ANNUAL TG BOW SWAP (sign up thread) 2011 CLOSED

[K30bowfisher]

I'd like to give it a go.

I shoot RH, 50 to 60 lbs @ 29.5", split fingered.

I will be building a mild r/d laminated longbow. I'd prefer a wood bow, since I only have glass ones, but will be happy with whatever I get.

Thanks,
Lane

I'm in again this year.

I typically shoot 55-60# @ 28 inches and am right-handed.

I'll be building either an osage selfbow or a bamboo backed osage bow and it doesn't matter what type of a bow I get.

Cheers,

Steve

Hova,
Don't do that man, you'll jinx me and whoever ends up with my bow. Thanks for the confidence boost though. I'm stoked, this is going to be fun.

i was just messin with ya , cause ya said you'd be happy with whatever...


love seeing ppl signing up for this.


and just so everyone knows , part of the fine print , is that you either post lots of pictures of your build for the swap , or else kellyg will send some 106mm thunder your way....

Ok I'm in.  I will be building a wood bow and I'm not concerned about what I get in return. Wood or glass. However I want the return bow to be for my wife. She is right handed and is 24" draw and 35-45 lb range. Also she like "curvy" bows.  This should be fun.

[NTD]

ooh ooh ooh, I want Keenan to be my secret bow builder, It's gonna be a lucky dog who gets one of his bows:)

[red hill]

NTD, can we choose who gets our name? LOL!
I'd have someone in mind, too!
Sounds to me as if no one can wait for this to get goin'!

I already have my riser glued up and and index pins and bushings installed.  Now I'm just waiting on who I get so I can go with my stack or trim the fat a little.   I wish the start date would get here.

watched this last year and looked like alot of fun, I'll get in!
I'll be building a glass recurve 54 or 56in.
I shoot RH 42-48lbs @ 28 type don't matter but a selfbow would be cool!

[KellyG]

We are 1 shy of 60! Keep those mailing addresses comeing. I cant wait for the start date I want to see some bows.

Kelly,

Is it too late to request to be put on the list for a glass bow?  My arsenal of wood bows is taking over!

[WestTexan]

I'm in!
I'll be building a wood bow. I shoot 55-60 @ 27 Right Hand. Thanks a bunch Stiks....this sounds like fun. Bout done with the new shop so I'll break it in right.

[Pat B]

Glad you are in Keenan. Too bad my Christmas Exchange bow for Lulyn didn't work out...may still!
 Guys, Keenan's wife was the reciepient for my Primitive Archer Christmas Exchange. The bow I was making before Christmas with the crook in the limb was going to Lulyn...until it developed a fret. Had to substitute a basket quiver for the bow but I think she approved! d;^)

[KellyG]

AKmud update your Info.
WestTexan makes 60 bowyers.
Keep sending me your address so I can pass it along.If you dont get me an address I will use mine    and learn to shoot RH.

Stiks glad you are back. How as the hunting?

[Stiks-n-Strings]

The hunting wasn't bad, More of a scouting trip and just get away and camp than anything. Got to try my new canvas tent in 40-50 degrees with rain all night one night and the next night it was 18 degrees so I got to test out the wood stove in it.

Worked great and I broke it in good I reckon.

looks like we are gonna have a great turn out for the swap.

Pat B, I'm like you. Glad to see Keenan here Maybe I'll get real lucky this year and draw you or Keenan. Kelly's doing the drawing so it'll help me with the temptation to set myself up real good LOL    He's helping keep me honest for sure. It was hard enough last year but I was pleased with my draw and stayed honest. Ended up giving my bow I got last trade to a good friend and now he's a trad junky    No more wheels for him he said.

I will be keeping the bow I get in this one for sure. I got a few bare spots on my bow rack now. LOL

Gosh, thanks for the warm welcome, really looking forward to it.  
Pat, Lulyn is still awestruck over that quiver, simply incredible! Thanks again.
