Need a or some volunteers

[Norm Sauceman]

I have a fellow in Georgia who has had a long battle with a heart condition. I need some help in granting him his wish. He wants to get a bow so he can deer hunt. We need everything. Bow, sights, release, rest, arrows, broadheads and practice tips and whatever else we can bless him with. Nothing fancy, of course, these folks never ask for anything fancy, they just want to go. If you have a full set-up you would like to donate or sell for a "cheap" price, let me know. You can either help with a little or a lot, in my book, they are the same. If you feel like adopting this man for yourself, let me know and I will turn over his contact information to you and you can handle it. The DHNA will take care of any costs you can not.

This is why I am here at these boards, to let folks like you get involved to help. I hardly ever beg, but I sure ask a lot of you folks in here. This should be a simple thing and not too hard to acomplish. Email me or just post to this thread if you have pieces or parts and what you want to do.

I do not have a complete setup, But I can donate broadheads,sights,a stabilizer, and whatever else I can scrounge up. Let me know and I will look around to see what else I got.

Norm,,,my man I have 1 TM hunter Style rest, and 1 velcro strap on caliper release and 1doz. 100gr. practice tips for carbon shafts I can send out if this will help...It's not much but they are yours just let me know if these items are needed and I'll get them out ASAP....

OOOPs,,, the rest is for a lefty, but maybe it can be traded in for a right hand rest.....sorry

[Norm Sauceman]

No hurry yet, lets keep this one going for a few days and see what we can get. Thanks guys.

How much can this guy pull back Norm? Dartonman sold me a bow a few years back that is just sitting here taking up space. I believe it's minimum pull is 60 pounds. Can he handle that much pull in his condition?
If I donate the bow, can you give me a receipt so I can write it off at the end of the year?
Let me know.
Tom

[Norm Sauceman]

Sure can. I think 55 - 60 pounds would be about it. Let me know what it is worth and I will get you a receipt and letter. I will then also get you his mailing information.

[bulldawg]

It's worth $60. It will be a couple of days or more before I can get it packed and shipped.
It's an older XI Horizon. I think it's 60 to 70#.
Email me his name and address at bulldawg53115@netzero.com. Thanks.

What about arrows?? I have some Gold Tip xt 3555 that are too short for me. I think they're 27 1/2"?????? They would be a LITTLE underspined, but faster than the 5575 out of his bow. I shot them at 60 lbs. with no problems! They have been laying around and I can't sell them, so might as well donate if they will work. I can refletch them too. Can't do much being a college student, but I'll do as much as I can!! Let me know about the length!!

[Norm Sauceman]

What do you think Tom? Would he need them?

[bulldawg]

I think they would be a bit short for this bow. Unless someone has an old overdraw that they would donate for it.
Anyone out there in the forums that has an old overdraw that they would be willing to donate to the cause?? Step up if you do, and we could set this man up good.
Thanks

[JimT]

Did you get everything you needed Norm?

[Norm Sauceman]

I think we did. Thanks to Bulldawg for the bow and equpipment he sent.

Bulldawg, do you think he will need anything else? If so, would you post extras he may need here?

[buckee]

That's pretty cool...way to go guys

[bulldawg]

He will need a decent rest, sights, arrows, and broadheads, release, and a quiver, if anyone has any they can part with.

[VermontHunter]

bulldawg,

I have a used Archers Choice 3 pin sight and a used Velcro stap caliper release, that I can give up for a good cause if they are what you are looking for....
