actually off early today and home all day tomorrow. looking for some leather for the handle wrap on the swap bow , then she should be out monday at noon.

so far i havent had luck finding any decent leather strap to wrap the handle with , so im stopping at a couple hobby/craft stores and a couple thrift stores... if i cant find any leather , i may use a colored grip...we'll see...

on the bright side , everyone should be just about ready to start the new swap. anyone else sitting this year out?

sooper , i remember your thank you , i was impressed.

There are 2 in the mail 3 needing to be shipped. So 5 are awaiting their bow. So there is a 40% chance one of them fine bows are yours.

Just back from a week of Texas hunting and there was a bow waiting for me! Phil was unable to finish a trade bow so he sent me the one he received. Made by Samuel Haldeman. Looks good! Will post pics and report on shooting soon...

Yeah I think Phil had some personal issues come up with a death in the family or something of the sorts.

We'll get him marked off the list Shaun and hope all is good or getting better for him.

Well that is good that he came through one way or another. I hope you like the bow you got. Sorry to it took so long for you to get one. Now give us some pics I don't think we have seen that one but I could be wrong.

WAY TO GO PHIL..a stand up guy like that who does the right thing to hold up his end of the bargain is someone I will ALWAYS welcome to my camp. Hell I would show the guy my secret spoits.

soopernate · « **Reply #2608 on:** October 17, 2011, 10:44:00 AM »

Okay...that was a lie. I wouldnt show him my secret spots. I would take him to some decent areas though.

KellyG · « **Reply #2609 on:** October 17, 2011, 03:30:00 PM »

Ok we have 4 folks still awaiting there bows, and 2 in the mail, so it is a 50% that it is coming your way. 92% complete.

Hova is going to be either dead last in this swap or the first one in the next swap depending on how you look at it lol.

Stiks-n-Strings · « **Reply #2612 on:** October 18, 2011, 11:58:00 AM »

You might be right Nat but at least he keeps posting with updates and is staying optimistic.

You got to admire his perseverance,

soopernate · « **Reply #2613 on:** October 18, 2011, 12:38:00 PM »

Hopefully he doesnt take these gentle jabs as anything more than gentle pushes to keep going.

I'm still assuming no news is good news here... With our customs and postal people being as "fast and efficient" as they are its very difficult to decide when would be a good time to get worried.
Living in Africa might be great for hunting but it sucks in many other respects.

Osagetree · « **Reply #2615 on:** October 18, 2011, 04:53:00 PM »

Johan,

Most priority shipping world wide these days is atleast 7 to 10 days.

When were the last one's shipped out?

H8nonCubs · « **Reply #2616 on:** October 18, 2011, 05:47:00 PM »

KellyG · « **Reply #2618 on:** October 18, 2011, 07:19:00 PM »

Ok with H8nonCub that brings us up to 94% complete. Only 3 awaiting their bow.

hova · « **Reply #2619 on:** October 19, 2011, 04:38:00 PM »

soop , its cool , you didnt offend me in the least.i actually chuckled...the wife said the same thing the other night...

i have to figure out where i put the string... if i dont have it found by tomorrow im twisting one up , and making sure the tiller and everything is still ok. i had to do a bunch of sanding on the back and handle , but it came out good. money ended up being really tight this week , so i had to hold off picking up anything for the grip...

im handling the handle issue (lol) friday , then shooting it saturday and sunday to make sure everthing is good , then she's outta here monday first thing in the am.

i havent figured out a name for her yet...i need to test the spray clear i have with tru oil base and see which ink/pigment/paint wont get eaten up...
