2017 Bow Swap Thread Signup Thread

[bigbob2]

Can't make it again this year either. Wife's car has cost me $ 4500 in last couple months and have ongoing health issues to get around too.

Sorry to hear of your bad times, Bob.  Hang tough.

[passion for knowledge]

Life throws you a curve ball every now and again.

Hope things sort out.

As for me, I don't feel confident enough yet to send someone one of mine.

Maybe 2018.

I think (hope?) I'm getting the hang of this bow making thing. Time will tell.

[RJonesRCRV]

Im with passion for knowledge.  I need more practice before I sign up.

[Mad Max]

ONLY 12 so far

This is my first year, so COME ON

David, Robert, you should jump in.

The idea behind the swap is to inspire bowyers to up their game.  You both have done some very nice work and should not be reticent about getting involved.

[Al Dean]

I'm in.  45-50# @ 30".  Prefer glass but wood alright also.
I will make a glass bow.  Can make takedown if needed for overseas.

[John Scifres]

I agree with Monterey.  Plus you have several months to get better  

[Dan Landis]

I'm in again this year.  Right hand, 50-55# @27", I'll be making an all wood bow of some type.  Wood or glass in return is fine.

[passion for knowledge]

No pressure!!??

Got me seriously thinking about it.

A week to decide........

[Dan Landis]

David, I say go for it, what do you got to loose.  If you get my name, I'd be proud to own one of your bows, as long as you give it your best.  We all have to start somewhere.

[Roy from Pa]

I might jump in, especially since crittergetter isn't in. No way I would want one of his goofy looking glass take downs. His last bow made me dizzy just looking at it..    That guy prolly already sent it back to him..  

               

[Krasus]

I want one of roys!!!  :D

[Roy from Pa]

LOL

I'll trade ya a bow for a bull moose hunt, at a 5 mile back in tiny moose camp.. LOL

[passion for knowledge]

Dan, if I do something, I always give it my best.

I just want to be sure my best is good enough.

[mwosborn]

Hey - we made it to page 3.  Let's keep em coming.  Only 1 week to sign up I believe.

[KellyG]

Well I will sit this on out but it should be my last on out. I will be moving back to KS around the time the bows are shipping. I have an approved retirement from the military that is. So I have a lot to do between now and the end of June when my leave starts. 1 OCT I will be officially on the retirement rolls. SO I can track data but make bows right now is a stretch.

But I think a few more do need to join up.

And this is the place to challenge yourself. It is the reason this swap was started. There were some you had to prove your worth to. Here it is so you can get honest feed back to make better bows. so if you have a few shoot able bows under you belt or 1000 this is for you. The 1000 bow really help the few bow bowyer. It is amazing to see how much better you are when you are making it for the swaps.

Kelly sign me up i will be building a glass bow and for the bow that I receive I would like it between 50-55 lbs @ 27"

[BenBow]

I was going to but decided to build one for my best friends wife. So no time to do a third. Have fun guys

[RJonesRCRV]

Went to the only local place with multiple hardwoods in stock, figuring if I found something good, Id sign up.  No hickory, no hard maple, no good grain walnut, and questionable quarter sawn red oak.  No dice for me.
