2012 annual TG bow swap (signup thread) update!!!!

[Roy from Pa]

I believe it's best to keep it a bow swap.

[KellyG]

Well we are up to 34.

[Roy from Pa]

Dang Kelly, you can count son:)

[KellyG]

Yep Roy as long as I can take me boots off first.

[soopernate]

How the hell did you get to 34 just by taking off your boots?  The visual is not only astounding but slightly disturbing.

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Not an arrow swap. If your builder throws in something extra that's fine but not required

[Ranger44]

I'll give it a go again.  I'll probably build a hickory backed something!

I'm right handed and 45-55#  @ 28" will do.

A glass bow would be nice as I don't have one but anything anyone wants to build is fine with me.

[Nim-rod]

I've been debating whether to do this or not but what the heck I may as well. I will be building a hickory all wood one piece bow with some flipped tips as fancy as I can get it to whatever specs I need to make it to.
I shoot righty and would like any style at all pulling 45-55# @ 29" (over is fine too). Not picky on length.
I'm very excited now. I'm going to put my best efforts into this and I'm looking foward to seeing what I can do when I have to give it to sopmeone else. I'm pleased with my work so far but I want someone else to enjoy it too so sign me up! Thanks.

I'm really diggin' all of the posts.  I'm really excited.  Finishing up a couple-two-three projects then I can't wait to start building!

[red hill]

Man, this took off quickly! Thought I'd been watching for the sign-up. Must have dosed off.

Sign me up! I'm left handed, draw 26" and would like anything 50-60#.

Last go round Keenan fixed me up with exactly what I asked for... Sounds kinda like Santa doen't it?

I am not picky. Just enjoy the fellowship and good times keeping up with Kelly and his magic toes!    

For anyone trying to decide about joining in, you'll never know till you try.  I've learned more from the last swap than from any other one source.  The experience is GREAT!

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Red as lucky as you got last year in the draw I'm gonna talk to the bow swap mafia and see if we can set you up with a good piece of firewood    

 Roybert is the muscle in the bunch  

 Seriously though I was glad to see someone like yourself get a super sweet bow and look forward to seeing some hero pics with it.

Oh come on now, he just counts the tens on his toes.
   

If this thing goes past 100 he might have problems though.

I think it's all those brain cells killed by the toxic mix of raspberries and hops.

 

[soopernate]

MmmmmmmMMmmmmm good....those raspberries and hops. Its TUESDAY night though so I was thinking maybe blueberry vodka and lemonade (try it, you will like it)

[wildcat hunter]

Sorry guys, I just saw Snakebit40's post and thought I could help out somehow. Thanks for the correction.

[Jorgy]

I'd like to give this a shot.I have followed this in the past,looks like fun.I'll build a glass bow,r/d,60# and under.I shoot right handed,28" draw,45-50#.Not fussy about bow type.

[red hill]

I forgot to say what I'll be making... I kinda favor the hickory backed osage flat bow. They're not too challenging but are great bows.  

The style matches my ability pretty well since I'm still learning and developing. My HBO shoots quite well and fast.

Plan to keep my students involved on this year's swap. Some of them, boys and girls, are eating this up like crazy.  

[red hill]

Oh, yeah! I've been puzzling over KellyG's counting technique and figure he must be filling notches in his toe nails. Only way I can think of that toes can help keep up with the numbers that are piling up.

How many today, Kelly?
