2015 Annual Bowswap Progress Thread

[Dan76]

I am still waiting to receive a bow, and boy is it hard to be patient cause I can't wait to see what I am getting.

How about a list of who needs to ship and progress reports.

[rmorris]

Dan , that recurve you made looked amazing! I bet you are excited.

[razorback]

I'm still working on mine, had splinters raise on 2. Was working on, so am finishing plan C while trying to save plan A and B. Feeling good about bows progress but lousy about being so late again.

[Dan76]

I am rmorris, I sold my bow about 6 weeks ago and I haven't started building a replacement yet because I want to give my bow swap bow a good workout. So I have been shooting a couple of my stock bows but I can't shoot them much, they are way to light for my liking.

No half there are more. I wll push a list of who I am tracking by friday god willing. Not having internet at home limits the time I get on her a lot.

[bigbob2]

sorry to hear you are still waiting Dan, but at least it gives you a chance to shoot some more respectable weighted bows!      

[Dan76]

Ha, you know me Bob if it's not better than 70# then it's a kids bow.  

[rmorris]

I guess if your name is Dan you shoot heavy bows! A few years ago for the swap I had to make if I remember correctly , a 65# left handed bow for a Dan. I ended up making myself a 35# left handed bow before I made Dans bow so I could learn to shoot left handed. Well Dan I hope your bow arrived soon and you get back to shooting heavy bows .

Glass for new recipient's bow arrived. 3-day weekend coming up. Follow up to Doc said surgery healing well and I can pursue regular activities again. But will have to give up hunting time to keep wife happy and make progress.

This fall is crazy busy. I'm starting to have less than understanding thoughts about my original recipient backing out so late in the game.   :rolleyes:  

Stay tuned.

David, I think everyone will understand if you go hunting! I know I won't hold it against you!  Besides, I'm in no hurry. I can wait! Now as far as the Misses goes, your on your own!! Lol

[razorback]

I am still working on mine. 2 backs giving out and now I have a rawhide backed osaged bellied hickory bow that I will have ready soon. I have had 70 hour weeks and now college visits, but I will get it done cause I like the bow I got too much to give it up.

[Dustin Gilstrap]

Cant wait till I can get in on this next year!

[LittleBen]

Kelly, can we get a tally of who needs to ship and who's waiting?

We are like 3months past the deadline on a 6 month swap. We are closer to the 2016 sign up than the 2015 deadline lol.

I'm not in any major rush, really just wondering if everyone is still progressing or if we have people who are MIA.

[KellyG]
