help our troops!!

[shortfatguy]

hey guys i have been talking with a friend of mine from Hibbing Mn who is stationed in Iraq at Al Taqaddum army base. He said they are the only base in all of Iraq to have an archery range!! the only problem is they are running low on supplies. Arrows, fletchings, glue, target tips. etc...

he asked if i could try to round some up for them and thats where you guys come in. if anyone has somethings they would like to donate from bows to practice tips please let me know!! I would love to ship them to our guys over there! Anything that we can do for them would be awesome to me!!! He is with E Co 134 FSC 2-136 cab. he is from northern minnesota and is in the national guard so alot of the other guys there are minnesota guardsmen also. If anyone can help or has any ideas please feel free to email me at [email protected] thanks in advance!!!

there is the address to ship the stuff to iraq direct

Anthony Everett

P.O. Box 655

201 Pierce street

Buhl, Mn 55713

that is my address in case anyone wants to ship smaller items to mee and i can combine them to save on the shipping costs. either way is fine by me as long as the guys get some stuff!!!

Will try and get some stuff from some cheesehead hunters and get em to ya or send them direct. Great idea.

[tealitup]

I just sent out a shipment - 50 arrow all refletched and field points. I may have more to ship next week.

What kind of bows do they have... what are the string lengths?

[shortfatguy]

tealitup,

i will ask about the bows and string lengths and post a list on here when i get it. I should be getting some pics and will post those on here also!!! thanks alot. i am sure the arrows will be appreciated!!!!!!

[bottomdweller]

Got about 10 bows all ready to go!!! Whats the best way to send them? Would the local armory ship them?

[shortfatguy]
