Pass around bow question

[Ironman]

I remember reading about pass around bows. My question is exactly how this works. More to the point, do people donate money to have a bow built, and then get their turn to use it?

The reason I bring this up is because I remember people talking about the need for a right and left hand bow.

Well it just hit me that Wapiti makes such a bow. Keith Chastain is a friend of mine, that has built several bows for me. They are great shooters.

But not only does he make a right and left hand long bow, he also makes a bow with dual weight options. For example, Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear has a long bow that is a 60# and 52#, depending on how it is strung.

I was just wondering if Keith could make a right/left hand bow, with the dual weight option, that way EVERYONE who wanted to, could participate.

What do you guys think. I could call Keith if you guys think this would be a good idea.

The Top sticky of this forum. bow is built and #2 has it right now. 20 donated $ to get it built and it goes to them first then who knows how many may get to shoot/hunt with it.

That's great. Wonderful write up as well.

Didn't know this bow was made, or if this would be the only one. Just thought that a right/left hand, and multi draw weight bow would cover the gamet, guess I was mistaken.

I have the bow right now and it is both right or left handed. Your not mistaken, just a bit late

Yeah, It appears that way.

Guess I'll try the right/left multi weight pass around elsewhere.

can you get some details on cost, weight, etc.? It might not be a bad idea to do a second one in the future, especially for those that missed out on the first one. it will be two years before we get a chance at the current pass arounder.

Sure, but don't want to step on any toes here, or cause some kind of split between groups.

I just thought that a right/left hand bow, coupled with multi draw weights would include more people. It would make sense that a bow would take more than two years to get around to being open for someone, considering that every contributor would get the bow for a month.

But as stated before, I don't want to cause any friction here, whatsoever!

It's hard to step on toes around here. We are all just having fun and for the most part, don't take ourselves to seriously.

If you do decide to get another bow up and going, you can put me on the list.

[bob sarrels]

Would not be stepping on any toes around here.

I'm game. Give us the 411 on what you had in mind.

[Uncle Saggy]

Yup

I would in for another. Always fun to shoot a new bow.
