[delongbows]

Very nice Walt....I love the contours of the riser!!! Awesome wood combo too.

Dont worry about being late Walt. Being someone that has received one of wants bows trust me they are well worth the wait. Glad your gout has healed up Walt

I wish my second effort was as nice. That's top notch, Walt.

[Echatham]

got a bow from BrianO!  Nice little Osage selfbow, 59@29, lots of little knots and character.  only had a few minutes to shoot it with underspined arrows, but seems quiet and pretty quick.  will have to get some pictures up later. He also sent a very nice bow sock (which i desperately needed).  Thanks Brian!

[Swissbow]

That's a very fine bow Walt. Nice job !

Nice bow Walt and Echatham where is the money shot.

Well one received and one more in the mail. we have 7 in the mail and 22 of us waiting you have about a 33% chance of getting a new bow very soon.

[Echatham]

I'll get it Kelly, just super busy this weekend, and its an ordeal to get pictures, gotta perch the phone on the grill and set the timer and all.  Haven't even really had time to shoot at all for the last month or two, getting the fever now though, deer season is only 35 days away, gotta get ready.

My bow should go out on Tuesday but I'll post after it does go. I was gonna write the pertinent info on the bow the other day and the bottle of India ink I have(had) was solid.       I'm going tomorrow for more ink and get 'er done.

[KellyG]

Ok I got a bit done today.

I have it tillerd out to 23" pulling about 61#.

It is coming along I still need to really get some heat on it and get the string tracking but lets see where we end up.

I love this home stretch part of the swap where everyone seems to be coming home to bows or has their's almost ready to send. Before you know it, we'll all be talking about next year's swap!

[Pat B]

Kelly, you still need to get the outer limbs bending and be careful of the hinge 6" off the left fade.
One more little hold up on my trade bow. None of the shipping tubes are long enough. I'll pick one up tomorrow and may still get the bow in the mail then too.

[goobersan]

Getting closer. sure hope !$@%#$*^% doesn't mind the wait too much.

[bowhntineverythingnh03743]

I'm ok with the wait goober!

[beachbowhunter]

Looking forward to getting my trade bow... unfortunately I won't be shooting it any time soon. Need to get my neck operated on in the next couple of weeks so I will be out of action.

[Pat B]

Well, I found out today that nobody carries thin walled PVC. I was told it is not available any more.    :mad:   I have thick walled PVC and a cardboard carpet tube so my bow will be going out in one of those tomorrow.

[Pat B]

My trade bow went out today and should be in the Mid West by Friday. Please let me know when it gets there.

[KellyG]

No update here. I keep getting roped into helping others.

[Sacred mt]

The mailman delivered a tan tube and what was inside was beyond my imagination...I was STOKED!!!! The man outdid himself in artistry and the performance of the bow shot with authority. I had to wait for about a day to shoot because of the rain...Walt Francis you'er the MAN!
