[Roy from Pa]

Ya it's prolly all that Sissy Pants Raspberry beer ya been drinken son:)

[soopernate]

ALSO probably true..Maybe I will try pumpkin spice now.

[DVSHUNTER]

Glad you like it Mike. It is 59@28 on my scale and the finish is shellac.  

[Mike Mecredy]

Sounds about right.  I usually just round up.  I've never had one that short, is it cool then to draw it 28"? (I actually draw a little less)

What Raspbeery Shock top?  I usually make my own "stuff", so I'm not to hip on the comercially available drink.

[DVSHUNTER]

It's been drawn to 28 lots of times Mike. Think at 58in its on the short side for you draw, but nothing that osage can't handle. There wasn't much set surprisingly either. Good luck with your arm. If it continues to bother you and the weight becomes an issue, let me know and I can reduce it for you some.  Sorry for not marking the bow, I hate writing on them. In fact the marker will.probably wear off after awhile. Then it will look its best.

Dave, No problem on anything.  I hope I wasn't sounding ungreatful, because I couldn't be happier.  I shoot bows from 36" recurve I make for kids, to 70# 68" longbows, so I have no problem adjusting for legnth, I have learned over the years to draw things until they feel right.  I'm very pleased with it.  In fact it might sound funny but I only have that, and one other bow that are mine.  I can't hunt this year because I'm too busy, but I plan to take a deer with it next year.

I'm last? woo!

[KellyG]

John but not forgotten You can trust in that.

[soopernate]

That was funny..."John but not forgotten"

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Alright enough pokin' and gougin' at Hova.

I sent him a PM and he assured me his bow would ship by monday. He has till Monday to redeem his self.

Honestly there have been a few times that I was real late shipping something and sure did appreciate the grace on the other end. Matter of fact I got a few things I needed to ship some time back. I think I'll go get right on that. (working 6 days a week sure makes it tough) LOL

Sorry,  was playing on the computer trying to learn an edit function and my dog stepped on the keyboard. Pugs...who would have thunk they were so needy.

[Keenan]

Very sweet bow David. Good for you Bro!

[DVSHUNTER]

Thanks keenan. It's not the bow we talked about awhile back, that one didn't make it, but I think i saved the skins.  All this talk about yew has me really eyeballing my stave so i might call you up soon.

[DGF]

I spent a good part of my day going through all 184 pages of this swap. This is an extremely talented group of folks!

[soopernate]

YAY...its Monday.

[John Lipinski]

Wellp. Maybe I'll have a bow, maybe I won't. Can't wait to start on the next year's bow swap. I'll be making a glass one this year around, woo!

[rmorris]

I got a quick question for you all,what were some of your shipping costs for a one piece bow that would fit in a 3-4" x 66" shipping tube/ pvc pipe? also how about a 3 piece bow that fits in a box?
