4th of July sounds good to me.  Should allow plenty of time to get used to it before deer season should you want to hunt with it.  As for my stats, lefty, 28", 50# and up (if somebody just has a hankering to build a really big bow I'll be the guinnea pig), and no preference on shelf or not.  Hot dang this is going to be fun.

Elk, 26-36 was in jest, meaning I'd be happy with whatever I receive.....but in reality, 29" 45-55#, as for the rest, I'd love to see whatever the builder has in store for me.

When is the deadline for sigh up? I need to finish up a few projects before I can take on another bow. I don't want to sign up and not finish in time.

Pat- The one guy that got shafted in the bow swap on TradGang was BaldingKansan ( Tlyer Holden ) I was in that swap, you just didn't notice me.  ;) Ten different people spoke up and offered to make Tyler a bow, I just got luckey and he picked me. I'm pretty sure he doesn't post here. The bow you are thinking of I think is my last one. I posted it in both forums. This is Balding's swap bow.




Oh what the hell... Put me in! I'll make it.
Right handed, shelf or no shelf doesn't matter to me. I'll shoot anything but 40-80 is best. I'll most likely make a selfbow from one wood or another.

How about the end of this month (February) as cutoff for signing up? This give time for the word to get out.

Then stretch the finish date to the 4th of July. (Gives me time to work on JW  >:D).

Another question is, shipping early OK? or do we want to kind of time it so everyone gets theirs about the same time?

This looks like fun.  I'd like to participate.  As for me, right handed, either way on a shelf, 28" 55# give or take.  Great idea to start this one up.  ;D

If anyone sees any thing that needs fixed let me know. Also when you PM me you shipping address PLEASE do it like this so I dont have to go look and find your number and write your name, I can just copy and paste

I talked to Marie(Calendergirl) about pulling names out of the hat and she said sure. So now everyone's build will be a secret until the end.  ;D
