Title: Free One Year Subscription to Primitive Archer
Post by: JW_Halverson on September 14, 2013, 05:54:36 pm
I am fast approaching my 6,000th incident of running off at the keyboard and I want to make it up to someone by giving them a subscription to Primitive Archer.

I got some simple rules for the contest (this contest is not endorsed nor sponsored by Primitive Archer, it is the sole responsibility of me).

1) You must not have a current subscription to Primitive Archer Magazine
2) You must not have had a subscription in the last 3 years
3) You must have less than 300 posts
4) Active military personel get their entry doubled

If you meet those requiments, send me a PM and you will be entered. 

Entries must be postmarked by the 21st of September, 2013. Only one entry per household. Offer void in Antarctica. If you are unable to post an entry by Private Message, write your bank routing numbers and account numbers on the back of a $20 dollar bill and send that.  You mileage may vary. This product has been certifid kosher and gluten free, however it may contain nuts or nut residue. I shouldn't have said that, it could be taken wrong. I apologize.

Geeze, you've got a lot of opinions don't you J-Dub!  Weren't you just at 2000 a few weeks ago?  :P >:D

Ha ha.  Congrats on another milestone.  Way to spread the love.

Thumbs up JW! Can't say that I'm gonna do this again, I made it through the gifted subscript w/o the wife finding out.  Been over a month and I'm pretty sure the bank statement has come and gone.  Good on you Brother, dpgratz

Only two people have jumped in.  Hey newbies, this is not a marketing scheme.  It's my way of supporting a magazine I love and want you to love too.  This forum has done me a lot of good over the years and I want to show my appreciation by paying it forward.  No strings attached, no hook hidden in the bait.

J Dub, perhaps if this was in a different section of the forum it would get more attention. 

Or maybe you're just a shady character...  >:D

Hey, I already got two contestants.  One way or the other, I got someone to sign up for a subscription.  Anyone else want in on this, just send me a p.m.

Well, I don't really qualify, but you've motivated me to get off my Tooukus and order up a subscription to the magazine.  I keep meaning to, but I don't suppose my good intentions do a danged thing for the bottom line over there.

Something came up and I will not be able to check internet again until probably Monday.  But that's not a big deal because your entries are time stamped when they arrive.  Keep 'em coming.  I have four now. 

BUT WAIT!  THAT'S NOT ALL!

I decided that if I get ten entries, I will double the give-away...that's right, TWO subscriptions will be given out!

If folks would be willing to bring this topic to the top (ttt) daily for me, I'd sure appreciate it.  I wanna give two subs, people.  Come and get it!

No sleek.  I'd know it was you.  To quote the line from Jeremiah Johnson, "Been hearing' you for three days and smellin' you for a week!"

I got a brief break to come in and check things!  Glad I did...several new entrants, got 7 now!  Three more and I double the prizes!

All right, drawing is done.  From the seven entrants, I drew Seminolewind and Olanigw.

Yeah, I know I said I would double the prize count if I got ten entrants, but you know what my answer to that is...."There are three types of folks in this world. Them what's good at math, and them what's not."

I am contacting the winners to get their details and will be calling the good folks at P.A. to set them up with their subscriptions as soon as I have their ducks in order.

To LITERALLY everyone on this forum.  Thank you for sharing good information, stimulating imagination, pushing the boundaries of primitive archery, proving old rules and breaking them when need be, and best of all...for passing it on!

Congrats to the winners!! I guess I need to be careful and keep my post count low for when JW hits 10k posts, LOL.

I switch the rules up all the time.  I'm bad that way.

I've heard from both winners, so I guess I better pick up the phone and call Calendargirl.  HAH! And all this time you thought I was doing this for YOU guys when in reality, it's a reason to call her up on the phone!  BWAHAHAHAHAHA!    ;D
