Hi Kris, I just picked up your bow at the post office. Man that sure is a very nice piece of wood. You did a fantastic job on that one. I haven't shot her yet ( too much work... ) but I intend to do that extensively that weekend. Will post some pictures in a few days.

At the beginning of that bow swap thing I was kind of sceptical, but now I must admit that I enjoyed every minute working on it. And this afternoon when I unpacked the bow I felt like the boy I was 35 years ago getting his   xmas present.

Thanks again for this fantastic experience and a very cool looking bow.

----------
Andy

I received an email from my trade partner, on the 9th of July, he said I should have the trade bow  by the 23rd.  
   I have to stop running to meet the Mail Lady, I think she is getting  the wrong idea.  :laughing:

I've got in contact with everybody but 2 guys and will send them an E-mail today. All other bows have been shipped or will be in a few days so I would say this thing went down pretty smooth so far.

 Tradbower that is some funny stuff right there. I think my mail lady is used to me waiting at the mail box on packages LOL at least I hope she ain't getting the wrong idea    :laughing:

Double what Pete said! By the way brother the bow you sent me is still one of my favorites to shoot. Not to mention whoever I show it to and tell them the story of how I got it from you and sent one that I made to Boswell says that has to be one of the coolest things they've heard sportsmen do. They usually ask "for free?" first and can't believe anyone is still down to earth enough to pull something involving trusting a stranger off like this.


Btw Stiks, I don't recall seeing the bow you recieved. Did you get one and I not see it or have you not gotten yours yet?

Fish my bow should be here anytime, my builder sent me a message and said he was shipping late last week so it will be here any day.

I haven't been on the thread or even the sight much, but I've been under the weather some. Sorry
I recieved my bow from Longbowhuntr (thought I sent him a msg Thanking him but I can't find it) and it is nothing less than a work of art. I'll try and post some pics in the future. I did get to shoot it at the ITBA range and everyone there was very impressed with the bow. The only problem I have with it it is I can't bring myself to hunt with it because it is so pretty and has such nice curves lol

Next I guess we should try and get togather for a tradgang bow swap shoot????

Finally got my thumb out of my a@$ and sent my bow off yesterday. Also sent message to Mater to tell him it was on the way, as I know he was getting anxious. I like the idea of a shoot but that might be a little hard to pull together.

I have contacted everybody and we had two guys that where unable to build a bow due to unforseen circumstances.

 I have contacted the recipients of these two bows so if you haven't recieved a bow yet and haven't got a message from me don't worry it should be on the way very soon.

My bow is at the post office. They wont give it to me because some kind of numbers smeared in shipping. I think this is a test of my patience. Mark

My bow ain't here yet either Mater. I think we may both be having our patience tested.

 What did they tell you you had to do to get it?
