We are like 3months past the deadline on a 6 month swap. We are closer to the 2016 sign up than the 2015 deadline lol.  

I dunno if that's funny or not, Bennny..

I could have used the bow earlier for recovery, but I'm back up to last year's bow now.  God willing I'm bringing home meat tomorrow.

I brought home mushrooms.  My wife's miniature Dachshund decided to hunt with me and chased every creature I sighted, including a NICE 13 point.  I nearly shot the dog.

Well I'm sure it wouldn't have been a trophy, but I bet dachshund is tasty. I'm obviously kidding. At least you got some time in the woods and saw some action!

There is something about that that just really chaps my a$$!

Critter that's how every one of these bow swaps goes, every one. My suggestion is to do two man swaps with people you want to build a bow for and want a bow from. I'll never touch another swap on any web site ever.

Yes it seems there is always a problem with a few folks. I can understand unforeseen problems arising. But then again, sometimes I can't understand the problem. So I don't join in anymore either, but I read the thread and pray everyone gets a bow.

I'm starting to feel this way too. I don't mind giving bows away for nothing, so it's not about that, but it also chaps my a$$ that people just bail, especially after receiving.

I might just go to one on one swaps as pearl said.

Starting to feel the same way too.  I can still build bows, though I'm not as handy as I was pre-stroke.  But I finished mine after the stroke and shipped-I have trouble understanding how anyone's issues (save illness or family deaths, those are different) would prevent them from finishing.

I'm just gonna save up and buy a bow.  I can't shoot thumb any more and my bows here aren't good in the cold.  If I get a swap bow it'll be a bonus.

This year was my first time doing a swap and I am leaning this way myself. If anyone is interested in a one on one swap I am up for it.
