I'm making a trip to the midwest in a few weeks and have decided that I probably should bring a back up bow with me. No problem, I'll just borrow one.... Except that I am left handed and don't have any left handed friends that bow hunt.

Can any of you guys in the BR/Laffy/New Orleans area help me out? I'm willing to buy cheap or even "rent" if thats a possibility. Its just going to be my backup bow so I likely wont need it, but I don't want to get up there and have issues.

you likely wont be able to just pick up a bow that isn't yours and shoot it well


a bow is (or should be) tuned to the owner, you may group fine but you're likely to be off target

I would definitely be shooting it multiple times before taking it into the woods.

Im basically looking for someone that has a spare bow that I can use for about a month.

Never seen that section... link?

Look I know this sounds crazy, but figured it was worth a shot. Maybe someone has an old bow taking up room in a closet that I can buy for $50 - $100, who knows.

Actually bow making is one of my many talents, I only make wooden long bows but If we got into contact I believe I could satisfy you.

Wow, lots of old bows out there and I never had to find the "borrow it for 30 days" page on Craigslist.

An old friend of mine saw my post and is hooking me up with a bow, thanks though
