel.i am making stuff to suprise a few people right now.i just got done getting a few recently.i think i like giving more than recieving.the stuff i am making now is going to tennessee and michigan.if you guys do this,i will definitely be on board.there is going to be more from me coming to folks anyway.
-
Very well gentlemen. It's a plan. It will be fun to consider who will receive the bow...I already put in a few hours on it last night from a nice stave that has some character.
Blackhawk to OO to me to...
I'll have to think about this.
Enjoy the day, fellas.
-
Good idea...just choose wisely who you pick,so you know its someone who will keep passing it along.
-
You bet, I'll be considering it carefully Blackhawk. It shouldn't become a burden on someone, either. That is, to have to forward a bow. If I send something out...no strings attached.
-
will the pass-a-long be only bows.i don't make great ones,but i do make other things.let me know when you figure out all the details.thanks guys.
-
I don't know. Don't want to make any rules, just keep it pure.
