2024 Bow Swap Progress Thread - Closed

[Smguinnip]

Sprayed what should be the final coat on my victims bow and should be sending it out soon. And learned that I need to work on my form after seeing my full draw pic, but here it is.

Grabbed some arrows that I had kicking around, probably not tuned to the bow but still shot some pretty good groups, can’t wait to see how it shoots when tuned. Thanks again for such a great bow Jess.

You are very welcome.  Your form looks just fine to me.

So I took my trade bow out this last weekend to let someone with the proper draw shoot it. My 26 inch draw doesn't work. I saw something I want to fix and now I might be past the highest weight of my victim. I have another attempt ready to tiller, but it may take sone time. This is round two that I've missed weight on. I'm just checking in to let everyone know what's going on. What are your thoughts on two pounds ligher than requested? Asking for a friend. 😀

I wouldn't mind 2 pounds I like to shoot all sorts of bows. Not everything has to kill a bear.

[jess stuart]

I was informed I had a package with my name on it at the post office.  I am hoping it is my swap bow.  Hopefully pics and updates later today.  Fingers are crossed.

My "trial balloon bow is far enough along to give me the data needed for the swap bow.  I'll be ordering from Kenny in the next few days. 

[jess stuart]

No need to hope any longer my wishes were granted.  I received a beautiful 64" takedown longbow from 4 point.  She is simply beautiful and the craftsmanship is spot on.  The weight at 51# is perfect. 
Didn't shoot it yet as the wind is gusting to about 50 mph.  Thanks a million Travis it is wonderful

Couple more pics.

Glad it made it there without damage. I hope you like it. You might want to try a different string. That is one I had sitting around and I think it’s less strands than I normally use. It seems to have more of a ring to it on the shot than normal.

[jess stuart]

Will do Travis.  What material is the string?  Thanks again it is wonderful.

It’s D97.

X 2    I think we’re almost the last 2 left, gotta happen someday soon.

I’m fine with 2 extra pounds. I put on more than that over the winter myself, so we can work it off together.

[Buemaker]

Is it two pounds below the lowest requested weight you mean? If so, I would not mind.

[Crooked Stic]

2 lbs. Not a bid deal

[Jon Lipovac]

I'm good with having a bow missing weight a little.
I'd rather it be on the lower side than the higher side. Heavy bows are great to hunt with but the lighter bows are funner to shoot, IMO. God knows, I'm not on the getting stronger every day side of the life cycle.

Ima waitin

The wind died down to 30 mph this afternoon.  Was able to shoot a few arrows.  Shoots very nice quiet and seems fast draw and is very smooth.  This is  the nicest swap bow I have received so far.  Thanks again Travis!  I love it.

I have a Travis bow and they ARE SWEET !

Congrats Jess!
