 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thought I should mention again my stats:

27" draw length, love em in the 50-65# draw range. I also like Knives, arrows, speats, and other emplements of destruction. Anything that can go ballistic is a major pluss. I also like knappable material and any other raw materials I can make stuff from.

I don't reply on here much, but I thought that I would enter for this because I like to make things for others to enjoy and I thought that it would be fun.  I am right handed.  Have a 25" draw length.  The poundage would be between 30-45#.  I enjoy things that are made from the heart.  It seems that most people are to much into going to the store and buying something for someone instead of actually thinking about it and doing something from the heart.

Thanks

A hand made axe head would be a wonderful gift. Draw my name :)

Seriously, I think people do think if it is not factory made and purchased in a store, it is not valuable or worthy. This crowd knowns better, though. That is why I hang out here.

I remember some years ago my wifes family would get together at Christmas, everyone would bring a present then draw names and
first name drawn got to pick a present and so on. Well the wife's sister picked our present when she opened it she was disappointed and said thats not a real present!!!
We had packaged up a basket of homemade jams, pickles and stuff. At the time we were pretty poor and it was the best we could do, actually were still
pretty poor ;) Anyway that was the last time we participated in that little family tradition :o People are to caught up in the fancy crap from the stores and have forgotten how it used to be. Thats why I originally came up with this Christmas Trade deal and the most important thing is to give from the heart and don't get in it with any expectations about what you may receive. The best present is to make someone happy with the incredibly awesome gifts your all going to make and give away ;D ;D ;D

So remember be generous and give from the heart and put a smile on someones face eh :)

Merry Christmas eh y'all :)

can't miss this again.  count me in as well.  as it was stated before, anything coming from this bunch would be a wonderful gift.  my stats: 25"draw length, right handed, around 50#.  since archery, especially the primitive kind, is my main hobby (other than music) i would appreciate anything related.  and yes, i'm willing to ship overseas (don't have much of a choice, i guess  ;D)
