2015 Annual Bowswap Progress Thread

[breazyears]

Very nice! I would love to own that. I would love to own any of the bows I've seen here.

[talkingcabbage]

Awesome bows guys.   I'm gonna be chomping at the bit all week long.  We're going out of town for the week and won't return till Saturday,  so if a bow comes, I won't get to see it!

[SportHunter]

Couple more sweet bows, great to see so many bows getting shipped out.

[canopyboy]

Some awesome bows starting to fly around the country and the world here folks! I'm amazed at what y'all turn out.

Everyone who has given input says I should not put a wrap on my recipient's bow. So I think I will listen. The wrap would cover up the purdiest part of the bow.

With that said, my bow is ready to ship. So now I just need to get the ok from Kelly. ********, you better hurry up!

[LittleBen]

Oh man! This is starting to really hear up. Talking cabbage, very nice now.

Bob, awesome work as always. Loving those Aussie timbers!

I'm ready to ship my bow, I will ship before the deadline, still debating building a heavier one to ship and keeping this one. Either way I think my victim will be happy. This bow is turning out to be a favorite of mine.

[bigbob2]

thanks for the kind words Gents! Bow should ship this Wednesday, will notify Kelly once it's picked up.

Glad you got it okay Soy.  I hope you can make use of those "extras".  I always want to send so much more, but I either don't have it, or don't have the time.

[talkingcabbage]

I got word that there's a package waiting for me on my doorstep, but there is a problem.  I'm SEVEN HOURS AWAY!!!         At least my buddy was kind enough not to open it and shoot it like he threatened.     So, whomever built my bow, thanks!  I'll get to see her on Saturday -- I can't wait!

My wife texted me last night asking how much I spent on the new bow from Texas. She was itching to go shopping and wanted to know what her limit was.  We have an agreement, whatever I spend on Bowhunting and Fishing she can spend on things for her or the grandkids.  She was kind of disappointed when she learned it was this years trade bow.  Anyway, I am working out of town until next week, opening the long tube and posting pictures has to wait until then.

[Wagstaff]

Walt,

That sounds risky..!  She could start getting appraisals on your new bow, while you're out of town..!

[SportHunter]

23 days left to beat the 7/31/2015 deadline. I think about 1/3 of the bows have been delivered. that leaves quite a few left to ship.

Lets see some progress pics guys, its great to see what is coming down the pipeline, gives us more to drool over while waiting on our bows to show up.  

[talkingcabbage]

^^^^^ I agree!  I have one waiting for me at home, but it's always good to have progress pics to look at!

[Gaur]

I'd post pics but I can't as Kelly knows I am making him a bow.  So you'll have to wait til Kelly gets it.  I just needs a bit more coats of tru oil on it.  I'll be shipping it out in a day or two.  Waiting for confirmation for the address as he was in the middle of a move.

Someone should be getting a bow today....
