Ya that sucks... Postal service does not give two @%#$s about your package. Gotta pack things so that the hulk cant break um.

Update on who still needs to ship?

I have a bow that I built to test out a form and did not intend to send for the swap, but since I can't get ahold of anyone I thought I'd send it out anyway. I need to make sure my recipient will be happy with it. It is about 5# less than their lower weight limit, but it is a very nice shooting bow. It's a 68" Hill style with almost 1" of backset built in.

Apparently I can't share photos through Photobucket, so go to this link for pictures. It should work.

Please also comment if this would be an acceptable bow if it's 5# lighter than you're wanting.

5# wouldn't bother me in the least. I say send it. The way I see it, if I can shoot it, I'll play with it. If it's too heavy, I'll build up to it. In not drae weight particular.

I'm just waiting on the go ahead from Kelly. Been done for several months.

5# less doesn't bother me at all!

Krasus · « **Reply #208 on:** July 17, 2017, 09:31:00 PM »

5 lbs wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. As long as it's at least 45# min. That way I can legally kill a critter with it

Folks Sorry for not checking in sooner. I am now going go back through and get caught up today and tomorrow.

KellyG · « **Reply #210 on:** July 19, 2017, 12:08:00 PM »

Ok if a bow broke in shipping the bowyer who made it needs to make it right. I am caught up now. Again sorry for not getting on sooner. Moved back to KS settled and I have made a bit of headway on the honey due list. I will post a shipped and not shipped list later today or first thing in the AM.

Dan Landis · « **Reply #213 on:** July 21, 2017, 02:57:00 PM »

Looks good ink.

Finally got mine in the mail today. Someone should be receiving a bow in a few days.

Walt Francis · « **Reply #214 on:** July 21, 2017, 11:44:00 PM »

Kelly good to see you back.

A quick update: My bow is bending good and tillered to 24". I plan on working on it tomorrow at the Traditional Bowhunter of Montana annual shoot and hope to ship it by the end of this month.

Walt Francis · « **Reply #215 on:** July 21, 2017, 11:48:00 PM »

Oh ya,
I'm fed up with photobucket and third party hosting, therefore the number pictures I post here on Trad Gang will be limited, if any. At least until the format changes.

KellyG · « **Reply #216 on:** July 22, 2017, 05:55:00 PM »

Thanks walt

I have been extremely absent from the board lately. My apologies. I have my bow ready to go except for the leather on the handle. It will ship next weekend at the latest.

mwosborn · « **Reply #218 on:** July 24, 2017, 01:49:00 PM »

Good deal - a couple more close to shipping!

talkingcabbage · « **Reply #219 on:** July 27, 2017, 11:58:00 PM »

Planning on shipping tomorrow. Hopefully no snags. She's got a ways to travel
