I posted this in the pay it forward forum (you all really need to check it out!) and in the dog house! Suggested I post it here:
I have a young man in my youth group who is just on this side of being a troubled teen. He lost his dad In a tragic drowning accident two years ago. The only thing that the boy has from his dad is an older compound bow that needs a bit of work. I am taking care of the string and the sight but he still needs basic items, like a release, arrows, quiver, etc.
I'm not looking or asking for new stuff, just the stuff you have lying around you don't use anymore. Anything would be appreciated.
So far we have the following (forgive me if I missed someone or something):
Roost1 - Arrows
Mag - arrows
dh1984 - broad heads
in the dog house! - climber stand
scn - arrows
Unicam - is digging in his closet
Bowdacious - short - n - sweet release
Smyrnagc - harness
J.W.308 - quiver
Anything that you guys can think of that has not been listed or that you have lying around and not being used would be appreciated. I cannot begin to thank all of you enough.

I don't really have anything extra that isn't already listed, but I have a Tru-Fire release I'd give if it's needed. PM me... otherwise I'll post it up in the PIY forum anyway.

Bowriter you posted this on a different thread "I have gotten rid of just about all of mine but since when was a release considered basic equipment? Has he no fingers?"
He does! Eight of them in fact and two thumbs to boot!
Blame that part on me. I've not seen a compound that wasn't set up for a release in quite a while and it didn't occur to me to set this one up that way.

Just found out he is in a men's medium shirt / coat, pants are 32 and he wears a 10 or 10 1/2 shoe.
On the arrow lengths, I will have him and his bow at my house tomorrow evening and will measure his draw length and arrow size at that time.

Bowriter - Glad you understood the good humored sarcasm! He's 5'-8" or so and in a men's medium shirt. Probably wears a 32 x32 jeans.

PM me a shipping address and I will get some stuff mailed your direction. I even found a new in the wrapper full sized camo backpack left over from a past enterprise I was involved in. I found several medium shirts and pants, even a set of Camo bibs. (Not mine, my sons old stuff)

Can you give a list of itims your looking for?
Below is an updated list:
• Roost1 - Arrows & Stabilizer
• Mag - arrows, field points, camo
• dh1984 - broad heads
• in the dog house! - climber stand
• scn – arrows
• Unicam - is digging in his closet
• Bowdacious - short - n - sweet release
• Smyrnagc – harness
• J.W.308 – quiver
• Kirk - Camo
• Bowriter - Camo
It looks as if I will have more than I bargained for! I know I missed a few things that folks mentioned and probably things I wouldn't think about getting. I'm not sure what else we need but whatever you choose to donate will be put to good use I assure you.
If there is more than this young man can use I do have other guys and gals that I get to be "Papa Bear" to that have the desire to go hunting but do not always have the gear. They call me that because they say I growl and sound like a bear...go figure. Extra gear/camo for such a purpose would be awesome to have.
I really like the idea of paying it forward to a younger generation by giving them the skills and knowledge to become self sufficient. In my mind if these kids are with me at the lake, river, creek, or woods it's one less opportunity to do something stupid and the chance to be constructive.

best way there is to shoot a bow. Hardly ever forget them in camp or lose them while in the stand.
