THE TRADITION LIVES ON, Signature Bow

[T. W. Harris]

Folks, I started a thread a short time ago titled, "SOMETHINGS COMING FOLKS".

Well, here it is, "THE TRADITION LIVES ON", signature bow.

The bow is a "TEMBO" from Howard Hill Archery Co. with a silver Elephant inlaid in the riser. The limbs are white glass where signatures will stand out.

Here are just a few of the many signatures of these torch bearers of traditional archery that will be represented on this bow.

G. Fred Asbell ~ Bob Lee ~ Gene & Barry Wensel ~ Byron Ferguson ~ T.J. Conrad ~ Dick Robertson ~ Monty Browning ~ Ron LaClair, with many others coming.

I'll be raffling the bow with the proceeds going to a local Boy Scout Camp and an organization called Children's Harbor, which works with extremely ill children.

There's also a plaque the bow will actually hang on.

The bow should be here very soon and I will be keeping everyone posted of the progress.

Even though I'm starting this thread now, I'll be really be kicking this endeavor off at this year's Howard Hill Southeastern Classic, June 2, 3 & 4, 2017.  The signature bow will be taking its journey across the country collecting the signatures and It will be drawn for at the 2018 Howard Hill SE Classic.

I will have to say that everyone one of these individuals were humbled to be asked to sign this bow.  In my opinion, this is why they are such outstanding torch bearers for traditional archery.

It's here, "THE TRADITION LIVES ON" bow!!!

Folks, this bow will start it's journey gathering signatures from some of the best torch bearers in traditional archery, starting at this year's Howard Hill Southeastern Classic.

It will then wind up, after making stops in Texas and Missouri, to the Compton Rendezvous for more.  I'll pick it up there and then send it to several states around the country before it gets back to me.

The bow will be raffled off at next year's Howard Hill SE Classic with the proceeds going to Camp Jack Wright, Boy Scout Camp and Children's Harbor which works with very ill children.  I'll be selling these raffle tickets throughout this next year.

[T. W. Harris]

Thanks Trenton, as of today, three of the gentlemen that are signing the bow are in the Archery Hall of Fame. I just found out a fourth will be inducted in 2018.

In my opinion, this bow just keeps getting better and better.

I can't say this enough, the money raised from the raffle of this bow will go to a Boy Scout Camp to help develop young men and Children's Harbor, helping chronically ill children.

Not to mention, a one of a kind bow.

[T. W. Harris]

Only thirty days away from the Howard Hill SE Classic, when I kick "The Tradition Lives On" bow.  I will start getting signatures from Byron Ferguson, Neil Byce & Steve Turay.

The Bow will then head to Texas for Bob Lee's Signature and then head to Missouri for Ken Beck's and Roger Fulton's signatures.

The bow will then be brought to the Compton Rendezvous for several more.
