TG BOW SWAP 2012 (pics and post)

[WestTexan]

Hope to get mine bending more today but after a bone head move that knocked one of my limbs off the work bench last night I came in the house. But it cleaned up nice the divot wasn't as deep as it looked.

Nice bows guys.

I'm on the probation list Shaun and waiting to ship my bow so I hope it shows up here    

My recipient is on the list as well but I have no doubt they will come through as they have been in every swap and shipped in a reasonable time after the deadline. I may go ahead and ship it cause I'm itching to see the mail lady bring me a long tube        

Sure have been some great bows built this year and more to come.

Hmmm...I wonder....! I'd better get busy!

 :p

Well, she's tillered, but she took more set than I wanted. I'm not happy with this bow. I'm thinking I will go ahead and finish it out and send it, but make another, hopefully, more worthy.

Mike, I haven't tried it myself, but if I were working that stave, I think I'd run a taut string along the back side of the bow, tip to tip. Measure from the string an equal distance to each end of the handle. Draw a line between marks and rasp off what's beyond the line. Then your handle will line up with the bow and it should be balanced. If your handle is too thin you can glue on another piece of wood. Then again, maybe ideas like this are why I don't always succeed when I'm working a difficult stave.

I have mine finished tillered am just finishing dressing it up just got the last supplies in the mail Monday should ship before the week is out.

The stave is looking good Mike. Looks like there are a few challenges but one to learn on and hopefully get a nice shooter out of it.

[KellyG]

Looks good all.

A couple of notes : IF YOU ARE AWAITING TO SHIP AND WAS ON THE HOLD LIST POST PICS OF YOUR COMPLETED BOW AND I WILL RELEASE YOUR BOW IF IT IS DONE.

This is who I am tracking that still needs to ship. This list does not include those on Stick's list.

If I missed you as still awaiting don't panic just shoot me a PM. It means I have to may names to track and just over looked you by mistake.

I did not post this list to out anyone I am on the need to ship list as well. If there are any question just drop me a PM.

Kelly I think you got pics of my finished bow. I thought I emailed you my list. Let me know if I didn't and we'll get together soon and get everytyhing lined out.

[WestTexan]

Got it braced to 1 inch and the string looks to be dead center... pulled 40# at 10 inches.

[SportHunter]

That thing is lined up straight as an arrow Tex, great job!

[AZ_Shooter]

Finally got the finish on tonight.  Boy, in AZ during the summer it can be difficult to find time when it isn't too hot to spray Deft.  I think it came out well, but I am a complete newbie.  All that is left is to get the leather grip and strike plate on, and ship.  Hopefully by the first part of next week it will be on its way.

[canopyboy]

There is going to be a lot of activity in the next week!

I've gotta get mine shipped before I go on vacation, which spans the deadline.  That leaves me 2 weekends to stay off of next year's probation list....  (and my wife thinks one of those weekends needs to be spent not in the shop.)

[rmorris]

Kelly, I did not see Hova's name on the has not shipped list...    . All joking aside I have seen some awesome bows this year and and can't wait to see the few weeks worth of bows

[canopyboy]

 

Some horses just are never dead enough...    

[Dave Bowers]

Great looking bows fellas...its gonna be done to the wire for me. Had to cheat a little this year because of work, but I think its gonna make a nice bow for someone.

Kelly I think you got pics of my finished bow. I thought I emailed you my list. Let me know if I didn't and we'll get together soon and get everytyhing lined out.

Kelly I shipped my trade bow off today. They said it should arrive monday. PM sent with the tracking number.

[jess stuart]

UPS tracking indicates my trade bow arrived Monday at 6:15 p.m., (left on the porch) hopefully the new owner has it and hasn't had a chance to update.  Always worry about UPS  they leave the package anywhere to get it off the truck, drives my crazy.

[KellyG]

I put about 30 more arrows in it tonight. It is shooting good. It has a little hand shock but not bad. Once I get the handle finished and arrows tuned it is going to be an accurate bow. I could kill a deer at 15yrds with it for sure.
