I am in and have started mine too. Not much else to do when it is -20 outside.  All I need is my victim so I can know draw length and weight.

You will get much greater reward taking a new bow and giving it to somebody closer to you. Maybe a co-worker, a store owner, a friend, family, fellow parishioner, anything. Give it to somebody you know personally and will use it and appreciate it. After all, its all about giving.........right? Why give a bow to somebody that can make their own already? Surprise somebody.

For some it may be a better way to do it like you say. I guess it depends on why we are in it.  Me, the surprise is fun of what im getting. Kinda simple thinking it its true. The other thing is it is an excuse for me to make a bow, more specifically, to someone's exact stats and work a piece with that goal in mind. I enjoy the challenge. I also like seeing how others have done the same challenge to my stats. Not to mention i dont ever keep any of my nice bows around that I make, selling them helps pay bills for me. Having a nice bow from someone else is a nice feeling. I am a very very proud ownder of one of J05hs' bows and would likely never own it if not for the trade. No to mention i got to meet him and he is a swell guy.  The bow trade isnt just about the bow..... For me anyway.

Well,, Ryan, "Wizard goat", PM'd me about the 2016 trade. I think it might be in the works, and "invitational".

Is it each person who is invited invites someone they trust?

I'd like to get in on a trade this year. I'm finally confident enough in my work to send it off to someone.

How exactly would an invitational bow trade work?  I would be honored if included, and not at all offended if not.  I do hope to see lots and lots of pictures.  I like to see other people's work.

Jeff you would be invited, that's sure. Its simple. Eddie, just for example, would run his swap. He would talk around and look around and invite guys that can make a bow and have balls enough to follow through on their obligation, NO EXCUSES. For example: "Paulsemp" falls at work and breaks his leg in two places, its bad. Guess what? You WILL have a bow from him, it will be new and it will be from his hands and on-time. Pretty easy really, but every year both rules get blown up.

Names are "put in a hat" and drawn out. You get who you get.

For an invite trade, I would participate, if I get honored with an invite.  If not, no hard feelings.  I'll still love you guys.

Last year I was thinking of participating this year but that was before things blew up.  Now I'm not so sure
