Im on the fence too but i am leaning torwards going for it. Enough to have already started. It really depends on who else joins in.

Screw it, if i get the invite i will be in.

I would like to be a part of this again, but watching last years events unravel ..., I wish there was a way to make sure all obligations are filled in a timely fashion- Hammertime

I'm still waiting to here back from Ryan. The way I'm seeing it is anybody in the past that has been slow sending a bow, or didn't send one at all after receiving one or by their posts have very little experience, unless good references from someone I know and trust, would not get an invitation. But, like I said, I'm waiting to here back from Ryan to see what his ideas are.

Well last year I think some people joined that shouldn't have. It was what it was. But I don't think we should let it ruin the spirit of the trade

I told Ryan I'd help, whether it's called the Bow Trade 2016 and run by someone else or the Invitational Trade and run by Ryan is up to him and the rest of you guys.

Im back from our get away, Aarons right, our last little vacation before Jr arrives  :D
The "invitational" idea was brought up for a few reasons, the main one, to be brutally honest, to weed out the slackers, and those who are probably not ready yet.
Of course, the spirit of the trade is to make the best bow you can for someone, and most of all, to have fun.
Really, that should go without saying. An entry shouldnt need motivation or need to promise to make the best bow they can.
They should already be a hot blooded bowyer who can make great/amazing bows.
The idea was that if you are invited, you can in turn invite someone else, (or more)
This isnt meant to exclude new guys, heck, Im a new guy!
Id love to see some interest from some of PA regulars, whose view of the trade has been tainted from previous years.
None of this is set in stone, and still open for suggestions.
If im going to head it with the Mullet, invitational is the only way Id do it.
If someone else was game to run it the way its been run in the past, than thats great too  :)
