TG BOW SWAP 2012 (pics and post)

[Keenan]

Great looking bow Adeeden. Once again we all jump in excitement and check our front door daily for a package!

[Dan Landis]

Great looking bows everyone.

Adeeden, I like the profile and the skins, great job!!!

Keenan, That vine maple stave looks like a real challenge, but if anyone can do it you can.  Keep us posted on the progress.

[Roy from Pa]

Well Kelly, ya like your new bow?  I see it was delivered today at 2:23.

Good lookin' bow Adeeden! Top notch! When I first saw this thread I was bummed to have joined Trad Gang too late to get in on it. But after seeing the bows in here, I don't think I'm a worthy enough bow maker just yet.  Amazing bows everyone!

Kelly got a bow? Where's the pics?

Nice bow, Adeeden. Who's lookin' at form?

JT, sit back and enjoy the show. That's what I did my first year. Next time around won't be long.

[Roy from Pa]

What the heck is bust shooting Dave?

[KellyG]

Well heck roy is that is whats in that tube, I did not know that. I was about to get the hacksaw out.
I mean this is whats on one end.

 

and this is the other.
 

I guess I really need to be careful with the saw.
I have been flipping this around for an hour now.

[red hill]

Okay! Now I see why it's taking Kelly so long to post pics. He can't get into the tube! LOL!
I was beginning to suspect you had a mean streak, Roy.  

[Roy from Pa]

LMAO...    

Have fun Kelly, this ole boy is going to bed..

[KellyG]

Ok roy got the tube cut open now how does this take down go back together?

Gosh I hope I don't recieve a tube with a stick in it with lines on it saying "remove wood here for bow". Unless of course it's orage wood with snake skins. That I wouldn't mind so much.

[Keenan]

          Roy you ol bird that was great!

[KellyG]

Ok here are a few pics and the story. I get home just after 5pm and walking do the door I notice a long PVC tube leaning against the door and I recognize the return address.

Oh boy and once I get it out, I am holding the most beautiful and petite bow I have ever seen.

I string it and give it a few pulls to exercise it a little. The grap my arrows and hit the back year.
It shoots better then it looks and that is saying a lot. My son was quick to say it was quieter then my old self bow.

but here is some pics of the handle area







and now the money shot



I will get some pics of the whole bow when I can get some better light. It has buff horn nocks, boo backing and osage belly.
Man  I will be hitting the woods in style with one heck of a bow.

Thanks roy I could not of asked for a better bow. Sorry all I got the best bow already, I know yall will get some good ones too.

Congrats Kelly!
Great looking bow Roy!
Adeeden, I love the look of your bow. Those skins really dress it up.
I sure hope I get my Urac tomorrow so I can do some gluing over the weekend.
Dave.

[red hill]

Congrats, Kelly. I guess it wouldn't be fair if I received the best bow two years in a row. LOL! But seriously I haven't seen a bow I wouldn't love to have yet!  

[adeeden]

Congrats Kelly and Roy!

[Pat B]

Congratulations Kelly. A well diserved bow for you my friend. Now I can't wait to see the deer you kill with this bow next year. Very nice, Roy...I guess!
 There are lots of cool bows showing up on peoples doorsteps lately.
