2014 Annual Bow Swap

canopyboy · February 24, 2014, 05:07:00 PM

Well, stop shooting it and send it on! Then you won't have to buy any new arrows...

Nice bow, I won't be sending it back.

Echatham · February 24, 2014, 05:14:00 PM

easy now

im sending the arrows with it. and its still gotta get skinned and shined up... and i want to get around 500 shots through it so i can be sure nothing funky goes on. ive had bows go funky after a couple hundred shots, but i think ive learned my lessons from those.

YOU MEAN I'M GOING TO GET ARROWS TOO!! Thats a great deal. Looks great. Look forward to seeing it all prettier up

Very nice looking bows gents.
I made some good progress on my swapper it pushes an arrow very nicely and surprisingly quiet for a recurve, not sure if the static tips help with that or not. It's about 3lb heavy at my shooters draw so I should be able to drop it down to his max with a little sanding. Went with zircote, bocote, and zebra in the riser. A little shaping left and a lot of hand sanding and she'll be on the shelf till I get the ok from Kelly. I promise you'll want it for spring hunting.

Nice bows, guys!

Tried to work on my trade this past weekend but got roped into a honey-do job! Why can't spouses understand?

Need a couple of warm dry days to glue everything up.

Very nice bows my friends!
I've been wanting a static belly mount. Guess I better get my rear in gear if I want that thing tuned up for spring gobblers! Lol. Might take me a bit longer now loosing Kenny. Anyone have an alternative source for lams other than Binghams?

goobersan · February 25, 2014, 07:50:00 AM

John at Old Master Crafters. PM me if you need contact info

Roy from Pa · February 25, 2014, 09:06:00 AM

goobersan · February 25, 2014, 03:12:00 PM

Better not make them pink Eric. They just may gravitate towards Pennsylvania.

Echatham · February 25, 2014, 03:19:00 PM

hell they might gravitate a whole lot further than that

or maybe just Pennsylvania... we'll see. put about 200 shots through her today and im happy happy happy. I shoot this thing pretty darned good even though its slightly different from what i usually shoot. might just have to keep it

. dropped a pound or two throughout shooting in, but still nicely in the range. doing my finish sanding now. might be gluin a skin on it by tomorrow or the next day.... oh, and i gotta order them shafts. maybe ill try them hemlocks that surewood has now.

halfseminole · February 25, 2014, 06:48:00 PM

Just ordered myself a nice stick of hickory for my trade bow-think I have a good idea for my recipient finally...
