2015 Annual Bowswap Progress Thread

Roy from Pa · October 14, 2015, 04:01:00 PM

We are like 3months past the deadline on a 6 month swap. We are closer to the 2016 sign up than the 2015 deadline lol.

I dunno if that's funny or not, Bennny..

I could have used the bow earlier for recovery, but I'm back up to last year's bow now. God willing I'm bringing home meat tomorrow.

Good luck Ed, hope you have better luck than I've been having.

I brought home mushrooms. My wife's miniature Dachshund decided to hunt with me and chased every creature I sighted, including a NICE 13 point. I nearly shot the dog.

Well I'm sure it wouldn't have been a trophy, but I bet dachshund is tasty. I'm obviously kidding. At least you got some time in the woods and saw some action!

OK I got word from on bowyer he shipped months ago trying to track that down.

I know one is in a tube.

I may need a back up bowyer seems one has just dropped off.

There is something about that that just really chaps my a$$!

Critter that's how every one of these bow swaps goes, every one. My suggestion is to do two man swaps with people you want to build a bow for and want a bow from. I'll never touch another swap on any web site ever.

Yes it seems there is always a problem with a few folks. I can understand unforeseen problems arising. But then again, sometimes I can't understand the problem. So I don't join in anymore either, but I read the thread and pray everyone gets a bow.

I'm starting to feel this way too. I don't mind giving bows away for nothing, so it's not about that, but it also chaps my a$$ that people just bail, especially after receiving.

I might just go to one on one swaps as pearl said.

halfseminole · October 20, 2015, 06:59:00 PM

Starting to feel the same way too. I can still build bows, though I'm not as handy as I was pre-stroke. But I finished mine after the stroke and shipped-I have trouble understanding how anyone's issues (save illness or family deaths, those are different) would prevent them from finishing.

I'm just gonna save up and buy a bow. I can't shoot thumb any more and my bows here aren't good in the cold. If I get a swap bow it'll be a bonus.

SportHunter · October 20, 2015, 08:15:00 PM

Hoping we wrap this up soon and everyone gets a bow.

This year was my first time doing a swap and I am leaning this way myself. If anyone is interested in a one on one swap I am up for it.

I received my swap bow today, Thankyou Coastal Bend Bows it arrived in one piece. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet but thank you again.

Dan that's great news, looking forward to pictures.

rmorris · October 21, 2015, 06:57:00 AM

Dan, I think you hit the jackpot on that bow! Everything Dmaxshawn makes looks stunning. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Al Dean · October 21, 2015, 07:25:00 AM

There is at least one bow still not done from 2014 swap. Some people????

Roy from Pa · October 21, 2015, 08:02:00 AM

You got to be pissed, Al! That irritates the hell out of me...
