I did a swap on another site 10+ years ago and had a good experience, I'd like to try it again.


I'll make a 1 piece glass longbow and I'd like a glass bow in return in the 40-50# range at 28", RH.

It's been awhile since I last logged in, but good to see someone picked this up and is running with it!

This will be the first one I will have missed since the swap started, but this year there are just some other things going on. Will be watching though.

I guess I'll play, should be able to find time to throw something together. I hate to see it die because of lack of participation especially when guys are good enough to step up and put it on. I'll build a glass bow of some sort. I'm good with anything but a selfbow between 45-55 pounds @ 31"s and right handed.

Glad to see you back Dave.  Who knows, maybe if you get some time later down the road we can get you in.  Hope all is well 

Bird, are you a right handed or left handed shooter?

    Grrrreat...  :(     Go ahead...  Make me feel like poop...    I'm in...    I'll post my my stuff down the line...

Nice!  Starting to look like a proper swap around here!

Glad I could help talk you off the fence Shredd!

  Where did you get your tactics, Lifetime Women's movie channel??  That's right up there with, "hand over the money or the puppy gets it"...   

 

   I will be building a one pc. fiberglass r/d bow under 50 lb...  I like to build a bow that I can test shoot...

  I would like a 64", 41 and a half lb. carbon backed / glass belly, r/d  / horse bow hybrid, 19" ebony riser with holly and paduak accents (you pick the design I'm not too particular) with bison horn and sunset red glass overlays and 8 degrees coming off the fades, 5" power lams and 6" tip wedgy's, walrus tusk and again sunset red glass tip overlays with a .040" ebony between them,  boo / walnut / hickory core, I'm right handed but sometimes shoot lefty (depends on the moon phase), got a 26" short draw, 29 1/4" medium draw and a 36" crazy mongolian draw...  I hope I am not pushing it but if I  could get a double stepped shelf to shoot two arrows at once that would be dandy... a medium grip wrapped with white albino beaver tail would be great...  Thanks...


  For real...  I would like a fiberglass r/d bow, right handed, 29" draw, 38 to 42#, and I shoot three under...  If the pickens get tight I'll take a recurve...

  **  I can also build a barn burner 3pc. recurve if needed but it's not a tried and fully tested design yet...

Rich, LMAO:)

Is the barn burner gonna have 19,000 psi glass bubbles?

  They don't make sunset red glass any mo

We were a perfect match except for the tip overlays.   I go 100% ebony. 

Is there going to be a build follow along thread or is this it?

I'm ready to start trash talking....... er, ah, I mean talking about my trash build.  It's going to be mostly made up of scrap leftover from my bathroom remodel except I will need to order some formica.   [Auto correct tried to change that to fornication      ]

Copy that!  Had to make a new tracking spreadsheet for all these details but I think getting your custom Hill-style PVC pipe bow to you is well worth it.   

I found a wormy rotten  2x4 behind the barn , and some netwrap off a haybale to twist a stretchy string out of.   All I need is a victim's name now... 

This oughta make a 20 lber , Roy , ya in or not? 

I'm sitting on top of the fence.

Just cut down a magnolia tulipwood tree wif huge knots.

Would join ifin I got yer name...

Flemmy-Boy, what's you gonna do?

Ya in or not?

Straddlin the fence makes ya sore I hear.     Gotta jump in or out bro! 

I'm in. I wasn't sure that I would have time, but hell with it, I'll make time.
I'll build a bamboo/ wood tri lam unless I can get some balsa to make a super lightweight bow that draws 5 or 6 pounds at 31 inches.
In return I'll be happy with a right hand bow that draws 40 to 50 pounds at 28 inches.
If Roy is in, I want one of his Mongolian tulip wood bows.
Dave.

I may regret this later when the deadline looms and my wife has me sleeping on the couch, but I'm in if Roy's in.
