OHMAHGOD!!
I thought you was kidding.  Around here we buy it cuz its like three bucks a six pack and makes a hell of an explosion when you shake em up on a hot summer day and sink a field tip through it.  I didnt know people actually CONSUMED it.

[KellyG]

How many times do you have to shoot it before you bows will penetrate aluminium cans? Haha

[soopernate]

Just once....even my daughters 30 pounder shoots clean through a PBR can and creates a foamy beery mess. Must have cheap alluminum to go with the beer.  No wonder I find them littering the ground around my favorite fishing holes.  I think the guys drinking it are too embarrassed to bring them to the recycling center.

As bad as I hate to, I will not be entering this years swap. I already have 3 bows promised and I am afraid I won't have time for a 4th bow for the swap.

Thanks for thinking of me and I do plan to be a follower of this swap thread. I am  sure I will regret my decision but I do not want to over commit myself and not meet the deadline again this year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!

Mater, welcome back to the swap. I enjoyed making your bow 2 years ago, but hope you get one this year that will work for you shooting style.

[Roy from Pa]

So Kate, yer sayen ya shoot 30 pound bows now?

[soopernate]

We were last summer when we were camping  

Come spend some time with brother in law in the gym, hes a personal trainer, and he can even help YOU work up to a 30 pound bow Roy.

[BrianO]

WooHoo!
Count me in.
Ive have really enjoyed the last two.
I will be making an osage self bow but reserve the right to build a bamboo backed osage.
I shoot RH and would be glad to receive any bow from 50 to 60# @ 28.

Thanks for all you guys do to put this together.

[H8nonCubs]

Me too,mer too.
same boat as BrianO building osage selfbow or bbo maybe ibo who knows i just want in.
Draw 27 55+/- no prefernce on materials just hopin for a back-up(maybe a t/d) for an elk hunt next year!(at brocks place hopefully)

[Bruce Martin]

I am new to the swap but want to participate. I think it is an opportunity to really build the best bow you can when it goes to someone else. I will build a bamboo backed Osage either straight limbed or slight r/d. I am right handed , shoot 28 inch draw and anything around 50-55 lb is good. Anything is good but would love a self bow as I have not taken that plunge yet as a bowyerand would like to see a good example for inspiration/ instruction. Will pm Kelly with my particulars.

[adeeden]

I'm in, I watched this thread all year last year! I'm still pretty green on the bow building but have learned alot in the last year and a half or so! I will be building either an osage or hackberry self bow.

I'm a lefty and draw 27" anything between 40-55 pounds works for me!

[soopernate]

I am hoping I get Roy so that I can build him one of our "Montana Special" 40 pounders....the magic is in the arrow (too bad I am such a crappy hunter)

[Swissbow]

I'm in too. I can't let you guys let have all the fun here. I'll build a glass bow and I'm going to be happy with whatever I get.

I'm a right hand shooter and I draw 60-65@27.
