kenny, have you at least heard from everyone and know that they're working on their bows yet? or are there a few unaccounted for?

I finally got my basement bow range setup and put a few more arrows through the bow KennyM made me. Without a doubt I'll be using it this fall/winter!!! Thanks again Kenny.

You are most welcome, does it shoot OK for ya?

Hope the weight was good too,send pics of that 1st critter with it to put on my site in  trad trophies!

Shoots very nice. So much more smooth than my 58" of similar design. I'll get you some pictures this fall. A "trophy" I can't promise, but it'll be a critter for sure.

oh John most of the bows I know are being worked on. Most contact me only a few that have not. Heck I have had two complete and ship bows and I don't know it until someone posts received. It is coming together nicely.

I just got done looking at the post of pics by Swissbow.  I am shocked at the quantity of quality bows in this swap.  It would be so amazingly cool to get as many of us together to do a shoot with these.  Southern Indiana is about in the middle of most of us.  I'm having a hunt in October.  Bring your bows  

Great job everyone.  Really, really awesome work!

Great bows everyone    

Sam, did you put tracking and insurance on it? Send the guy a PM and ask him if he got a package in the mail, couldn't hurt.
Or ask Kelly or Stiks to send him an email. I wouldn't just let it go without knowing.

[Dan Landis]

John, I agree, just finished going through all the photos and must say I'd be proud to give any of them a home.  Really nice stuff going on here at the trade!!!!  

Andy, thanks for taking the time to put all this together.....Dan

SaMbO2,
It can take a little bit to get there just ask akmud. I know the bowyer you sent has contacted me and told me he had a recent death in the family so that might also put a delay on them getting on here. I don't know if they recieved it yet. I had sent them a PM for somthing else and when they respond to that one I will ask if he got it, if he does not post an update.

I agree with all those great bows I dont think one is a subpar bow.
Kelly

Alright thanks KellyG.

Im in too. Sounds like a good time in the making. Hope you realize you might get more people to crash your hunt than you might have thought

I forgot to mention about the great job Tyler did on packaging. I went back and read his post about what he used in the riser wrap,an old boot tounge or insole. Well I take the bow out of the tube and there is an "OLD SOCK" with holes(the socks smelled Downey fresh)    wrapped on each end of bow. I know why know I received this bow in only 1 day Priority Mail. NO DAMAGE
       Thanks Again Tyler for "GREAT BOW"

Heres the bow I received from Brian O.



Two separate groups from 10 yrds



Thanks for a great bow    she's a real shooter and I think she's gonna go deer hunting with me this year.

[KellyG]

All I can say is I can't wait until NEXT YEAR!

[KellyG]

60 bows received now 23 waiting on theirs and 5 in the mail. 72% complete at this point.

[SEMO_HUNTER]

Boy there's some really sweet lookin bows crawling out of the wood work now......literally! Great job to all the guys coming through in the clutch, never give up.  

[Swissbow]

Ok guys, I hope I haven't forgotten/overlooked to many pics on my way through the whole 2157 posts of this thread. If you have pics of your trade bow that you think would be nice to show, feel free to post in the picture-thread, or let me know so I can add them.

I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the quality of the bows of this swap. I'm on a few other archery forums, but I have never seen such a huge amount of high quality bows in one place. Thumbs up to all that participated in the swap !!!
