I started planning my next trade bow as I was sanding the last one.

I was teasing about the Penobscot bow. But as for planning the next one as you're finishing the first one, I think many of us have been there.

I am a strong maybe. Just got the ok to attempt shooting my bow and see where I'm at. Meet with the orthopedic surgeon mid January so I'll know more then.

That looks to be made of modern materials. Who made the bow in the picture?

Wonder what an FDC looks like on a bow like that? And why does that lower backside limb have that long tip?

It reminds me of the Oneida Screaming Eagle, a recurve compound bow, if anyone remembers them from the 1980s.

I've started a couple trilam bows that ended up a little bit like that...

I will be supporter this year again. If any bowyer will quit, I can replace him/her.
In return, I am not expecting any bow since f.kng Turkish government is charging every single item in custom according to their azz and this will cost me more than real price than bow itseft.
Please join and make this event going. It is fun.

Nuff outta you Spanky...

I'm in, we didn't get the long distance job. Depending on what we get for work and where, it may be plain jane...

OkKeith · January 05, 2020, 04:14:57 PM

Kenny-

Your "plain jane" is pretty "blinged out" compared to mine and most. I am looking forward to it the swap!

I gots some ideas floating around...

monterey · January 06, 2020, 12:47:55 PM

What's the sign up deadline?

TradBowyer · January 08, 2020, 10:12:15 PM

yeah i will be in again if the decision is made to do this

canopyboy · January 09, 2020, 10:14:55 PM

I think we have enough interest to continue the tradition at least another year. Life has a way of getting the best of me, so we'll get the signup thread and rules posted this weekend instead of last. Stay tuned...

Fishinglink · January 09, 2020, 10:41:56 PM

As much as I was looking forward to it, it looks like I'm gonna be unable to play this year. I will be watching from the sidelines and looking forward to next year. Thanks for doing all this canopyboy.

I am interested. I would build a glass bow, probably 2 piece. I have only built a a dozen or so bows, I am a greenhorn. my preferance is 45-55lb range.
