The extra fine paint pen is what I used on your bow. It's okay, but kinda clunky. Also hard to control.

I'm going to visit hobby lobby tommorow!

I’m not sure what nib this one is, but it’s the one I like to use. Since it has the resevior I can get all my writin done with one dip. And I like the print size it makes. Which I can adjust with pressure. That bow is the first one I came across in my phone wrote with that nib

Somebody's got a package:

Hello JOHN SCIFRES,

Your item was delivered at the front door or porch at 12:28 pm on August 6, 2018 to A Town, in A State, with a Zipcode.

I left the house to go to BJJ class and found a white tube from Mr Scifres on my doorstep. I haven’t cracked it open yet to see what’s hiding inside. But I can say that it made it in one piece. Once I get done with class and the gym I’ll pop her open and see what’s waiting. I’ll give an update tonight with pictures tomorrow in the daylight.

Sorry it took me a little bit to get some pictures. I got the full draw pic yesterday, then a buddy stopped by and I forgot to take more until after it was dark.
Overall it’s a good bow. A nice simple Osage bow with flipped tips that throws and arrow well and throws it where I’m looking. There is also a it in shelf, that is large enoigh to give a solidly repeatable holding point but still feel like shooting off the knuckle. And be here she is.

Btw. I’ve noticed I need to change my phone holder for taking full draws. It sits a little low, so makes the lower limb look long.

I just wanted to provide an update. The last bow has been stuck in the customs warehouse in Istanbul for a couple of weeks now, waiting on clearance to proceed the rest of the way to Ink. I'm hoping this gets resolved soon so that Ink gets his bow and we can say that this swap has been completed, with 100% of bows shipped and received.

So to repeat, we have had 100% of bows shipped and soon will have 100% of bows received! Well done to all participants. Most bows were shipped by the deadline, and all except the bow to Ink were shipped by the end of the grace period. Ink's bow was ready earlier, but the shipping to Turkey took a little more work than we anticipated and the comms have been very good as we worked through it. Thanks to those that helped on that front!

Once the last bow is received, I'll post up a summary of who received from who, etc. Stay tuned!

You did a great job Dave. I feel like new life has been breathed into a swap that was at risk of going away.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #973 on:** September 02, 2018, 05:19:11 AM »

Yes Dave did a fantastic job.
