If you have shipped, please go to page one of this thread and double check that your name shows your current status!

If your status is not up to date, drop a line to me or to BOWMAN53 and we can update the list.  Thanks!

 :( Well after bow #3 was tillered out and about 50 arrows through it I've made a decision to send out bow #2. 3 shoots good enough  and actually draws smooth out to 26" and around 55#'s but a small deflex area just above the fade has me concerned as it looks to have a slight hinge in that spot.

Number 2 is a great little bow although it came in close to the bottom of the scale of my recipients specs I'm hoping he'll be satisfied. So I'll get tip overlays added, a handle wrap and rest installed, a few more coats of tru-oil and plan on shipping 1st of next week.

Here's a photo of 3 at 24" on the tree.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

bow wrapped in pool noodle: check
shove it all inside pvc with endcaps: check
tape ends and wrap in paper bags: check
place a little letter to the poor soul inside: check
place the string inside the pvc tube: ... oh crap!

So instead of shipping today I guess it will be going out tomorrow. stupid mistake number 99

Two weeks to go.  Time for a gut check for everyone that has not shipped yet. 

Take a good look at your calendar and x out the days you work, the nights you have Odd Fellows Lodge meetings, the times you have to help a buddy move a body, or what have you.  Is there enough open time left for you to finish your bow properly?  Or is it going to be a rush job and you send off just whatever you got???

This time around, we have several people that have finished or near finished products sitting ready to ship.  If you are not going to make that deadline, do the stand up thing and let us know so we can settle this quick.
