Well time flies by.  Target shipping date is just over a month away. How y'all doing? Can everyone check in please.

Present!

I still have a little work to get the draw weight right, but time to start shooting it first and sanded all smooth.  I think I'm still good to hit our ship date.

[Wallski]

Hey Stinkinthemud, count me in on making the due date.
That’s and is a flap sander on one end and a drum on the other, it’s a must have for building bows.

Bend is a lot better, just need to evenly reduce them, has about 8lbs or so to loose still on the draw.  I did get the tips shaped today and was able to shoot it some today and over the weekend.  Seems to sling an arrow pretty good as is. 

This before I shaped the tips, but starting to be a much more even bend.

I have lost access to my workshop area over the summer-I had thought I would be back in business by now but still struggling to get set-up.  Y'all don't wait on me and if I get something together before I see you have started shipping I will chime back in...Paul

[Aaron1726]

I say just get it done and if you need a little more time, it's fine.  I don't think any of really need any more bows, lol, but it's just fun to build them.  So when you're ready we can ship.  At least that's my vote. 

[stuckinthemud]

I set the trade up around the  Lilo and Stitch (movie reference) principal of ohana -nobody gets left behind or forgotten - once all the bows are ready we ship together.

Just curious here. I make and give away a fair number of kids bows, so I am interested in the weight and other dimensions you all are working to.

Hey you all, I just finished my bow, so no pressure.   I really enjoy this build because it makes me build something I normally wouldn’t build for myself
, and it forces me to try something different.   The bow I received last year, really showed me what I was lacking, so I stepped up my game, not only for this build but, also for myself.
