*Update* We have had a few out of country entries. I don't have an issue shipping out of country but if any one does send me a PM and I will take care of it. I shipped a bow to switzerland last year for around 45-50$ and figure it will should be roughly the same for anywhere else. If you have an issue with it just send me a PM.

This thread will run until January 13th NO SIGN UP'S AFTER THAT.
DEADLINE IS JULY THE 9TH
KellyG WILL BE GATHERING INFO (Thanks buddy!)so if you get a PM from him you know what's up.
READ ALL RULES BEFORE SIGNING UP
We are gonna do this the same as last year with a few changes.
#1 There will be a 30 day grace period after the final to be shipped date. Any bows not shipped by then and I will ask you to forward the bow you recieve to your recipient. I had one guy not come through last year and he is banned. Any bows not shipped by the deadline and I will ban you from any further trades.
The only way I will make any exceptions to this rule is if you contact me and let me know what is going on. I do understand things happen and I am willing to work with anyone should an emergency arise, But YOU HAVE TO KEEP COMMUNCATION OPEN AND STAY IN TOUCH WITH ME. No exeptions!
Okay here we go.
The way we'll do this to insure everybody get's a bow they can shoot is draw names. If you want in post here and at the end of sign up I will draw names and PM or email to the builder who your bow is going to and the specs desired.
#1 When you post that you are in also post your draw length and desired draw weight within a 5 or 10 pound range and right or lefthanded. (example.. 45-50 or 40-50) Also state whether you will be building a glass or wood bow for the trade.
#2 When you post pics during the build DO NOT state in any fashion whom your bow is going to.
#3 I have given this alot of thought and to keep it as honest as possible no one who has signed up to TradGang after the date of this post can enter. I hate to exclude anyone but have heard of it here in past trades that one guy or another did not get a return on his trade and DO NOT want that to happen.
#4 The time frame for the build will be about 6 months and the bow you built should if anyway possible be shot in. Bows need to finished and shipped by July 9th
#5 There was a few concerns about liabilty so I will throw in that any one who receives a bow in this trade is doing so at his/her own risk and in no way holds any one resposbible in any way should a misfortune occur due to use of such bow. #6 if you are building a glass bow and only want a glass bow in return or vice versa for wood bowyers please state this in the sign up, otherwise you may recieve a glass or wood bow. There we have it. I tried to keep it as simple as possible and keep everybody happy. So let the building and swapping commence.
Have fun! Kris

KellyG sent me a pm a whle back wanting to be involved but said he won't be able to build a bow so I will be contacting him at at the end of sign ups and he is gonna help me draw names and deliver info. I'm gonna make sure he get's my name in the list to draw from so this even I won't know who is building my bow. Kinda adds alot to the anticipation that everyone else had to deal with last year and I can be in that same boat. So it will a little more exciting for me this year.
Last years was great and we'll being doing it from here on out.
