Bummer Mike! Hopefully it is fixable and you figure out who the bow is from.

Who did send that bow really? I am tracking his bow has not been shipped and I confirmed that with the bowyer.

Now if I goofed I need to know I can shift the bowyers around a bit. heck so mike gets a bow just have the one I am tracking send out his bow and the guy who built that one can shift to the right person since we have a shipping error. if that works. I need some PMS though please.

Mike PM me the return address and I my beable ot figure it out from that.

Oh and I have a bow tillerd out to 35lbs@20" so I think I am heading in the right direction. I dont think it will be my swap bow. It is going to need some heat. I have a hickory bow I need to tiller and finish. I plan on heating that osge bow up this weekend and getting the string to track righ then let it rest while I work on the hickory. But who knows I want to toast the belly of the hickory and since GA is humid as all get out and heck hickory like being dry I might do that any way. would not take long here for it to be shotable after heat.

Wasn't me Kelly. I am working on mine trying to beat the deadline.

My fellow bowyers, with a heavy heart i must bow out. a few weeks back i was forced off the road on a goldwing by some "fast and furious" wannabe. messed my right shoulder up pretty good, got home a bit ago from my doc who gave me the long face, he's a bowhunter as well, i go in on monday for an MRI to see just how bad my rotator cuff has been messed up, still have bruising over my entire shoulder and pain that just won't end. surgery was discussed.  :(

but with all hope i will be back to shooting and riding next summer. maybe not at the same time, but i have strapped the bow to the bike and headed to the range, get some funny looks at times.  ;)

been some real fine bows made this year.

I'm sorry to hear that Craig. I hope you heal up fast and get back to the things you like doing again.
Dave, I'm glad you like the bow. It shot really well with my Bloodsport 500's and 125gn up front.

Well the long tube did have a bow in it from down under!! Thanks Big Bob it's awesome!! It shoots really nice and is my first longbow of this style. Love the woods and he put in some scraps... I'll have to come up with a project for them.

Mikkekeswick, got your TradBow in good shape and will be flinging some arrows with it.  Nice character bow; what kind of stave is it?>>>---------->

mikkekeswick

Hi Sacred Mtn - Glad you got it ok. It's osage! It's been through my aging process to make it look 5 years old!

KellyG

ok 12 bows received 6 in the mail. 35% comeplete.
and mike has a mystery on his hands. He shot me the return address and I have no clue as who that person is. not in my data anyway.

And I know his bowyer was holding off until he shipped before finishing up his so mikes really swap bow will be mailed out in a week or so.

KellyG

Ok as for what I have gotten done
