I presently have 17 of my own bows on my racks, and 2 fibreglass bows standing in the corner. So it makes sense that I check at the post office every day, right? So far, I've seen a lot to drool over. Rob

Same here, you'd think it would be enough but I'm still stalking the mailman as well even with a pile of bows on the rack.

Them 'er some really nice looking bows! As the deadline nears this thread is hopping! Lots to look at, I always used to let my son get the mail. Lately, I try to beat him to it!

Things are starting to heat up now, some really nice looking bow being turned out. I don't believe there has been one through out this whole trade that I would not have been proud to carry. That's what I love about this trade, it brings the best out in everyone.....Dan

JGL · « **Reply #2651 on:** June 28, 2012, 10:34:00 PM »

I 2nd that Dan

KellyG · « **Reply #2652 on:** June 28, 2012, 11:16:00 PM »

Well here is what I am tracking. There are now 86 of us in the swap. 40 bows have been received and there are 5, yes 5 in the mail a ton very close to being complete and several waiting to ship but cant until the receiver completes/ships their bow. Oh and you have a 9% chance of receiving a bow in the next few days.

I might not be on much this weekend going out of town with the wife.

Kelly I think it looks really good....the one with your back towards the camera it looks spot on to me. Boswell looking good.Sweet bow Leeny. I got mine 56 at 28 and run another 30 or so through it today.....with my 26" draw it seems pretty quick and no hand shock at all.Ive got a 6' bull snake skin itchin to stick to a bow. One thing about the bull snake it is quite a bit thicker than the rattler I have by quite a bit. Hope to get skins on Sat. night.

I'm going to finish her up this weekend. I've got the grip done on the riser and most of the shaping, need to finish up with the rest. The limbs have the tips on and need shaping and other than that, sanding and finishing, baby! i'll post pics maybe tomorrow. So close!

I have the first coat of Thunderbird on mine, it is looking good. I will be building bows all weekend and then start spraying again on Monday. Leave Thursday for NALS but the bow should make the mail by Thursday morning, if not, it ships on the following Monday.

I'm right there with you all on the checking and checking the mail every single day. When I drive up to my house I can see the front door from a little ways off and I stare it down all the way down the road. Great looking bows everybody. Great work on every one of them.

Boswell · « **Reply #2659 on:** June 30, 2012, 12:26:00 PM »

Looks like I am almost done. Need to glue on back nocks. What do you guys suggest I use, Using antler back nock. I used superglue on the only other tip overlay I ever done and had issues with it. What should I use?

Thanks
Boswell
