2014 Annual Bow Swap (sign up)

[KellyG]

Canopyboy I under stand that, my wife said I thought you were not doing that this year. Well I was not going to because of work but things changed there so I can.

I did learn from last year I enter this on and the one on PA that was to much for me. I am only good for about 2 bows a year if I am lucky. Talk about stress.

Congrats D!  My wife and I just had our third, a second baby girl in Dec.  They're the most challenging and the most rewarding thing you will ever encounter.  And don't worry too much about the sleep thing.  You'll forget what "sleep" is in no time    

[razorback]

Dave, that is awesome news congratulations. Get in the swap and make a bow now, cause you wont have time later.

I was debating with myself on whether to do the swap this year or not. I was the worst offender last year for being late and was considering a self imposed penalty. However my daughter said I should get in again to prove i can do it but that "I should start yesterday" So I guess I am in again. RH, 28-29" draw, anywhere from 40-60# and any make or model.

[D]

Thanks everybody...  Glad you got in again Tony.

[soy]

If needed I could build a wood bow vs a glass to keep the # even ...let me know  

[red hill]

Great news, D! Don't let these guys stress you. You'll love it.  Anyway, a new baby will stress you more than this! LOL!      

Glad you're in, Razorback! I wasn't far ahead of you finishing my last trade bow and deliberated on entering, or not. Surely we can't have two bad years in a row... Can we?     :rolleyes:

[Dan Landis]

Congrats D, it is definitely life changing.  Just like the bows, I wouldn't give a minute of that time back.

[razorback]

Thanks Red, I'm not planning on another bad year. i already have a couple of options in the works. i may not be one of the first finished but I'm not going to be one of the last.

[KellyG]

Soy I would just suggest you wait and see who you draw and see what they my want.

[jsweka]

Well Guys, I've been giving this some thought and I'm going to sit this year out.  I've already got a couple bows promised to close friends and I've got a lot of travel coming up for work this spring.

Ya'll have fun and I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines.

[DVSHUNTER]

Im still on the fence this year.  Ive got a lot on my plate as far as bows go plus planning and prep for a moose hunt.  We will see...

[KellyG]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jsweka and maybe DVSHUNTER. But I completely understand yall must be really busy. Heck DVS can knock a bow out in a weekend. Heck with a bunch of elves at MOJAM he can supervise about 50!

[canopyboy]

Dang, that is a shocker.  No John?  Must have been a hard decision to make.  I'm more of a jump in with both feet and figure out how to swim later kind of bowyer....

[Echatham]

ok im gonna do it.  i will be building a selfbow of some sort. and would prefer an "organic" bow, self,backed,or laminate, just no glass.  RH, 3 under 50-60# (lower end of that is better i guess) @ 29".   and i ain't askeered of no snakes  

[Troy D. Breeding]

I had planned on getting back in again myself. However, I think this year I'll be setting this one out. I've already got more furniture building lined up than I had planned to do.

[SportHunter]

I'm out this year, best of luck on all your builds! Can't wait to see all the great bows.

[KellyG]

Well we are up to about 46 and about halfway through the sign up.

[Goose Gossett]

So I randomly come back and creep but haven't posted squat.  With the recent move, job change, and addition to the family I'm going to have to sit this one out.  I'll also be watching from the sidelines.  Good luck y'all!

[KellyG]

goose I have a log I need to split but I know you would like a stave off it. It is good and snaky. Come over to Manhattan KS so we can split it up.

[ranger 3]

I'm in, I will build a Osage self bow maybe backed don't know yet. I shoot anything 45@27 RH.
