TG BOW SWAP 2012 (pics and post)

[WestTexan]

Really nice bows for sure....I haven't seen a bow yet I didn't like. Kevin that's a slick camo job. I finished up a HBH this past week for a summer intern engineer and my son wants one now and that camo would be a nice touch for his... I guess I need to hunt some up now.

This is what happens when a guy waits this long!!!!

 

Sweet bows guys  

[rmorris]

Lot of bows arriving... Make sure you get to pictures of your bow to me or post them yourself... I will track you down when this is all done if dont ....

Man K-hat I bet **** better not lean it against a tree to pee or they will not be able to find it.

Thanks guys, it means a lot coming from the bench.  I picked up the camo from wally world fabric dept.  Don't know if i'll do it again though, hard to keep those edges from fraying (as it's cotton).  I finally loaded the edges up with superglue before applying the finish.  If y'all know any other tricks, lemme know!

Per coasters' post "Happy or deranged?"  I say yes   :D

[canopyboy]

Definitely Deranged.  But that's ok, I think most of our wives would say the same about us.

[canopyboy]

Last night I put about 200 arrows through the swap bow getting her shot in (first hundred) and then fine tuning the timing of the limbs (second hundred) until it only has the slightest thump.  (It is a Hill style, not sure someone of my caliber can get it to where there is no thump at all...)  This also resulted in the draw weight falling to a lb over the mid point of the range specified.  All is well.

I think I'm going to make a fresh string and apply another coat of finish tonight.  Might ship on Tuesday instead of tomorrow so that the finish can fully cure before going in the tube.

I have to say it shoots crazy accurate for me.  The first hundred were at 17-18 yds and I split two different nocks and ruined the arrows they were sitting in.  If my recipient doesn't like it, I'll happily pay to have it shipped back!

 

[KellyG]

I hope I can shoot that good some day.

[canopyboy]

Kelly, I normally can't.  Which is why I figured it was an omen worth sharing.  I just hope I haven't used up all the mojo before ********* gets it next week.

[Goose Gossett]

My wife told me to smile like it was my first Christmas.  She hid the tube from me most of the afternoon and then told me to go check something in the closet.  There it was sitting.  So deranged would be an extremely accurate statement!

[Boswell]

Kelly,
I have a 62in tube that is sitting at the door, ready to be mailed tomorrow!
I will let you know tomorrow evening when it has shipped with a tracking number!

Thanks
Boswell

[KellyG]

[Dave Bowers]

Great looking sticks fellas  

[canopyboy]

So, got the nod of approval from a couple of respectable tradgangers yesterday.  Put a final coat of finish, writing, and wax on last night.  It's good to go except the string.  I think I have a new one somewhere.  Might have put it in my sock drawer.  As soon as I find it, I'll be able to ship.

 

[KellyG]

Lets get these bows out.
