What is this!  IT is  2:46,  the bows were delivered at 2:02 and no pictures?  Man is it hard to get good help these days>

oh, I bet you got swallowed in to the Black Hole when you opened the box.  In case you are hanging out on the lanai the box is at your front door.   :bigsmyl:

Sorry I got caught up at School.  So Pictures I guess is what is needed. S0 here we go.

Waiting on my front step.
 

Pete wraps a mean box.
 

 

 

 

So far so good.  All look to be in good condition on the outside.

Looking at the shapes I sure Rany's Bow is in here somewhere

I have gotten through all the Uline wrapping tape.

Thought I would show you how Pete protects his limbs and tips. They are protected by insulation piping, wrapped in carpenters paper and secured with Uline wrapping tape.

 

Except for one he must have run out. I am having a devil of a time getting through the masking tape.  I'll get it eventually/here are the risers I can show you.

Guess the masking taped bow is Randy's.
I'll geter done as soon as I get back.

Thats a beauty nice work Pete. I am sure Randy will do it justice in FL.

But after watching this build I'm sticking with selfbows, man that was a lot of work, selfbows are a heck of a lot easier.
