Happiness is
The look on a kids face when some one he has never met sends him a bow
The young man in the pic has been promised a new bow for the last 3 years but due to unforeseen circumstances the new bow never materialised well that all ended when I heard about his story.

I decided to send him my Diamond Victory all set up for hunting all he needs is some arrows, a draw lenght module and he is set to go.
Without anyone knowing I got his address and shipped him off my bow it arrived there yesterday around lunch time (thanks UPS). His father tracked me down through the shipping details and called me, he was a little upset that some stranger had sent his son a bow but soon calmed down when I explained that I had heard about his son and that it was my pleasure to make his son's dream come true.
When he opened the box his father told me he did not know who was the most excited him or his son
which probably explains the blurry pics he emailed me.

He has promised to send me some better pics and I will post them when I get them.
So just remember folks put a smile on a kids face even if you dont know them it will all come back to you sooner or laterand have a great Thanksgiving.

RE: Happiness is
That is cool. I guess I could give away my ancient Hoyt Gamegetter II. Although that may give someone more problems than pleasure.Does anyone know a needing soul? 50-60# 28"
