Would this be open to someone from out of country?  I'm not sure what it would cost or if there's any restrictions in shipping a bow from Canada to the U.S., or vice-versa.

Out of the U.S. is fine unless your Canadian >:D :P ;D

Oh, I'm sorry Nate.  You must be under the impression that your opinion matters!     :P   >:D

I just checked the Canada post website, and to send a bow-sized package to AZ for example (not that I would send you a bow Nate, even if I drew your name!  :-* ), was around $50.  I can handle that, as long as the recipient of my name feels the same.  If that's cool, I'm in!

I don't think we should specify backed or unbacked - I think we should just build what we like to build.

I have a 28" Draw, would prefer 50-60lbs., lefty, but don't need a shelf (but don't really care either way)

Glad my irony was able to translate over the web, that's not always easy ;) 

I'd be willing to ship out of the country.  That may be tough for some though so I suppose when submitting our draw length/weights etc we should specify whether we would be willing too.  They did that for the TG swap.

I just shipped 2 staves to Canada.  They cost $13 and $15 to send.  They weren't boxed up, just wrapped in brown tape.

Shipping a bow isn't that hard.  Just get two of the long tubes from the post office and tape them together in the middle.  Wrap the bow in bubble wrap and stick it in the tube.

After all the work that goes into a bow I'd be nervous to send it in anything other than a PVC pipe.

Right Ken... you've probably got so many that you're using them for firewood!

 Shipping to Canada is easy, just don't mention feathers or leather ;) If you ship to Europe they have shorter length restrictions than the US and Canada. You might have to cut the bow in half.

ElkTracker - I have a 28" Draw, would prefer a hunting weight bow (50-60lbs.), lefty, don't need a shelf, but doesn't matter either way.
