2026 Bow Swap Progress Thread - Closed

Guster · May 21, 2026, 09:34:12 PM

The "Logbow" as this bow has been so lovingly named after its propensity to look more like a log on ground than a curvy bow, is cured. After these glamour shots were taken the bow is safe and sound inside a length of pipe ready to be dropped off tomorrow to be sent to my victim.

Tonight I was able to get my sight window cut in. I will be cranking away in the shop most of the day tomorrow!

Nice job, guys. Thank you! Go ahead and ship them as you are ready.

Those are some pretty unique looking tip notches...

Received my bow today! It looks great!! I have been very interested in D shapes lately so Im excited to try it and get my full draw picture. I was only briefly able to look at it before we had to run off to baseball after work.

Kirkll · May 28, 2026, 08:07:34 PM

So where are all the full draw photos of these swap bows?

dbeaver · May 29, 2026, 06:57:52 AM

Only 3 participants this year kirk and 2 of us are not finished. So even when we are all done there wont be 'all of these" full draw photos lol.

Had a set back last night but plan on getting back to working on the bow this weekend.

It was tricky getting all of a bow this long in frame

Kirkll · May 30, 2026, 03:20:48 PM

Nice!

dbeaver · June 02, 2026, 05:04:44 PM

I have made necessary corrections to account for my setback and its finishing sanding and clear coat

EvilDogBeast · June 05, 2026, 05:40:59 PM

How are things going, gentlemen?

dbeaver · June 06, 2026, 02:08:28 PM

Clear coat is in this weeks shuffle, will absolutely get it out before the end of the very appreciated grace period.
