2014 Annual Bow Swap (sign up)

[KellyG]

I miss counted before with mac though we are up to 31.

[Pete W]

Count me in again this year please.
I will be building a wood selfbow of some fashion. I do best at building for draw lengths 28" and less and under 55#
For my builder I draw 27" and shoot right hand 3 under. 45 to 53# at 28"  is fine, and any type or style as long as there is   NO SNAKE SKIN , wood , glass or what ever the builder likes to make is fine as long as there is NO SNAKE SKIN .

Or his wife doesn't....

   

Could also be that his local government really does like snakes and frowns on skins that aren't attached to them.

[John Scifres]

Thanks Kelly.

I will make a wooden bow, one piece.  I'd rather not ship out of country..

I would prefer a glass bow (I have enough wooden bows    ); 50# at 27"; split finger; right handed.

[fujimo]

nope, i lived in alberia once... they're crazee...

[KellyG]

fujimo

I take it your in then also.

[David Flanrey]

I'm in too.  I will build what ever my recipient would like, self bow, glass long bow, three piece take down.  Just call it.

I had rather have a glass bow.  Like John, I have a lot of wood bows.  I'm right handed.  Would like 50-60 lb at 26".  Shoot split finger.

Pete, what's the matter man?  Was hoping to get your name and send you one of my copper head specials.

alberta government don't like to see real skins on a bow. can't kill them there. i lived in medicine hat and nearly got a fine for hunting rattlers with a skin backed bow. was lucky that the cop decided to let me go home with bow cause i had only just moved there.

45-50 ish @ 26" split finger rh

Here is some help...

I really like Hill style bows...the bows and their builders that have been posted here have me coveting thy neighbor's possessions...

Have wanted to try my hand at hill bows for a while now, Kevin. Could be our lucky build    

[Dan Landis]

I'm in, will be building a wood bow of some type.  I shoot right handed, split fingers, prefer 55 - 65# @27".

[LittleBen]

Ok just for the record ... I'm firmly planted here in the land of the free (or so they say) ... so snake skins will be fine! Hahaha.

[Pete W]

No snakes in this house. Not going to happen. And that is my choice.
had a neighbour with snakes when I was on the fire dept and told that guy if his place caught fire it would be an outside attack only unless he could produce the snakes.
I had a bow sent here one time with snake on it and as soon as I saw it I taped it back up and returned it. That sucker never got 2 inches out of the box.

lots of guys have them here on their bows, no laws against it. It is just the local snakes that are protected. We realy don't have many and up here where I am we can almost say we are snake free, other than the odd garter snake, that I still give lots of room between him and me.

I'm brother to Water Moccasin, I think I'd be afraid of myself if I were afraid of snakes.

I don't mind skins at all-in fact, I like them.  Never can find water moccasin skins though-everybody wants rattler.  I never can get time to go off on the lake alone to go hunting them, either.

[Todd Cook]

I'm in. I will build a glass longbow. I will be happy with whatever I get in return. I draw 29" around 55 pounds, right handed.

[KellyG]

Well if you were in past swaps and moved just verify your address with me even if you sent me the new one. I my not have saved it.

If you were never in a swap get me your address unless you just want me to get your bow. MUAHAHAHAHA!

[bowhntineverythingnh03743]

Evil Kelly just evil lol

[talkingcabbage]

I'm in again; last year was fun.  And thanks again Kelly for heading this up!

I will be building a 3 piece glass TD.

I'd be happy with anything in the range of 45-60# at 28" draw.  I shoot RH three under.
