Slamo g..... To be honest, I have been made fun of and dis- respected dozens if not hundreds of times over the last 30 years. But my attempt to gift this bow to you was a sincere and honest effort to make a new friend. Sorry it came upon deaf ears.

I know, it was also a lame way for me to meet someone who I truly respect. A decade and a half before I had something going on in the fancy target rifle business, believe it or not, I dabbled in making some specialized archery equipment that you just could not walk into an archery shop and buy.

Back in those days, what I found about about guys who are really into archery, is that they pretty much fell into two groups. The " Beautiful People " that looked down upon on the " Others ". Truthfully, if any of these guys had any money to spare from the crappy State or Fed jobs they were so proud of, they would be shooting fancy guns and not using the same old lame ammo, meaning arrows over and over.

So here is what I'd like to do here. Bob, Parker, Sky Guy, and yeah hell why not include Todd, I'm willing to offer up this old school archery technology in an auction of some sort. For me, if I can see someone using and appreciating all of the time and effort put into the archery setup then it's a win for me.

Who wants to start the bidding ? How about two dinero ?

Thing is the money should go to something that is going to help kids interested in hunting and fishing. I don't want a penny.

Slamo g. Please don't finally respond and infer that you would like a cut of the auction money since I offered it up to you first. You had your chance.

Cheers Marv.
