ANNUAL TG BOW SWAP (sign up thread) 2011 CLOSED

[Bradford]

All right, all right.. Im in!

I will be building a glass recurve.. might be one piece, might be take down... it's a surprise.

I prefer a glass bow.. right handed.. 35 to 40 lbs.  would consider a wood laminate bow..same specs.  R&D Longbow sounds good.. Heck.. they all sound good!  LOL

Thanks
Brad

[Stiks-n-Strings]

All Trad type bows are allowed in the swap. Fishback built a beautiful board bow last year as well as others.

 Ken need to know right or left bud.

[DVSHUNTER]

Yeah... Ima have to say I'm in again. It's way to fun to not join. I'm in the same boat as Mr. Scrifes as I have way to many wood bows so a glass bow would be cool if possible, but as always, I'm happy with anything. I'm right handed and shoot anything above 45@26. I will be making an osage selfbow.

 is it time to draw names yet?
How bout now?
Now? :-)

[kodiakkid]

I'm in again.

 I'll be building a wood bow and would like the same.

RH  45-50# @ 27"

Gonna be fun!

[jess stuart]

Count me in as well.  I will be building a glass bow of some kind.  I shoot RH and like 50-55 would prefer glass, but would gladly take a wooden one.  It was a blast last year and I bet it will be even better this year.

[Roy from Pa]

I'm in, thanks Stiks.
I draw 45 pounds at 27.5 inches, RH, wood or glass is fine.
I'll be making a 66 inch BBO Bow, r/d with horn tip over lays.

Way to get the ball rolling Stiks. I'm definitely in again. I'm pretty confident it's gonna be another board bow. It's all I know how to make right now! lol. But hopefully, I may be able to include some matching arrows. No guarantees, as this is a BOW swap. I would happily give any kind of bow I get a happy home, but i'm gonna have my fingers crossed for one of those gorgeous Osage babies I see some of these fellers make.

Right Handed. 40-50#. 28" draw.

To get the juices flowing...

Tradbower's bow to me:

     

     


My bow to Boswell:

     

     


Thanks again for putting this together Kris. Cheers.

[Inuumarue]

Alright, I'll play.

50 and up at 30" RH

I'll be making a wood laminate bow.

[Diamondback59]

ok chris  im in   i shoot 50-60# r/h@28i will be making either a static recurve or osage bow  brock

[NTD]

Not sure if I can compete with the quality of bows out there but I'd like in on this.

I'll be building a wood bow most likely a laminate.  

I'm right handed and shoot 55#@28" and will take whatever type bow my person wants to make for me.

[Dave Bowers]

OK..I'm in!

I'll be doin a wooden bow. don't have a preference on what I get. But I shoot 50-60 @ 28.
Glad this is a long build, plenty of time to get things nice and pretty.

[John Lipinski]

Appended: I may do a board bow, or a laminated glass bow, probably not wood laminate. While a novice bowyer, I'm going to try to make this the best bow i've made yet. I'm excited!

[KellyG]

Ok Stiks,
I will start making a list of who and preferred bows, weights and other data so I can get a jump on it. Shoot me a PM if you know of someone who you know does quaify this year. I plan on useing excel to make my list if you cant open an excel let me know and  I will come up with something else. I will aslo send you a copy once it is all done and names are drawn, this is just in case my real job pulls me away and  I cant follow thru. I can't wait to see the bow yall come up with this year.
Stiks PM me with any details and lessons learned from last year.
Happy New year,
Kelly

[KellyG]

Kelly

[ranger 3]

Thanks

[va]

Stiks -

This is great.  Thanks for the PM.

For my future bowyer's edification:  Right Handed, 28-29" draw, 45-55#, any style.  I am notoriously inaccurate so your bow will definitely shoot better than me.

To my future bow owner - Osage, Elm, or Maple?

va

[Bradford]

Sorry Kelly... @ 27"

[lovethehunt]

Count me in! I wanted to last year but was too late.

I shoot right handed 50-55 pounds, no preference on wood or glass. 28" draw

I will build a glass longbow, maybe a 3pc.

[Ken75]

right handed all day long

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Kelly I do believe Jess Stuarts draw length is 28" from last years swap.
