Am a bit daunted to be in company with some of the best bow builders on the planet!time to put on my big boy panties!no guts no golry!specical thanks to the organizing team and alll who share my passion

I'm excited about the trade.  Even if I draw someone like James Parker or any number of other highly skilled bowyers in this I feel they will appreciate the effort I put into thier bow.  Just think, what other  hobby, craft, art form, profession or whatever could you potentially put your work in the hands of a master of that craft.  It's amasing to think about it really.  And in the fellowship of this community there is absolutely no pressure, only that which we put on ourselves.

Weylin I think Dave(hedgeapple) covered it pretty well...also to add to that is everyone's draw length will vary within two inches at the least because of different bow types. You take a long deep stiff handled bow and shoot it next to a short thin bend in the handle bow and your draw length will easily shrink two inches without a doubt. And most people don't actually draw what they say they do. Its really not that important and a hard "rule" that must be followed...there's no problem stating an actual specific number....but if you state a specific number how do you know that person is basing it off of a long stiff handled bow or a short bendy? And that's where doing your homework comes in and find out what the person likes and dislikes....that's part of the fun is doing the recon work about who your building a bow for.

I think bows should be made to a specific draw length unless otherwise authorized by the recipient. Draw weight can vary within the range.

the boys are just trying to get us to look into the person we draw so we get a little more acquainted with each other rather than just making a bow for someone three states away !
