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. 8) 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. ;D
-
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 :)
-
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!
-
Boy! Someone's gonna leave the Classic grinnin' from ear to ear! (not that we all don't anyway ;D )
-
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? ;D
-
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.
-
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?
-
If Joe can't.....I sure Can......... >:D
-
Timo: I can make it work just fine. Its a beautiful bow, now I have to figure out a way to buy the winning ticket! I still haven't figured out how to post pictures. Am only a short time past the smoke signal stage in my life! Getting started on the quiver today! Thanks for making this work! Joe
-
If there is anything I can do Joe let me know.. I could make a couple of arrows.. they would be crooked and fly like crap if I build them .. but would help fill the quiver,,LOL
-
Ok that'll give me enough time to finish up some stuff and send some arrows to someone. Ill make 6 total. 3 with field points and 3 that someone can put some good stone points on. They will be about 29 inches long, and 45-50lb spine
-
Mike, don't forget to put your name on them. ;)
-
Hawk: Anything you make will up the ante on the raffle! Am missing you already. It would be great if Red Hawk can make it to the Classic Could use some more time getting to know him better Joe
-
You guy are to much,you are killing me with kindness,I still don't know what to say but thanks. :) :)

Pappy....We wouldn't do all this for just anyone...We all Love coming there...and spending time and tellin Lies with everyone...hell...We Luv ya man...... :-*...................... ;D
-
El-D is right and the thing that makes me keep up with all the messages is knowing how much talent, like minded and generous people there are on this site and the folks at Twin Oaks are the best! Besides what little I plan to do is for a selfish reason--keeps me busy with little chores during the long winter days! Joe
-
Dana: Sometime ago you sent me a neck knife and I am asking your permission to add it to the bow and arrow quiver we are putting together?? If its OK I will make a place for it to be carried on the quiver. This is turning out to be a lot of fun and several of the fellows have offered to donate. Would be honored to add your name to that list! Thanks Joe
-
so, would you still like some arrows?

Joe I would be honored :) Don't think I'm going to get time to make any arra's :( So that would work just fine as the last 2 years I have donated
a knife and that will keep my record going. I'm hoping to get some blades cut out this weekend at work and get em finished before the classic :)
-
Joe have you already made the quiver?
-
Jesse: Am in the process of making it now. Have it cut out and need to add a few touches before stitching it up. I don't know how to post pictures although Stacey Huston has given me several lessons. ::) Am making it out of an Eland hide that was the biggest hide I ever had so hoping it turns out OK ::)
Aero: Please help with the arrows. The three with field points and the three for stones is great and poundage sounds great. 28" or 29" will fit just fine in the quiver. Be sure to put your name on them so everyone will know the history. Thanks Joe
-
ok, ive got a bunch made up, ill just pick the best three with the field points, and then make 3 more for stone fitting.
-
So I got the other 3 arrows made up that need stone points. Who do I send them to for attaching the stone points and get them to the classic..
-
Finally finished the plains style quiver that will be donated at the Classic this year. Have asked for help showing the picture so all the other donors can see what we are doing! Can you believe this old Indian can't post pictures on the PA site? ::) ::) Sure looking forward to seeing the Bow and arrows that Timo and aero and Mike Huston are going to donate! Joe
-
This is the quiver set that Wolf Watcher made for the Classic. Incredible work Pokie! 8) I'm sure this will boost the coffers at Twin Oaks at the 13th annual Tennessee Classic. I know I'm buying a few tickets for sure! ;D

DUDE THAT ROCKS :o :o

-
Awesome Setup! :) How much are tickets for the raffle? >:D
-
Several people have offered to donate to this setup: Timo with a beautiful bow, aero with several arrows, Pat B and Mike Hawk Huston with arrows, the turkey beard and spurs from Shannon, and the neck knife from DanaM. Sure hope it will work for the Twin Oaks gang! To be honest I wouldn't mind having the winning ticket myself! Joe
-
That is the most beautiful quiver I've ever seen!
I think I was supposed to post that picture a few days ago for you Joe :-[ I slap forgot...I'm sorry :-[
-
Shannon, you slack dog! ;) Your mind it in the turkey woods.
Don't worry, I've got your back. ;D

Thanks Pat, I'm glad somebody does. Actually, I read his e-mail about 3 o'clock in the AM and was "zombiefied". I didn't remember reading it the next morning and then went a day or two without checking my e-mail again.
