[MoeM]

My bow is still in customs clearance...

[beachbowhunter]

[Trapper Rob]

I haven't received yet Roy.

Sorry folks busy weekend. I will post up what i am tracking. RIght now I only know of one I am really concerned about. I have not seen them in a long while.

I have not shipped yet myself was hoping to finish up this weekend.

However this was the youth/handicap assisted hunt opener. I volunteer to take someone out every year. It is my fourth year doing it and this year made me 50% successful. Over all we took out 27 hunter and harvested 15 deer. Most it is their first hunt ever.
Pat I have been shooting that bow, heck I even let other shoot it who never shot one like it before.
I need to do a bit more finish work and bit more scrapping to get her way out to the recipients draw. But I am close.

Sorry again for being absent.

I just got word from my builder that there is a bow in the mail coming my way! He had troubles with the one he was building and is sending me one from a previous swap.

[razorback]

Well I am still waiting but since I have been chronically late in the past I can wait as long as my builder needs, just keep working on it.

[KellyG]

Here is who I have still waiting on a bow.

Let me know if I am wrong and I will look at my spread sheet and see where I went wrong.

BrianO has received his bow. I got to shoot it. It awesome!

[delongbows]

I went home for lunch today and the mailman handed me a package as I was leaving to come back to work. I'm pretty sure I know what it is   ....thanks Paul!
Just have to wait till quittin time so I can play.

[bowhntineverythingnh03743]

Congrats del! I heard the mailman pull up but he only dropped off bills... Bummer

[kevin_h]

I am beginning to hate my mailman....

[Roy from Pa]

You're a lucky man, Dave.

[delongbows]

Yes I most certainly am Roy! Here are the first shots after I got the brace height dialed in. All I can say is this bow is friggin sweet!!! Thanks so much Paul...I will try to get it bloody next month.

[timbermoose]

 looks like it shoots well for you.

i think my mailman went on vacation or something. i haven't gotten any mail in over a week, not even bills.    :rolleyes:

[Pheonixarcher]

Excellent!!! Great shooting Dave! I'm glad you like it.

[bowhntineverythingnh03743]

Is it bad when you start going through the whole list to figure out who is getting what since there isn't many people left?

[KellyG]

mjwhitby is correct I went back and found where BrianO did post he received. So 2 more came off the wait list I am tracking 6 still in the mail.

So that is the new list of who needs a bow still.

I am only worried about 1 bowyer and that is Juan. I have not seen nor heard from him in some time.

[mjwhitby]

I have received my bow from Sacred mt. Due to some complications he sent me the bow he received in last years swap built by Justin Laffin along with a very nice knife. The bow is a very awesome BBO.  I will post some pics when I get a chance.

[bowhntineverythingnh03743]

Mjwhitby great to know you like the BBO I built last year. That bow was hard to give away since it was my best by far. Hope you take it and produce some blood with it this year!

 

 

 

This is some pictures from when I completed it last year.

[bowhntineverythingnh03743]

I have been in two swaps so far and have given away 4 bows. I feel awful when people don't pull through and leave people hanging! If it comes down to it again this year Kelly I will volunteer to make another one for someone like last year just let me know!

I currently am gonna have to hunt with a wheel bow since I have given away every bow I have made. Introducing people to traditional archery means more to me than keeping a bow.

Hopefully I will be able to hunt with a swap bow this year!

Just let me know Kelly!
