Let me know if you have shipped or if there is problems

Thanks Kris July 4th
--------------------------------------------------
Okay here we go.

The way we'll do this to insure everybody get's a bow they can shoot is assign a number to each entry. If you want in post here and at the end of two weeks from today I will draw names and PM or email to the builder who your bow is going to and the specs desired.

#1 When you post that you are in also post your draw length and desired draw weight in a 5 or 10 pound range. (example.. 45-50 or 40-50) Also state whether you will be building a glass or wood bow for the trade.
ADDED (state right or left handed)

#2 When you post pics during the build DO NOT state in any fashion whom your bow is going to.

#3 I have given this alot of thought and to keep it as honest as possible no one who has signed up to TradGang after the date of this post can enter. I hate to exclude anyone but have heard of it here in past trades that one guy or another did not get a return on his trade and DO NOT want that to happen.  

#4 The time frame for the build will be 5 months and the bow you built should if anyway possible be shot in. We will ship out the bows the week after July 4th.

#5 There was a few concerns about liabilty so I will throw in that any one who receives a bow in this trade is doing so at his/her own risk and in no way holds any one resposbible in any way should a misfortune occur due to use of such bow.

There we have it. I tried to keep it as simple as possible and keep everybody happy. So let the building and swapping commence.

Have fun! Kris

Thanks for doing this, Kris.

I shoot anything from 45 to 55lbs at 28 inches. I like my bows to be 62 inches long.I'm not sure what kind of bow I'll build. I can do a selfbow or a glass laminated bow.   :archer:

Highlandwarrior

I'm in,LEFTHANDED- 28" draw, anything over 50# up to 100#!!
I will be building a hickory bow, but it is lefthanded as I just started it for myself

Stiks-n-Strings

Yeah Highlandwarrior I never thought about righty's or lefties, to excited I guess. LOL

I won't know who your bow is going to until the names are drawn so I don't if it needs to be left or right. I assume it would be pretty easy to put a rest on the other side of about any wood bow like the one you are gonna do.

I guess everybody needs to put left or right with their other info.

And as far as me organizing this, no problem. But it was definetly not all me. I don't think it would come together as good as it is without all the input and advice from the Gang.
So how about a big THANKS GANG!

I will build a Bamboo backed bow for the swap.
Am really looking forward to doing this.
Thanks all.

Highlandwarrior

That would be fine except I put a riser block on it and cut the shelf already! Thats as far as I got before I stopped though, so I basically still have to make the bow.

Stiks-n-Strings

Highland I'm sure a few lefties will be along.
If not your probably like me and need all the excuses you can get to start another bow LOL.
It'll work out bud.
