Title: Need Two Kid's Bows
Post by: johnston on June 02, 2013, 12:49:41 pm

Friend of mine has two boys, one eight and the other ten. Both want "real" bows in the worst way.
My honey-do's have caught up with me and as my shop is small I had to store all my bow making stuff.
Anybody out there willing to help? Ain't got much to trade but maybe we can arrange something. I will
cover all shipping of course. By the way, both of these kids are real hunters.Sure would hate to see
them with training wheels like their dad.
Thanks,
Lane

Lane, I'd sure like to help if I can.  It would be a while though as I'm pretty well swamped right now.  What kinda bows are you thinking?  If it's simple d-bows I could probably get em done sooner.  Full cut in shelf with contoured handles would take me quite a while to get done though.  Let me know if I can help.  Josh

Draw length/poundage would be good to know. If they are around 22" I could knock at least one out in a few weeks.

I have 2 sister elm staves... elm is tension strong, good for kid-bows.

Many thanks to all who have replied and sent pm's. The bows are already in the kid's hands
and smiles are on their faces.

I do not know how to edit my post as "done" so if anyone can do that I would appreciate it.

Again, thanks guys.
