ANNUAL TG BOW SWAP (sign up thread) 2011 CLOSED

[1oldbowguy]

 I would like to give it a go.  I am getting back into Traditional archery and have 2 members here who have graciously offered to teach me how to build a bow     .  I will build a wood bow almost for sure maybe R/D longbow.  I sure love this site, with all the good people.    
Looking forward to this.  Just hope I don't mess it up.    

I pull about 27" and about 45#'s to 55#'s

[formerbutcher]

Is it the 13th yet

1oldbowguy, what part of AR do you call home?  I'm in ElDorado and there are several other members from across the state.
Stan

[1oldbowguy]

Stan, I live in Hot Springs.  I have talked with 3 great members so far living in Arkansas.  Great people here one and all.

[1oldbowguy]

 Stan, P.M. sent  

[bowur]

im in
Ill be making some kind of wooden bow, probably a bilam R/D. Will take any bow but would prefer an osage or glass bow since all of mine are hickory. I shoot #45-60 @29" Right handed.

[4est trekker]

...since all of mine are hickory.

Bowur:  Did the osage recurve I made you for last year's trade not work out for you?

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Man this is getting good!

[hova]

i cant take it any longer...im going to 'splode...

[Stiks-n-Strings]

As long as the bow your building don't 'splode hova  

[hova]

wouldnt be the first time...


still wondering if im going to be able to heat-straighten the 360" twist out of it...


if not someone is getting a selfbow/emergency propeller...

[REBbowhunter]

I would like to sign up.Will build an Osage self bow or BBO.
I shoot right hand,28 in.,40-45 lb.If possible would like a glass
longbow as I don't have one but will be happy with anything.

[Aram]

I'll play. Does that make it 73?
Boo backed ipe.
I shoot RH #50 ± 5 @ 28" wood, glass or anything else that casts an arrow will be cherished.
Great idea. Missed it last year.
Aram

OK, I've gone back and forth on getting into this swap long enough.

I'm in! Just looks like too much fun to miss.

I'll be building a Hill style glass laminated longbow.

I'd prefer a RH 50 - 60# @ 28" glass laminated bow (recurve or longbow), but I've also always had a hankerin' for an osage selfbow.

Stiks & KellyG - Thanks for organizing this.  I'll send you a PM with my address.

Looking forward to getting started.

4 more days to get in and if we can get 5 more guys on that means this years swap has doubled from last year.

 AWSOME! I took a vacation this week and I'm firing up the saw to go cut some yeller wood and work on a few stave that are dry already.
