Howdy Bow Traders -

Jake F. out of Great Bend Kansas asked me to post pics of the bow he is 90% done with.  He plans on shipping to some lucky person later this week.

As soon as I remember how to post pics I will...

Here Jake has her at full draw.  Something in the mid-50#s and 62 or 63" NTN.  No backing and just a hint of a bend in the handle at full draw.

Thanks gentlemen for all the nice comments about my bow.  And you too Roy.

I wish it hadn't taken me so long.  Next years resolution is to get mine out quicker.

The white tube is in the mail.  Here it comes!

Kris & Kelly please mark me as shipped and received.

I just checked the USPS tracking number and my recipient's bow is "out for delivery" from the local office.  I think that means it should be at the destination today!

oh man oh man oh man. We've got one about to land, one about to take flight, and at least one (the one I shipped) still on its way ... I just checked and it has arrived at it's new home state ... hopefully soon to be delivered.

This is exciting. Hope one of these is coming to me!

I was the lucky one today.  :goldtooth:  When I got home from work I had a white tube on the carport. Thanks Ranger44 and all who made this possible. This was my first year and I have enjoyed the excitement and veiwing all the nice looking bows being made.
Thanks
Keith

When I came home from work today I had a parcel recovery slip in the mail box. I wonder what it might be. Unfortunately it was to late to go to the post office and get it. Ah man the suspense is killing me, aaahhhggggrrrrr !!!    :mad:    :mad:

Well, it's not just a bow. It's a beautiful looking three piece take down longbow made by LittleBen. Thank you very much Ben you did a fantastic job. Unfortunately I just had the time to take it out of the box before I had to go. But it's very well crafted and it looks great. If it shoots only half as good as it looks I'm a happy man and I'm sure it does. Tomorrow I'll have the time to test it and take some pics.

Oh, I almost forgot, last week I finished my swap bow. Here are some teaser pics...

 

The upper one is a bow I made for my buddy Roland...
 

 

I hope I can send it off within the next week.
