The bow trade time has come. If you are interested in participating, please be aware that the primary point of this trade is to build the BEST bow you have ever built for your recipient. It is about the giving of your talents and sharing the build with the community. It should hurt a little bit to send that bow in the mail. If you do not share this philosophy, then please do not sign up. If you do share this then, let's get building. The rules for the trade are listed below.

H. New this year-please communicate with me. I understand things happen that can keep you from building a bow (it happened to me last year). If this happens, the sooner you can let me know, the better. I can then reshuffle the trade and everything can work out.
I do plan to participate in the trade this year and I will also be building a reserve bow.
Let's make this a great trade.
Thank you.
Mike
