ANNUAL TG BOW SWAP (sign up thread) 2011 CLOSED

[1oldbowguy]

 I would like to give it a go.  I am getting back into Traditional archery and have 2 members here who have graciously offered to teach me how to build a bow     .  I will build a wood bow almost for sure maybe R/D longbow.  I sure love this site, with all the good people.    
Looking forward to this.  Just hope I don't mess it up.    

I pull about 27" and about 45#'s to 55#'s

[formerbutcher]

Is it the 13th yet

1oldbowguy, what part of AR do you call home?  I'm in ElDorado and there are several other members from across the state.
Stan

[1oldbowguy]

Stan, I live in Hot Springs.  I have talked with 3 great members so far living in Arkansas.  Great people here one and all.

[1oldbowguy]

 Stan, P.M. sent  

[bowur]

im in
Ill be making some kind of wooden bow, probably a bilam R/D. Will take any bow but would prefer an osage or glass bow since all of mine are hickory. I shoot #45-60 @29" Right handed.

[4est trekker]

...since all of mine are hickory.

Bowur:  Did the osage recurve I made you for last year's trade not work out for you?

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Man this is getting good!

[hova]

i cant take it any longer...im going to 'splode...

[Stiks-n-Strings]

As long as the bow your building don't 'splode hova  

[hova]

wouldnt be the first time...


still wondering if im going to be able to heat-straighten the 360" twist out of it...


if not someone is getting a selfbow/emergency propeller...

[REBbowhunter]

I would like to sign up.Will build an Osage self bow or BBO.
I shoot right hand,28 in.,40-45 lb.If possible would like a glass
longbow as I don't have one but will be happy with anything.

[Aram]

I'll play. Does that make it 73?
Boo backed ipe.
I shoot RH #50 ± 5 @ 28" wood, glass or anything else that casts an arrow will be cherished.
Great idea. Missed it last year.
Aram

[jsweka]

OK, I've gone back and forth on getting into this swap long enough.

I'm in! Just looks like too much fun to miss.

I'll be building a Hill style glass laminated longbow.

I'd prefer a RH 50 - 60# @ 28" glass laminated bow (recurve or longbow), but I've also always had a hankerin' for an osage selfbow.

Stiks & KellyG - Thanks for organizing this.  I'll send you a PM with my address.

Looking forward to getting started.

4 more days to get in and if we can get 5 more guys on that means this years swap has doubled from last year.

AWSOME! I took a vacation this week and I'm firing up the saw to go cut some yeller wood and work on a few stave that are dry already.
