Anything that is legit on PA is legit in the trade. It is a good idea for all to give their specific info but we will start another thread for that. This thread is to see who's in and to put our heads together to figure out what's good and what's not. Memorial day should be enough time for me too. If we need to go longer we can but not less.
The way we did it on TradGang was everyone put down their draw length and draw weight, left or right handed, shelf or off the hand, glass or wood(not an option here but we could do self or backed) or we could do it just bow for bow, whatever I make for whatever you make. These are all just suggestions so everyone should speak up if you have something to add or subtract.
One person needs to collect all the names, number each as they come in and numbers will be drawn from a hat and assigned to the person at the top of the list as the names came in and on down.
Another thing we ran into last year was folks running into difficulties with life or whatever and not being able to finish a bow. One guy I know broke 3 in a row before getting one to send out. He was late getting it done but he came through none the less. One other guy recieved a bow but vanished off the face of the earth without building and sending out his bow. Things like this happen. It turned out that another guy,
that was not even in the trade offered to build a bow for the guy that lost out. I think this bow was recently posted here on PA. If you think for some reason that you are not going to be able to conplete your bow, please contact whomever is running the trade and other arrangements can take place. At least you can send the bow you recieved to whomever you were supposed to send the trade bow to.
One other thing, lets keep it a secret as to whom you drew. We can and should post pics as we go along, describing our bows and any interesting things that come up but please keep it quiet as to who we are building for and keep the tell tale specifics out of it until the end. When you are ready to send your bow out to the reciepient you can send him(or her) an e-mail or PM letting them know to be on the lookout for a package. I'd hate to see someones bow laying unseen in a bush because of whatever reason.
It is a lot better to get all of this out in the open before we get started. There will probably still be some other issues but we will try to take care of them as they arise.
