Default Newest ABA Raffle, Legendary Jack Kempf bow

Enough teasers let’s get this thing rolling!

We are very excited to announce our newest raffle!! Because we had to cancel our 2020 Banquet due to the COVID outbreak, we are now going to raffle the bow that renowned Alberta bowyer Jack Kempf built for this year’s banquet. Jack has been a huge supporter of the ABA as far back as any of us can remember. He builds and donates a traditional bow to the ABA every year at our annual banquet to raise funds for the ABA. We are so very grateful and appreciative for what Jack has done for the ABA for so many years!!

Direct link to tickets:

https://alberta-bowhunters-associati...jacks-bow-2020

The bow we have on this raffle is one of Jack’s famous “Kwyk Styk” recurves. The riser is made from Australian Walnut and is the first time Jack has used this wood in building bows. It is a beauty!! The bow is 56” long, 45# at 28” draw, a RIGHT handed bow.

We have completed the package (courtesy of Big Timber Archery in Grande Prairie) with all the accessories (Selway slide on bow quiver, arm guard, tab, shooting glove, bow stringer, string keeper, 6 arrows) you need to start flinging arrows as soon as you win!!

There are only 500 tickets for this raffle and it truly is a fantastic package. Everyone wants a “Jack Kempf” bow and this is your chance to get one – or add to your Jack Kempf Collection.
Check out the “Raffle Rules” for all the details.
Good luck!!!!

Ticket number 170 was drawn this past weekend at Big Timber.

I never win anything.... BUT I won this one . Still can’t believe it.

Seeing as I am left handed I went and saw Jack today and he happened to have a left hand Kwyk Styk brand new at his place. I had a buddy who really wanted this draw bow so with some horse trading, we both got what we wanted!

Thanks to everyone who participated in this raffle!

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing you holding up a big elk with that kwik stick propped up next to you. Have fun shooting it and share your progress.
