Thanks fellas I try it really is not to hard just a lot of names so I forget a lot and ask the same questions over and over. Sorry to the ones I did that too.

Don't sweat it, Kelly. You and Stiks have done a fabulous job on this trade. Organization is tedious and time consuming but you've got it licked! Thank you very much!

Kelly you can mark me as a happy camper!!!  My bow from Caleb Swisher arrived today.  She is a bamboo backed osage and 57# @ 28" and very sweet looking and shoots as good or better than it looks.  Thanks a million Caleb I truly love it.

Walt, if I can pull a few strings here. I will see to it that you get my name in next years swap:) Walt, that bow is fantastic.. And the tip overlays are just great. ^ 5 Roy

P.S.  I love how you positioned the arrow rest to have the contact point directly above your hand contact. That is how it should be, Walt.

[Citycop]

Beautiful bow Walt. Sure wish it wasn't wrong handed.

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Kelly I put mine in the mail bud
