2014 Annual Bow Swap

[bigbob2]

just moving toward Autumn here, temps getting very livable now, not the 112* of a few weeks ago! that's a bit of our practice range of our local club in background. mostly rain forrest and in wet season mostly swamp!

[fujimo]

flatheads in the swamp??

[bigbob2]

???????? EEEERRR , no? Flat head[ the fish] live in salt water. This is all freshwater swamp, haint nuthin in there 'cepting us archers 'n' maybe odd rabbit, fox, and brush turkey, and of course swamp tigers [snakes] pythons, goannas and etc etc.  

[Trapper Rob]

Nice looking bow Bob.

[Roy from Pa]

If I had legs like that, I'd wear long pants..    Bow is nice though...

[David Flanrey]

Great looking bow Bob!  Wish it was warm enough here to wear short pants.  LOL

[Echatham]

I should be ready to ship in a week or so(if i can bare to part with it), couple more coats of tru-oil and some prettying up to do, and i gotta crest and fletch up these hemlock shafts for whats-his-name.

[delongbows]

Awesome Bob!!!

[razorback]

Roy you do have legs like that, just skinnier.
Nice bow Bob. I think he was talking crocs as the "flatheads". Not the fish though a nice piece of fried flathead does sound nice.

[fujimo]

You betcha Tony,
we call 'em "flat heads" or "flat dogs",
obviously not a problem then!
good deal.
love that hill bow!- they always look so stately!
and yours are truly a work of art!

That's great Bob.  As the one that got one of Bobs bows from last year swap whoever gets it will be super pleased with it.  Well done Bob.

I was on my way out to my shed to work on mine and the door to my shed was froze shut.  We got a bunch of freezing rain lastnight so everything has a nice smooth coating of ice.  I could probably knock it open but Im not risking tearing my weather stripping out.  I spent some time going through my wood stash trying to come up with a riser.  Thinking walnut sides with a maple ibeam.  Don't know yet though.

You could wear shorts here if you like. They'll laugh at you in the hospital though...
   
Bob, I'm so jealous of whoever is getting that bow - unless of course it's me.      
Dave.

[bigbob2]

Oh! We do call them flat dogs,lizards handbags etc, but I never made the connection with flathead    thanks for your kind words fujimo. Roy I'm 6'4'' so my legs just look skinny, whereas yours look like chickens and you're the same size as a chicken!!!          

[Jorgy]

Nice lookin' bow Bob.

[Echatham]

i think the most stressful part of the whole build it getting the writing right.      i didn't like the way it looked so i sanded it off. try again tomorrow or late tonight when the new coat of finish is dry.

[Roy from Pa]

6'4" Bobby ? I didn't know they piled bull-crap that high...    

[fujimo]

hey i like the hand bag analogy- will be using that in the future    
they say laughter is the best medicine- man i aint ever gettin sick!!

[Roy from Pa]

Right on, Wayne. It's so much fun exchanging barbs with folks in here, and we all just take it in stride. Heck we all have friends from all around the globe in here, because of our love for Traditional Archery...  

And Bobby is just so sexy..    

   

[Roy from Pa]

Bow is pretty cool too...

[bigbob2]

                 wish I could use photoshop or the like Roy so you're safe ----for now!
