Bow build and swap (just keeping track of bows here)

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Let me know if you have shipped or if there is problems

 Thanks Kris July 4th
--------------------------------------------------
Okay here we go.

 The way we'll do this to insure everybody get's a bow they can shoot is assign a number to each entry. If you want in post here and at the end of two weeks from today 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 in a 5 or 10 pound range. (example.. 45-50 or 40-50) Also state whether you will be building a glass or wood bow for the trade.
ADDED (state right or left handed)

 #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 5 months and the bow you built should if anyway possible be shot in. We will ship out the bows the week after July 4th.

 #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.

 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

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Almost forgot,
 Bow must be signed and dated  

[Highlandwarrior]

I'm in,LEFTHANDED- 28" draw, anything over 50# up to 100#!!
I will be building a hickory bow, but it is lefthanded as I just started it for myself

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Yeah Highlandwarrior I never thought about righty's or lefties, to excited I guess. LOL
 
I won't know who your bow is going to until the names are drawn so I don't if it needs to be left or right. I assume it would be pretty easy to put a rest on the other side of about any wood bow like the one you are gonna do.

 I guess everybody needs to put left or right with their other info.
 
 And as far as me organizing this, no problem. But it was definetly not all me. I don't think it would come together as good as it is without all the input and advice from the Gang.
 So how about a big THANKS GANG!

[DVSHUNTER]

I'm  in for sure. I shoot 55-70@26 right off the knuckle or righthanded. I will be building an osage selfbow or a rawhide    backed osage. This is gonna be fun.

[Bert Frelink]

I am in,
I am right handed and shoot between 50# and 60# @28".
I will build a Bamboo backed bow for the swap.
Am really looking forward to doing this.
Thanks all.
Bert.  

[Highlandwarrior]

That would be fine except I put a riser block on it and cut the shelf already! Thats as far as I got before I stopped though, so I basically still have to make the bow.

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Highland I'm sure a few lefties will be along.
 If not your probably like me and need all the excuses you can get to start another bow LOL.
 It'll work out bud.
