I used to go to all the events when they were at Tannehill. I set aside $100.00 for the auction. One time there was really nothing for me to bid on. Finally bid on a birdhouse, got it up to $50.00 and other bidders dropped out so I bid $75. Auctioneer told me I already had top bid, haha so I bid $100. Again he told me I had top bid at $50. I asked him if he wanted the $100 or not???? Bidding against yourself really screws with them. Money goes to Children's Hospital so bid high and bid often.

I have surgery the day before this shoot. I really hate to miss it.

Good luck with the surgery. Should be a good one. By the way, the winner of Steve’s bow get one built to his specs.

Waiting list if you order a Northern Mist bow is two years. The auction bow made to your specs will be yours in a month after winning

If hunter wants to come alone we will do five days

Great chance to have a custom made Northern Mist longbow in less than 30 days. Online maximum bid due by 12:00 Central time
