BOW GIVEAWAY #2!

So about this time last year I decided to give a bow away; never did I dream it would take off like it did. As a result of the kindness of other Bowsiter’s (ki-ke, The Rookie and one more who prefers to remain anonymous) two fine young men mired in tough family circumstances that were nothing short of heartbreaking were given a distraction that altered their lives. I’ve been blessed by archery and bow hunting for over 50 years and am excited to start the process again and see where God leads this year! I have another great Bear Archery bow, a fully equipped Bear Moment that I’d love to get in the hands of a deserving young person. This bow has an adjustable draw weight of 55 to 70 pounds and a draw length of 26.5 to 31 inches. It has a Trophy Ridge 7-pin React Pro sight, HXL drop away rest, 9” stabilizer and 2 piece quiver. I’m throwing in 1/2 dozen Carbon Express Maxima Red Badlands arrows, six Muzzy Merc broad heads, a TruFire Hardcore release, a pack of Rocky Mountain field points and some Nockturnal lighted nocks. This thing is ready to rock!!! In a perfect world I’m looking for a teenager or young person who hunts (or has expressed an interest in hunting) and doesn’t have or can’t afford a nice bow. If you know of a good candidate, send me their story (via EMail only please ([email protected]) ……name, age, location and a little history). If the person I choose lives close to Atlanta, Georgia, they’re welcome to come to my home and I’ll set the bow up for them and we’ll shoot a little. If they’re out of the area I’ll ship it all on my dime. Please note that this is not a youth bow meant for a kid….I want someone to be able to hunt with it this fall so they need to be able to pull 55 pounds or more comfortably and have a 26.5” draw or longer. So spread the word and I look forward to helping steer someone a little deeper into their enjoyment of God’s Great Outdoors (I’ll choose the winner in 3 or 4 weeks). Thanks. #blessedbybowhunting #godsgreatoutdoors #payitforward

Jasper!
What an incredible thing you started!! The kid in these pics was living in a dumpster fire of a home life when he received this gear from a guy he (or I) never met. He heard me tell the kids story and less than a week later the packages started coming. This kid needed to buy NOTHING to start bowhunting! High end bow, sight, tight spot quiver, arrows, release, broadheads, hats, knife....I'm telling you that the kit was incredibly complete! I enrolled him in the hunter safety program where he received certs for archery, shotgun and rifle. He was at my house no less than 3 days/week, learning how to shoot. On weekends, with my other boys, we went to my farm to hang stands, trim trails and shooting lanes and learn a bit about reading sign, understand importance of wind direction, etc. He was off his rocker on opening day of archery season! He saw a bunch of deer, but didnt loose an arrow. He was very careful about waiting for the right shot. I got him out 4 or 5 times last fall. He saw deer every time, but did not loose an arrow. He is now absolutely addicted!!
All thanks to the generous heart of a guy that loves the Lord, loves bowhunting and loved on this kid without ever meeting him. I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to be along for the ride!!
This stuff is the best of Bowsite on display!!

Dang it Steve, took 3 attempts to finish your post with my eyes watering up. Look at what all you’ve done for that young man, what a mentor you are sir. Yea, myself and Mr. Anonymous sent a couple of bows but YOU are that young man’s hero! I can’t wait to see how this bow season turns out for him. Thanks and God bless

This is a great thing. I hope someone is keeping track of the young people that have been helped out like this. It would be cool to see "the rest of the story" of these young folks a few years down the road and see how things turned out for them. They may even join the BS community??
