Wow trux, everyone says I make short bows! That one is sweet! Can we see a full draw pic?

Trux Turning · August 23, 2013, 10:00:00 AM

Here's a older picture of one...

Dang Trux I really want to build one of those bows now!!! That looks amazing!

goobersan · August 23, 2013, 11:39:00 AM

How much for a blueprint? I'm definitely digging that design. And you told me they shoot pretty well too

Here is another full draw pick of the first one. Trux made this for me and it has got to be one of the best bows I have ever shot. Sorry for the bad pick but it was taken with a timer on my phone.

It will be spending a good bit of time in the tree this year and there is a good chance it will be drawing blood.

P.S. Don't worry the bows and crossgun in the back are my dad and brother's

Very cool bow David! You by any chance going to head up to Abq for the SCBA shoot on Saturday?

Trux Turning · August 23, 2013, 07:45:00 PM

Looks good Mark- hope you stick something with it. Not going to make the shoot Ralph- I've got to get stuff ready for next weekends hunts.

KellyG · August 23, 2013, 09:02:00 PM

Ok I have sent Emails to four bowyers who have not responded to PMs. If any of you know them ask them to get in touch with me with and update of there bows. If I have not gotten any word by next weekend I will have not choice but to ban them. 3 have received bows only one has not.

That sucks Kelly. I'm sorry it's such a pain for you and Stiks

jsweka · August 24, 2013, 07:03:00 PM

Yeah, come on guys. Let's finish up the swap for 2013. It seems the swap is dragging out longer and longer each year.

KellyG · August 24, 2013, 11:23:00 PM

Well I have gotton word from a couple of them so it is coming together.

LittleBen · August 24, 2013, 11:47:00 PM

Well hope everything works out here. The swap hinges on trust.

talkingcabbage · August 25, 2013, 10:00:00 AM

This was my first year and I realize some guys have had issues with bows, which is understandable as I had my own set of problems as well, but it does seem like the end is kinda dragging.
Let's get a strong finish guys and start planning for next year! I know I am!

Swissbow · August 25, 2013, 03:48:00 PM

These guys from the postal service are driving me nuts. First they are telling me that I can not send the bow with the regular service but have to use UPS or a similar service instead and pay 300 bucks. I reworked the bow and converted it into a 2 piece take down. I payed over 50 bucks and sent it off 5 weeks ago, but it has still not been delivered...

AND... I'm still waiting for it to show up. Don't worry Andy, it'll get to me soon enough!

I might let you shoot it when it gets here

red hill · August 25, 2013, 09:58:00 PM

I beg forgiveness, guys! I'm working on my fourth bow for this trade. Just when I get'em looking good something goes wacky. Today I finally tried to shoot at a low draw and one of the tip overlays split a little. But I got it super glued and reworked. It is looking good, though.

So,*********, it won't be much longer now.

SportHunter · August 25, 2013, 10:44:00 PM

Been busting tail with work, should still be on track to finish this week.
