LOL

Well I got word that one bow is very close to being done. Finish is going on but may take a few days to dry.

red hill · November 06, 2013, 09:21:00 PM

Slowly but surely!

Are we done with this swap yet? Does anyone know? I'm already getting ideas for next year, assuming we have one.

KellyG · November 10, 2013, 02:50:00 PM

No we are not done 2 bows still out. One has the finish drying the other is slowly but surely!

Both awaiting bows have assured me they are in no hurry and would rather have a very late bow then a rushed bow.

Kelly and Co. I will be hand delivering my bow at Thanksgiving. The recipient lives very close to my wife's family and I figure at this stage of the game, hand delivery with a hand shake and apology for the lateness is the decent thing to do. My current hickory bow is well tillered but had issues with the tip overlays. Have taken them off and ave some new ones drying. Will shape and adjust tiller this week. and hopefully have this bow good to go in time. If not it will be the bow I got that I will deliver.

KellyG · November 12, 2013, 10:44:00 PM

Razor thanks for the up date. I know the other one is done also and should be going out in the mail this week I believe So we should be wrapped up with this very soon.

KellyG · November 13, 2013, 08:59:00 PM

I just received a tracking number for a shipped bow. well that means Millhimes and soy have a 50% chance of receiving a bow in the mail very soon and a 50% chance raxzor will hand deliver a bow around thanksgiving.

soy · November 13, 2013, 09:12:00 PM

Looks like I have pretty good odds then

red hill · November 13, 2013, 11:29:00 PM

I would like those odds, too,soy,

goobersan · November 18, 2013, 05:55:00 PM

Well ??? Anybody have a new bow yet ?

KellyG · November 18, 2013, 07:39:00 PM

Goobersan It is that time of year where it takes Packages some time to travel. I have a feeling by Thanksgiving this will be wrapped up.

goobersan · November 19, 2013, 07:08:00 AM

Millhimes · November 30, 2013, 11:28:00 AM

cross me off the list kelly,tony,aka razorback,just hand delivered his swap bow D made for him.Super nice guy.I feel bad he had to pass along such a beautiful bow.I gave him a hbi i was making for a hunting bow that was not finished and not fancy at all, so he would get something out of the deal but i came out way ahead.Thank you tony,and D,and it was very nice meeting you--Joe

KellyG · November 30, 2013, 11:53:00 AM

Well thanks for the up date you were the last one. We are 100% now.

Thanks to all who made this year successful and I get a month to recover until the next one starts.

Ok we started out with 74 bowyers and 67 bows received. I am tracking 2 forwarded bows, 4 dropped out in good standing and only dropped off and is banned. So I would say a 100% successful.

Thanks to all of you for making it successful. Enjoy your bows and happy hunting well well have new names in a month or so.

Kelly
