I shared my cancer story and buying a Bear recurve on another thread. I received so many well wishes and prayers, it was humbling. This site is awesome!!!
Although I still take chemo everyday, the good Lord has me well enough to sit in the woods this fall. I can't wait! So... I post another thread on my desire to purchase a light weight long bow and how Im wanting to buy them all from all the bowyers.
I recieved a PM from a gentleman in Texas that had one he would give me. Well, my mind went to racing around and of course I'm thinking that nobody would give a bow away that was any good. We texted and PMd for a bit and lone behold this gentleman sent me a beautiful 64 inch, light poundage Long Bow!!!! I want to say a huge thank you to Rick Alexander aka Alexander Traditional for the gracious and somewhat unbelievable gesture he did for me. Thank you Rick, and when I get down by you, dinner is on me!!! Thank you!!! :notworthy: :clapper:
Tremendous Gesture Rick!!! :clapper:
Attaboy Rick!!!

You're quite welcome Pete. Enjoyed talking with you the other day. Thanks for the dinner and maybe a six pack!
Just a six pack?? Lol
Way to go Rick, very gracious, caring, generous :pray: :clapper: :clapper:
Here is a pic that doesn't do it justice![attachment=2]
It's a shooter for sure. :archer2: :clapper:
Is that a Holm Made Osprey?
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Awesome gesture by Alex.
Holm made are superb longbows.
Congrats on your good fortune and best of wishes for a full recovery from your health concerns!
This bow is called a Shrike.
Good on you Rick. Have to say I have found a lot of good folks in the traditional community.
Got it today! Thank you Rick! Hope to shoot it tomorrow
Good deal, hopefully you two get along.
Class act Rick. :archer2:
