Count me in again Kelly!  Right handed and anything from 45-65 @ 27" will do. I'll be building a selfbow.

Count me in too. I've been wanting to give this a try for a couple years now. I've built a dozen or so glass longbows, both one piece and takedown. As for the return bow, right handed and anything 55-60lbs works for me.

It's been awhile since I've posted 'round here.  'Bout time I get back in gear and get some bows made.  Thanks for heading this up again, Kelly.  

I will be making a one-piece wooden bow (self or laminated TBA) and would prefer to build for someone with a 50#@28" draw or less, as I'm rather short and scrawny.   :)   Those "big boy bows" make it difficult for me to properly shoot in.

I would truly like to add a glass bow to my arsenal this year, and one that my wife and I can both shoot.  Right-handed at 30-35#@26" (or 35-40#@28") would be perfect.

I've been shooting my bow from last year's swap, Kevin, but I've yet to get any blood on that fantastic arrow you sent along with it!  Thanks again for a great bow!

I enjoyed the swap last year so I will add my name to the mix as well!

My specs:

Right Handed
50-65# would work and I am a 28 inch draw

I haven't made up my mind on which way I will sway but it will either be a glass longbow and/or a bamboo backed one. I am leaning towards a glass bow though.

In return I would really wish for a short or takdown glass bow. Or a veteran selfbow with some skins... love them bows!

I really hope for one for turkey hunting which happens in May up my way...wink wink lol!

Thank you as always for heading this up... I enjoyed sending out two bows last year to my fellas. Such a great feeling when I received pictures of them shooting the bows and enjoying my work as much as I did building them.

Thank you to all who sign up and please please please POST EM' PICTURES!!!!!!

4est trekker,
Well, I will cross my fingers for luck.. I was hoping you would have a chance at planting that arrow..maybe soon.


I want to sign up as well. It will be made from wood, probably bamboo and yew this year.

I would like a glass bow.. 40-50@27" right handed...
I have plenty of wood bows...and I will probably throw in something extra..something pointy on one end and feathers on the other....

I will play,
I will build a RD one piece, my form will produce a 64" max, I build mostly 62" right now, so the real long draw bows would be out, I can build a left handed bow, but shoot in would be limited. I would prefer not to ship over seas but will if needed.

I would prefer a glass bow,RH take down or one piece, draw weight 55-60#@28" a couple pounds on either side would be fine.

I shoot right handed, draw solid 28", I like 45# - 55#, (self, wood lam, wood/glass lam, anything, except take downs, is fine)

I personally will build a glass laminated 1 piece longbow, 45# - 55#

Blast, I should fix this.  Last night I drew a friend's bow I made him with a roughly 50 pound draw.  This morning my shoulder socket is grinding and popping, in the need to see the ortho guys again sense.  I should probably revise down to about 40 pounds, not 40-50.  This arm isn't getting any tighter in the socket as I age.  Rather a bow I can shot than one I can't.  Don't care glass, wood, PVC, whatever.  Not picky at all.

Benn looking forward to this years swap.  I'm right handed, 28 inch draw, 45 to 50 pounds.  I'll be making a glass bow, either a hill style or r/d long bow.

I'm in.  

Any type bow design or materials is fine, prefer 60-65 pounds @ 29", but anything between 50-70 works, prefer right-handed.

I will build a glass or self bow (no Tri-lams or BBO's), longbow or recurve, depends on what my  recipient wants.

I will ship internationally if needed.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
