Deerhunter, i think a bunch of us should come over to your house some saturday and help you get some bows on the rack.  We'll bring the gumbo and potato salad, you have the beer cold.  piper

4 selfbows, two were gifts, one BBI , and at this point 17 either going somewhere, or for inventory. 2 which are "prototypes' which have shown promise, and I'll post some pics soon when I can get the kid to help me.

Piper, I keep seven to shoot and mess with. Seven is a lucky number,also spread your extra bows around so other folks can have fun with 'em! You made them to shoot and if you're not shooting them thats a cryin' shame :'( :'(   dismount

I have 5 self bows at the moment, just gave one away this last weekend. 1 Bear Super Kodiak and lots of bows in the works........I also have a pile of them in the corner from when i first started, many waiting to be turned into kids bows or takedowns.

1 compound. 3 Bear and 2 Pearson recurves, 8 bows that I have made, 5 bows in various stages of completion, and enough staves and laminate to make another 30. Which reminds me I need to get out and harvest a couple more staves just in case I run low.

Oh geez, probably 5 or 6 dozen bows, another 2 or 3 dozen in various stages of completion, and a gross of staves.  Plus enough arrows and shafts to recreate Agincourt.   ;)  What can I say?  I just enjoy building this stuff.

As of last week, I had about 30 or so, then I had to get rid of some.
Now I have somewhere around 20.
