Michael, I'm in the same boat as you but this is where some of that patience we learn as bow builders comes in handy.  ;)   You do remember lesson #1 in the New Bowyer 101 class; Patience!  ;D

 :) yeah Pat I know I'm just poking fun. Whoever has mine feel free to take your time. I would rather have a fast shooter come to me slow than a slow shooter come to me fast  ;D

I'm still working on mine. I've had the worst luck, had my 3rd bow blow up on me 4th of July weekend. My fourth attempt is coming along nicely and I should have it finished up this week for shipping. I think I was trying to push the limits with my first few so I played it safer on this one with regards to length and width of the limbs.

About 50% done with mine.  I will ship it soon!  Just need to make the string and do final tillering and finishing.

OK so I see a resounding theme. There are some that are having trouble meeting the deadline. I had trouble meeting it too. I had One come in light and two that eventually failed during shoot in. I had it mostly done by deadline but had a few touch ups and a couple hundred arrows to put thru it before I felt good about sending it. So I called Clint on the 3 rd of July and let him know i was running behind but would be done in a week. It took me two. He was ok with it.
  I had many things been going on in life and things tend to get in the  way. So don' t give up. Just call your guy like I did and let him know your still comin and he will be ok with it.  Danny

I just figure the people waiting get some free patients tokens to redeem >:D O:) >:D I think most of the guys on here sort of understand when we do these trades a few of us end up waiting. some of us just need reminding, sometimes, that waiting builds character.

I did the same Sidewinder, sent my recipient a message to let him know I was working on it and not to worry that someone forgot to make it. I had my 2nd bow blow up during final tillering 3 days before the deadline. Then I've had another one blow up since then. I was glad he was ok with it being late, he said it was no issue. Took some pressure of me, which is why I think my 3rd one blew up because I was trying to rush the bow up to tiller. So now I'm taking my time and doing it correctly and barring any setbacks should ship out soon. Should be able to bring to final tiller tonight or tomorrow night, final sanding and finishing and shoot in this weekend hopefully.

I was glad to get the call about my bow running late.  I knew that I wasn't forgotten, and I didn't have the daily dissapointment when the mailwoman didn't drop off a long tube.  And, the bow was well worth the wait ;D
