Terry, did you mean June 2021???? June 2020 is only 8 months away.
Bisch
Yes Sir...I was in too big a hurry...
I'll fix it.
What 2 weeks you want?
Anything in Oct, Nov, Dec. Deer and pigs.
Bisch
I've been on John's site before, looks like some great sticks!
That bow is beautiful.
OK Bisch....you can be 1st...November 1 to 12th is yours....allowing 3 days for shipping if that suits you as that's the itinerary we've been using for years.
I would like to try it out in August.
Hogs and jack rabbits.
That'll work fine, Terry!!
Thanks!
Actually, in years past, we have had the bow for a month, but I can see where the 2 week thing is good because it gets the bow into more hands during the passaround time.
Bisch
Terry, are you going to start a sticky thread at the top of the powwow for us to record our adventures with the bow, or do we just keep using this thread???
Bisch
Terry,
Sir can you clarify now before the pass a round starts if each person should sign the bow after use?
In the pass I asked this question and got a mixed reply.
I'd like to give it a try in December, the later in the month the better! I'll be hunting whitetails.
Bisch....You are correct....
In the beginning it was every 2 weeks but that seem to cause issues so we did go to a month..... I'll edit the original post as such..... Thanks
And yes .....Once the bow gets moving I'll start a thread and sticky it to the top you bet!!!
I'll stay off the list cause I have one of his one-piece classics with carbon front and back. And will shortly have an Apollo T/D carbon to add to my arsenal of arrow flingers ( had the Classic back in Tx. for 2 days and made a kill with it )...
John is a great guy and it surprises me not he is doing this for the kids....
Class act all the way , Thank you sir...
,,,Sam,,,
Im a recurve guy but i own 2 of Johns apollo longbows, they are top notch in every way.
how about september...elk, deer, bear, wolves and grouse
I always signed up for Faith in years past because I shoot both ways and that way more folks could shoot Hope . I was blessed to own the 2009-2010 Faith Dryad Orion. WOW. I'd love a shot at carrying Hope in October or December 2020 for deer and coyote, April 2021 for turkey and coyote, or January 2021 for bunnies and coyote.
I'll get a list started this week.....I know Charlie Lamb was interested as well....

FAITH will be ready to hunt in January ...you want her then?
I would love to be on the list for Faith.
Jeff
Faith is a good thing in every month! If Faith is available, I'd be honored to carry her afield.
Sorry for miss spelled words...optometrist dialated my eyes....still can't see squat on this phone!!!
Thanks guys....keep them comming.... :campfire:
Need more hunters.....

I cant believe folks are not lined up around the block! That bow makes me think of powder snow up to my knees and gray bucks with snow on their backs !
I would like Nov. 2020 if no one else has picked it.
David
Forgot to add will be deer hunting with it.
David ...got you on the list....
Need more hunters.........
Thanks Terry. John set up at the Cloverdale Nationals this year. Got to see his bows first hand. Didn't get time to shoot one and am really looking forward to this.
David
:clapper:
thanks to JT traditions for making this possible. I would be getting in on this, but I have one being built. I had the pleasure of shooting one of his bows before ordering, you WILL be impressed with this bow.
get signed up for this great opportunity now.
Great...everyone wants to pass.... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
Folks better get their names on this calendar or I'm going to start begging Terry to let me hunt Faith one month and Hope a different month....and its not like I dont have enough bows of my own fighting for playing time. :archer2:

You aren't going to have to beg!!! Just tell me when sir!!!
I would like Faith in April 2020
Thanks, Jeff
Terry, I can take hope in January 2020. I'll be able to take it to Daniels annual hog hunt in Louisiana and let some folks try it out there too!
If it's still open I'll take October 2020 otherwise March 2021.
October would be for whitetail and March would be rabbits and other small game.

Terry, please put me on the list for Faith for either January for small game or October 2020 for deer and bear.
Mark K and Jeff...you bet on Faith...
All you hope guys are set....get us some more hunters!!!
Thanks Terry

Thats a dandy !!! Looking forward to seeing it in person and although I am a LEFTY I will fling a few arrows with er in Bear Camp & she will get passed around in camp :-)!!
TOM.....Faith should be in camp!!!
Shes going out today to Bisch if I get his address.... :knothead:
Really great shooting bow!!!
Sent in an email!!!!
Bisch
Just saw this!!!
I emailed You from a different account that you must not have received or it wait to Spam...... I have not been able to track my tradgang address for a few days...
Anyhow shes shipped!!!!.....
Since you got shorted you can pick out another month if you would like ....just look at the 1st post of mine and pick out an open slot if you want to hunt with her again.... You can do this at any time either before or after your time with her now.
Go have fun with her and take pics!!!
Since I'm next after Bisch I can defer until later and he could keep it thru December. That way it would save on shipping. If that works for y'all, I would take it in April for spring turkey season.
Let's leave it the way it is. If it works for me and I want another go with her, I'll just sign up for another month if it's still available then.
Bisch
What's the list look like for Hope?

Scroll up to the top of this thread, and the list is in the first post. You can see what's taken and what's open there.
Bisch
I'll try Hope in February 2020, please. She may also go to Granger Ranger Xtreme Hunt, for hogs.
Bicsh....She should be there today.
I'll be watching for it!!!!
Bisch
Hopefully it's set up...I've set them up since the beginning and she should be good to go. I shot her a lot during downtime on a hunt in KY and maybe she will be good to go for you....she sure was for me.
Terry, are you going to start a sticky thread, or do we just continue on this thread?

Caleb...April is yours!!!
Thanks bud!! :campfire:
Mr. Green I'll take her der and pig hunting in December of 2020.

Mr. Green, Bisch had asked if I wanted Feb 2020 on the other thread and I positively affirmed that. Initial request here 11/11/2019.
Wud....you backed out of our hunt in Feb....did you forget?
No, its a monetary thing. Can I get Hope in March 2020?
I just meant that's where she's going in February....
Got you down for March.
Thanks so much! Early March should still be cool enough to chase pigs at Granger before the green-up.
