Title: Huge Favor
Post by: Machias on March 30, 2009, 10:41:45 AM: I am ordering a new bow from Sapphire Archery. I have thought about switching to traditional for years and I'm doing it this year. Really looking forward to it. I have shot a compound for the past 31 years. Here is my delima, the bow won't be finished until Aug time, of course I can't pick it up and just start hunting elk the next couple weeks after I get it. Does anyone have a nice, extra, recurve/longbow they would rent to me for the next 4 months? I will pay shipping and handling here and back (unless your local, and I can come pick it up). I will also agree to pay a replacement value should anything happen to it while I have it. I will take very good care of it, but if something did happen to it I would make it right with you. I'd like something in the 45-55# range @ 28" draw. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

If you wanted to pay mailing costs I would be willing to donate it to you for keeps. Not perfect with respect to finish. By that I mean some Fool { me } painted it camo years back. And I started to remove the paint. Just never finished. Under the paint is a beautiful bow though.

Post by: Machias on March 30, 2009, 08:45:30 PM: elksnout, thank you VERY much for the offer but my problem has most likely been solved. Seems Ernie has a bow nearly finished that was needing to be adopted. I can get one now and still have the other made for this fall. Best of both worlds!! Thanks again!
