I"ll try to not drag this out too much. I had an experience while at Cloverdale this past weekend I need to talk about. After shooting the course Sat. morning I wondered the vendors tents for a bit and while going by Big Jims, I spoke a little bit with Preacher, Big Jims accomplice. Fast forward to late that afternoon, I went into town for pizza with my wife. We were camped at the RV park. I decided to fuel up the diesel to be ready to hook up the camper the next morning and head out.
After fueling up my truck wouldn't start. So after calling AAA, we were left waiting for quite a while. Side note: if you have AAA it is a joke!!!. About 2.5 hours into our wait I saw Preacher at the station. After talking with him, he volunteered to help us. Trying to jump start my truck was unsuccessful and after a bit the first? AAA guy shows up. I thanked Preacher wholeheartedly and he gave me his number if I needed anything. The AAA guy wasn't much help and they were sending another guy. After about an hour of waiting for the 2nd guy, Preacher calls me to check on us and see if there was anything he could do to help.
This company of traditional folks never fails to amaze me. I have bought things from Big Jim before but Preacher had never seen me before and he went out of his way to help. I know where I'll be buying everything I need from now on.
They wiil give cloak as well as their coat.
Very excellent! Trad guys as a rule are great people!
Yep, can't beat that with a gold stick! :clapper: :thumbsup:
They are good folk! Jim helped me out with a bow at Cloverdale and I got to look at their stuff in the rain LOL.
Jim & Preacher are awesome guys period !
Preach is a good dude! Makes a good bow too. I am not surprised by his actions in the least.
Awesome :thumbsup: :clapper:
Big Jim and his crew are all great folks, so hearing this is not a surprise at all.
Great story! I'll be looking them up at Compton's tomorrow.
None no better than Big Jim, Preacher and the whole gang!

I was at Compton's Rendezvous this past weekend, and the vendors booths close around around 5:00 PM. As a vendor myself, I don't get a chance to check out other booths. I was walking past Big Jim's tent at 8:00 PM I saw him in there restocking supplies and cleaning up. I mentioned I need to get some arrows for my sister and just needed a suggestion and I would stop back the next day when he was open. Jim wouldn't have that. "Just get them now." he said. So here he was. and his associate gluing points on with hot melt in the heat with the sun bearing down under the tent flap. There is no rest for his kindness. Mike
Don't surprise me. :goldtooth:
