holiday bow gifting...
« on: December 25, 2012, 11:47:31 am »
first off, i didnt make this bow, it was gifted to me by our own bow master half eye
have a younger int he family who has been wanting a bow
he made it very clear he did not want a compound, he wanted a "real" bow
his pops was having a hard time finding anything other in the area hunting/archery shops
so i decided to give up one of the sweet bows half eye sent me



joey is a natural archer, he had it down quickly
and he LOVES this bow half eye!!
he ran in later in the day(he spent every possible moment outside shooting that bow)
he wanted me to see he "almost" shot a robin hood



thanks rich for making it possible for me to make this young man so happy!

Sadie, it is all in the spirit of the season. Just like Rich gifting the bow to you, you passed it on as a gift to a young archer. I'm sure Rich would be pleased with your spirit of gifting.
  Happy Holidays to you!

I can see it now...an archeological dig site (in the future one day) comes across one of the many Half Eye bows gifted to others.  ;) Nice idea, Sadie. You're right...he does look like a natural!! :)

That is just sweet all around.  He looks like a natural for sure. 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Good job both of you. Ol' Rich is a giver!
