The Final Rest Helped Me Hunt While Dealing With Parkinson's

Helping people continue to do what they love is a huge goal of ours here at Final Rest. We got the below letter from Dale whom we met at the Great American Outdoor show this year. We love hearing stories like this!

 

Dear Fourth Arrow,

My name is Dale Giraudin. I started using your products last year and it has been an absolute game changer for me.
A little over 5 years ago I got diagnosed with Parkinson’s. However, I am determined to not let this get in the way of how I want to live my life. A very large part of my life Is hunting big game all across America. I love everything about it. I love getting to see our beautiful country and admiring God’s handy work. I love getting to meet new people through the sport I love. I love the hunt and the harvesting of the animals. But most of all, I love the opportunity to spend time with my family in the woods and share memories that will last a lifetime with them. Upon my diagnosis I knew my days of being in the woods were going to come to and end much sooner than I wanted them to. But I decided that I am going to do everything I can possibly do to prolong the amount of good quality time I have left hunting. The following 4 years after my diagnosis had its ups and downs in the woods. I had to switch from a compound bow to a crossbow. I could still pull the bow back and shoot pretty effectively but occasionally the symptoms would get the best of me and I would not shoot with the precision needed to feel ethical hunting with a compound bow. As a result I switched to the cross bow. I had an incident in Ohio where I was staring at 145+ inch buck, and I couldn’t grab my bow get steady and pull the shot off. I started looking for different bow holders that would make my life a little easier and level the playing field some. That is when I came across your Final Rest System.


I purchased the Final Rest and used it 2 weeks later to help me kill a beautiful 145” Missouri buck with my rifle, and a couple months later I used it on a Barbary Sheep hunt in New Mexico to help me shoot a beautiful Sheep at over 200 yards. There is no question that using your products helped me tremendously in accomplishing this.


Not only that, but when I meet you and told part of my story to you at the Great American Outdoor show I was absolutely blown away by your response in giving me multiple setups I can set them up in my stands before the season starts to make my set up time much easier and make my hunt more efficient.

Thank you for your support and for inventing a product that can help me continue to do the things I love to do.

Dale Giraudin.
