 :readit:I know this is a long shot!!!  :help: :help:

Last May I moved to WI and mailed my bows ahead of me.  Due to miscommunication, I was under the impression they all made it.  Unfortunately I am now starting to unpack and find I am short one package. I am hoping the bow ended up being sold off to someone on here eventually.

I am missing a Big River Long Bow 45 @ 28. Chechen Riser with red accent stripe.  Dirty Bamboo on the bely and curly Maple on the back.  There are 2 distinct stains, one on the upper limb and one on the lower limb. The Bow has the word "Dad" written on it and I believe my Name.

I mailed this through USPS but no longer have the receipt.

If you have this bow or know of its whereabouts, please let me know. It is a very special bow to me, not only was it my first, but it got me and my dad back into archery and I took my first archery deer with it.

The other bow in the lost package was a self bow made by Trad Ganger Glenbow and gifted to me. Its a beautiful Osage bow. I took my first chipmunk via bow with it.

These 2 bows were of the 3 I would never sell.

Thank you in advance.

Respectfully,

Charlie Janssen   :pray:

Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Thank you to the Trad Gang Members who have offered help so far.

Call outs to Big Ed and Fred Cioffi.  Both Class acts...  No I have not had a reunion with these bows but I have a little hope and renewed faith in humanity.  Thank you again.

I remember that deer!! Hope you find that bow. It is probably sitting in the back of some self collecting dust in a warehouse. I would call and try to find out where the bow went through and start calling and ask them to look around.

Really hope you get the bow back!  I usually check different classifieds sites, auction sites, etc at least once a week. I'll keep my eyes open for your bow.   Pat
