2019 Bow Swap Thread

[goobersan]

pulling for you buddy....hope you get it all fixed and get back up and at them. but if you have to do yoga I'm sure you'll rock the yoga pants. they come in all the colors of the rainbow

X2        although.................. you do have a brand new set of pink yoga chaps !!

[Bvas]

Roy you must be walking around the mountain the wrong way.

Long leg goes on the downhill side!!

[Flem]

Rainbow yoga pants and pink chaps, that's a formidable combo.

You have a few options for a bulging disc. From Chymopapain injections to laser slicing. Or a long wait for it to shrink, which it will do over time. It's a Bit** anyway you look at it. You must have been playing hard and fast at some point in your life.

When I'm hurting, I think of a quote from HST;
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

Alright......confession/question time.

Confession-My swap bow has been done for about two weeks. Started out that I wanted to shoot it some before I shipped it. The more I shot it, the more I liked it. The more I liked it, the more I shot it 

The bow is no record setter in the speed department. But not bad either. Finger release I’m consistently getting 172 with a 10gr arrow. I am most impressed with how quiet the bow is. I bet mouse farts are louder than this bow.

Now the question-Is it completely wrong that I want to take this bow turkey hunting the next week or two before I ship? 

[Roy from Pa]

I Guess you could field test it:)

[Crooked Stic]

I would say turkey blood would be good Mojo for your victim. --------- Unless its mine then send it right now   

[Fishinglink]

Well if you did bag a turkey with it you could always gift the wing feathers of the opposite that you use. Then they could have some matched mojo fletching for it. But then again Murphy could be lurking around Ohio too. I know he’s stopped by my place a few times recently.

If it was me, I'd send it so I didn't risk something happening to it. But if I was to receive it, I'd love some turkey mojo.

Of course, if you took it turkey hunting and didn't get nuttin', well that's a bow I wouldn't want neither... 

Purdy in the flowers though!

[Bvas]

Well, sounds like most would like to have some pre added mojo.

Thanks Cody and Dave for jinxing the s#*+ outa me

[goobersan]

Fine with me but if you get turkey blood on my new bow ya better not wash it off  !!

[Flem]

No such thing as a new, virgin bow. They get tested and exercised. It's a tool, the more it's used the better. Take that thing out and have fun!

[Roy from Pa]

Ya might be a redneck ifin:)

Ifin ya happen to drop that bow and it lands on a rock and nicks the glass, well then you will have yourself a new bow.

Ifin ya slam the truck door on the bow tip, ya will have yourself a new bow.

Ifin ya drive the tip into a rock on the ground when ya shoot that gobbler, ya will have yourself a new bow.

Not like you have Never dropped a bow on a concrete floor before?

Go ahead and take it hunting, you have plenty of time to build another one, and ya will have yourself a new bow:)

LOL

[Crooked Stic]

Bows dont sound nice when they hit a concrete floor   

[Roy from Pa]

Nope, doesn't hurt a wood bow but it sure messes up them gwass bows:)

[Bvas]

Thanks for the confidence boost Roy.

Bow was unharmed in this mornings hunt. 
But no turkeys were harmed either

[Fishinglink]

Temporary nocks cut in so I can get the long string on. Gonna glue up my tip overlays tomorrow so I can shape them a little before I get them on the bow.

Well, not much time tonight to get caught up on my tracking, but: There were 18 entrants. I think there were 3 received not counting Roy's bonus bow, but I need to double check (Skeater, 4Point, and Bue?) If I missed yours, don't be offended I'm having trouble remembering my name at the moment. There are several bows on the verge of shipping and waiting on final finish or turkey blood.

If you haven't posted an update in the last couple weeks, please do so even if you can't figure out how to find and work your camera. I'll take whatever info I can get. If you've already pm'd me lately, you're good.

Thanks.
