Congrats to ya Kyle!
I'm wanting to see some pics.

I'm also curious where that bow Dakota Kid made is now??

How many reserves are we up to now? I'll get some pics up as soon as I can. I've been crazy busy compared to normal. I should get them up while waiting at the eye doctor waiting room.

Hey Stuck, your mailbox is full.

Kyle, how is the eye situation?

I’m interested in the reserves and drawing but I don’t have anything to pitch in right now.... how does it work? Do I need to donate another bow to be eligible?

[stuckinthemud]

OK, so I envisaged this as a way of getting a little extra from the Trade - lots of us built two or three bows (or more) over the Summer - and the Reserves will have built Trade bows with no-one to send them to - so, this is a completely random draw, everyone is right-handed, everyone is a similar draw weight, so all the bows built with the Trade in mind will suit everyone involved.  My only caveat is that if I draw you the same victim as you had in the main Trade, I will re-draw you, and, if you can't ship US to Canada (or vice-versa) you'll need to let me know; you do have to enter a bow to be eligible, but, having seen Greenriver's work I am sure his victim would have no problem with him entering an intention to build and ship.

So far, three of y'all have messaged me to say you might be interested.

I have cleared some space in my inbox

Revision - if someone wants to enter the random draw and has a spec outside the average - draw weight/hand/draw length - I have capacity to accommodate them, also, if you have a bow you are nearly finished building I don't see a problem entering

The eyes healing. Just had a checkup today, I've got two more laser surgeries and a new contact fitting. The first laser surgery isn't until the beginning of the year. To remove some scar tissue and clear up the picture a bit more.
I've gotta get a hand drawn picture of the bow I'll be putting in. I put up a tiller tree full draw a while ago. It's on the higher end of the draw weight pulling 65# at 27", shoots well though.

Pat is nearly done, just fine tuning for weight.  I've seen the bow at brace, and you know what, y'all gonna have to beg real hard before I post that picture cos the bow is SWEEET !

[stuckinthemud]

My better half just announced she's booked a family holiday leaving Wednesday first thing, returning Sunday night, so I won't be able to draw randoms until Monday next week, apologies for the delay, but I guess it gives you an extra few days to think about entering

[Mo_coon-catcher]

Sorry it took a few days to post pictures. I'm horrible about delegating time to do that.
