With 75 bowyers we should ask for a seperate forum just to keep track of all the progress pictures

KellyG · January 10, 2011, 03:19:00 AM

DVSHUNTER · January 10, 2011, 07:57:00 AM

If you made it a sub you could not make people jelous of your new bow. I know more are reading this and watching. Some have never seen one before and don't understand the hype. They will soon enough.

I pretty worked up myself but I will post the last post to close the thread and Kelly and I have to work out a few details on who gets Glass and who gets wood cause some only shoot either or then kelly will getthe draw done and send out info.

I would like to go ahead and draw but I want to give guys that are pondering plenty of time.

Sorry Sticks, I didn't realize it was already the deadline,,,,just trying to encourage any who were sitting on the fence.

Stiks-n-Strings · January 10, 2011, 05:04:00 PM

No apoligy needed Keenan, I'm just as anxious as the rest. I was just letting everybody know that I will close the thread and It will begin.

is it to late. ruddy

Stiks-n-Strings · January 10, 2011, 05:35:00 PM

No way ruddy, Sign up buddy the more the merrier.

Sign ups stop on the 13th. The deadline for shipping a bow is july the 9th so you got time to sign up and plenty of time to build a bow.

DVSHUNTER · January 10, 2011, 06:40:00 PM

this is awesome. I'm definitely looking forward to this again. I've just about got baldingkansan's bow finished, but I was hunting all weekend and work, and... You know what they say about excuses. Sticks, I still haven't even shipped out your tip material yet either. I didn't forget!

Stiks-n-Strings · January 10, 2011, 06:42:00 PM

No hurry on the tip material Dave I think the two pass around bow are gonn be finished just before my trade bow.

broketooth · January 10, 2011, 07:26:00 PM

just got done talkin with stiks-n-strings on the phone. im in. a selfbow for a selfbow. im building an osage bow about 45- 50#@ 28" draw. i would like to reseave something in the same draw weight. it doesnt matter if its hickory , ash, red elm , hackberry,hop hornbeam, mulberry, or vinemaple, or osage. backed or unbacked. i love selfbows. i hope the recipient of the bow i build will be proud. ruddy

Pat B · January 10, 2011, 07:47:00 PM
