If you are in my have not shipped list you need to let me know what is up and when you plan on being done.

Sorry there's no pictures yet.  My 14 year old daughter took full draw pictures, and I used her phone with a decent camera to take the rest of the pictures.  But then she got into it with mom, and I'm not stepping into that mess just to get a few pictures downloaded....  Just have to wait until the coast is clear.

If you go back a few pages, you can see the bocote beauty that David (dlnwohio) was getting ready to send.  Need to tune arrows to it slightly, but was making tight group after tight group last night.  At one point I had 5 arrows all touching in the target, feeling lucky I didn't have to replace nocks.

Thanks David!

My bow is shipped,sinew backed osage with rattlesnake skin.
It came in a little light at 40# but I hope it is acceptable, I don't
Have time to make any thing else. Sorry for taking so long, I
Should have shipped three weeks ago, just been working late
And on weekends. Kelly, I will send you the tracking number.
Should be delivered Friday.

Put a couple hours in the BBI trade bow today, got both limbs bending pretty well. Will be tillering it this week and shooting to have it delivered by 8/30 or sooner if all goes well.

Ok, mom and daughter made up, and I've downloaded the pictures.  Beautiful bow from dlnwohio:

WE are over 75% complete.

Does any one know timbermoose/ Craig Milton? He seems to have dropped of this site all together. He has not shipped but has received. If someone knows him have him get in contact with me.

Thanks

Dave you lucky dog! is that Bocote and Wenge?

Love both of them. BTW thats quite the shooting outfit you got there! Where's your tie?

Tie got caught in the bowstring and ripped off early in the round.

Hey, sometimes there are things more important than changing clothes.

Canopy that is a sweet looking bow for sure.

Great job Dave, that is a beautiful looking bow I have enjoyed following along thru out the bow swap.All the bows have been awesome.I have a lot to learn.

Kelly, if you find you end up short a bow to send out I'm sure I would be honored to donate Knotmare, my cable-backed bow for someone.  I'll try and get a finish on her in the next few days and put her up on standby.  I have a bow being made by a member here, and plenty of PVC to play with in the meantime.  It would be my honor to step in and make sure someone gets a bow.  Don't need one in return, just can't stand to see someone left out.

The long white tube was waiting for me today. A nice BBO with antler tips inside. Sweet. I will get a chance to shoot it this weekend.
Rainman did a nice job, and both of these materials , Bamboo and Osage are a treat up here. Thanks rain. It is nice. I can't wait to shoot it.
Pete

Glad you like it Pete, the string is Dacron on it but if you want feel free to put fastflight on.

It will have a 10 strand DF97 with 16 in the loops pronto. I will let you know the difference in the 2 strings, for feel , noise and performance. I put 97 on all my bows. Your tips certainly will handle it.     I don't have any problems with this on plain Osage, Hickory, Hop Hornbeam or maple, so I know those antler tips will be just fine. I realy like bamboo Backed Osage.    It is a treat for me.

I think you will see a noticeable difference in how it feels after the shot.  I just didn't have any High performance strands to make one up.  I put hp strings on all of my bows also.

Thanks halfseminole

I hope it does not come down to that just yet. Heck I was just PMed about one I missed or did not save.
So we moved up to just under 80% complete.

Who got Monterey's black glass beauty? I am completely bummed it wasn't me...that thing looked awesome...would have looked even better hanging on wall..

Here is who I am tracking has NOT RECEIVED A BOW. Only 15 left. Please if you have received let me know. So I can send the nasty grams to the need folks.

Well the best laid plans... My trade bow has developed a terrible hinge in the lower limb, so I glued up my fourth bow for thi trade. I now have this bow on the tiller tree and should make good progress tomorrow.

Kelly, I'm tryin' ,bro!  If I don't get it right in the next couple of days I'll throw in the towel...

Truly sorry this has taken so long.

Oh! This bow is a boo backed Osage. It's looking good so far. But don't they all at first?  

Red I am sure the fourth is charmed.
