I think I'd like to join also.

I like to shoot...

Right handed, shelf or knuckle
and ~60#@28".

This should be great.

I just had a brainwave.  Now I know that the spirit of this trade is to get people involved and create new friendships, but...

Why don't we have a vote when all the bows have been received, similar to BOM, but rather "Bow Of The Trade"?  Nothing like a little friendly competition to motivate everyone to do their best?  Maybe we could come up with some kind of prize?

What do you guys think?

cameroo, i personaly woundlt be interested in that
i dpnt enter BOM for the simple fact
i am to competitive and hate to loose
i am mature enogu to know this and to avoid competition because of it
if i loose it takes out all fun for me

so ifn ya'll want to do that,its fine by me
but i will say right now the bow i make will be discluded from the competition
dont meant to burst your bubble,but thats my opinion and feelings on such
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd

This is the updated list, let me know if something is wrong or needs changed and I will fix it. Also I put a GOOD at the end of your info if I have your address. If there is not a GOOD after your info I need you to pm it to me please so the person makeing your bow can ship it to you.

 Pat b announced:  Monday, February 28, 6:00pm will be the deadline to sign up for the bow trade. No one will be accepted after that time! Once all the names are in and all the info is correct the builder/reciepient will be pared up .Also July 4th, 2011 is the absolute last ship date!, You can ship your bow when you are satisfied it is finished and shot in well. We want to keep the reciepient suprizes good ones!, every bow shipped should be shootable on arival. A note enclosed with the bow you ship out will help you and your reciepient become more familiar with each other. Other pertainent info included should be the wood used, overall length(either n/n or t/t), draw weight and length. One of the main purposes of this trade is the personal reactions and knowledge we will all share and recieve and the friendships made and/or strengthened.Also, each bow sent out should be signed by the maker, to the reciepient and dated.   Some folks use "Sharpie" indelible pens for signing a bow. I prefer India ink. Be sure whatever you use is permanent and will not fade over time. Once the due date arrives and the names are all drawn and reciepients are sellected we will start a PA Trade Bow thread to follow the progress of the trade. Also please reffer to post #155 pg.11, #143 pg.10 if you havent read them yet.   

If anyone sees any thing that needs fixed with the list, let me know please. Also when you PM me your 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

That is fine.  I don't understand it, but I respect your opinion :)  Judging by the lack of response, I would guess that others feel the same, which is fine. I just thought it might make things a bit more interesting.  I don't get too upset when losing to friends :)

If there are other people interested, I might be willing to make an armguard for a small prize... ;)  If not, that's cool too.  I can't wait to start building!
