Fantastic work Turtle. Way to take your finish to another level.

Hey everyone. Sorry I have been quiet for a while, lol. Primitive Archer is now blocked at my office and I used to do all my posting on my lunch break. Anyway, I have had my trade bow done for about a month, I just needed to make it a new string and mail it out. All done...got it stringed and retouched the finish after putting 60 or so arrows through it.

I have my tube, but how do you all ship your bows in said tubes? The tips on my bow are narrow and I don't want it just jouncing around in the tube and resting on the tips whenever it is vertical. Can't wait for my guy to get it, and I hope he likes it. I am definitely sad to let it out of my house, lol.

If you use foam or even crumpled up news print it should be just five I like foam or even cardboard cut to the round of your tube then cut a hole for your bow and fit it in the hole.  That way the cardboard hits the side wall and not your bow.  I'll try to post some pics, that might be more helpful.  Re reading that didn't make much sense to me  ::)

I use pipe insulation. I make it about 3 inches too long on each limb so if overhangs the tip and bind it to the limb tight so if they drop the tube on the end the foam takes the force of impact. I also pack newspaper around the bow so it doesn't slide around in the tube.

Hey guys, been having family issues and just let time slip by. Still chugging along when time allows, and I am about to finish. Sorry for the poor photos

I use sponges masking-taped to anywhere the bow might contact the tube. I got a little paranoid with my trade bow and got some fiberglass and plastic, though. Feel kinda silly now :o

If you get paranoid about shipping the bow and hate the idea that it may be damaged in transit....then you did right by your recipient and by the spirit of the trade.

On the other hand, if your only out is if the shipper totally trashes or better yet loses the package...then maybe you need to stay out of the bow trades!   >:D

All of these bows are looking great.....as far as shipping goes, my last shipment i split one of those foam pool noodle things, slapped it around the bow and stuffed it in the pipe..fold over the end to protect the tips and your good to go...only cost a dollar at wally world...same idea as pipe insulation
