ANNUAL TG BOW SWAP (sign up thread) 2011 CLOSED

twitchstick · January 05, 2011, 10:22:00 AM

Sorry my draw is 28"

tenbrook · January 05, 2011, 10:26:00 AM

I'm in also please.

I would prefer a Selfbow. Something with some curvy character would be very cool!! I draw 29.5" and would like a bow I could hunt with maybe around #50 @ 29.5". Shoot left handed.

I will be making a wood bow (Osage self bow or BBI)

Thanks

Tenbrook

I guess I have hemmed and hawed long enough. I would like to get in on the fun and festivities. I will be building a BBI (love building those things.)
And since the last one I built for AKmud was so well recieved I cannot resist the opportunity to build another.

I draw 29 inches on a good day (when not suffering from target panic) and like to keep em in the 45 to 55 pound range.

(Edited to clear up some confusion)

LMAO....is it possible I can be any more dense today. Lack of sleep is KILLING me right now (thanks to a new puppy) I am right handed lol...Thanks for helping me state what should have been obvious Kelly.

Balding Kansan · January 05, 2011, 01:58:00 PM

Stiks/Kelly....when is the cutoff date for sign-ups?

Monkey Wrench · January 05, 2011, 01:58:00 PM

I'm in, it was a lot of fun watching the thread from last year, and I think I have enough experience to actually build a decent bow now. I will be making a laminated wood bow, boo on ipe or hickory.

I've got a few good shootin' wood bows now, I would like to get a glass one if possible. Looking for a hunting bow, as my son is really beating on me to get him to the woods. I'm a 30" draw length, right handed, and about 50 lbs is good.

Still shooting great by the way! I'm going to shoot our indoor FITA tourney this weekend with it (sure to be a humbling experience I'm sure...)

Thats good to hear. I am thinking something similar for the next one. I never did see those pictures of the bow with your grouse you collected this year. But I am still glad its getting used for what it was intended.

KellyG · January 05, 2011, 09:38:00 PM

Every one Please go back and review the rules, Stiks put in some info for you.
I have be getting PMs on when will I draw name. I will after the 13th and the sign up is closed. I will verify my date send it to stiks to give it a once over. Once I get it back the drawing will begain. I will post here lett you know when it is done but PM you how you are building for and their info. I ask that you look here just to verify I did not screw up and put them down for the wrong hand # or length.
Keep the Addresses coming my way, and any other info you think I need.
Happy building and God Bless
Kelly

KellyG · January 06, 2011, 10:30:00 PM

hova · January 06, 2011, 10:43:00 PM

Stiks-n-Strings · January 06, 2011, 10:58:00 PM

Hova,

Me PatB or Kelly will start a swap bow thread and that way it can all be kept in one thread. Easier to keep track of that way.

But there will be alot of post LOL

hova · January 06, 2011, 11:52:00 PM

hadnt thought of that...good ideas as always gentlemen...

KellyG · January 07, 2011, 12:32:00 AM

Heck in a few days my part will be mostly done and I get to just sit back and watch all them pretty bows get made. At least until show and tell time and I have to start checking of who got their bows but until then. Feet up and hot coco in hand. OOOOh forgot I have a stave I need to get to so I can get some practice in before next year.
