This is the updated list, let me know if something is wrong or needs changed and I will fix it. Also I put a GOOD at the end of your info if I have your address. If there is not a GOOD after your info I need you to pm it to me please so the person makeing your bow can ship it to you.

 Pat b announced:  Monday, February 28, 6:00pm will be the deadline to sign up for the bow trade. No one will be accepted after that time! Once all the names are in and all the info is correct the builder/reciepient will be pared up .Also July 4th, 2011 is the absolute last ship date!, You can ship your bow when you are satisfied it is finished and shot in well. We want to keep the reciepient suprizes good ones!, every bow shipped should be shootable on arival. A note enclosed with the bow you ship out will help you and your reciepient become more familiar with each other. Other pertainent info included should be the wood used, overall length(either n/n or t/t), draw weight and length. One of the main purposes of this trade is the personal reactions and knowledge we will all share and recieve and the friendships made and/or strengthened.Also, each bow sent out should be signed by the maker, to the reciepient and dated.   Some folks use "Sharpie" indelible pens for signing a bow. I prefer India ink. Be sure whatever you use is permanent and will not fade over time. Once the due date arrives and the names are all drawn and reciepients are sellected we will start a PA Trade Bow thread to follow the progress of the trade. Also please reffer to post #155 pg.11, #143 pg.10 if you havent read them yet.   

If anyone sees any thing that needs fixed with the list, let me know please. Also when you PM me your shipping address PLEASE do it like this so I dont have to go look and find your number and write your name, I can just copy and paste

Maybe we could make two 50# bows and duct tape them together.

Spacers gapping the bows apart slightly for pass-thru making it perfectly centershot....I'm starting to like this idea.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Fantastic! ;D I've been wondering if we were going to do this here and I'm glad to see it. As pat stated it really is a great tool to inspire us to do our best and push the knowledge boundaries. I was hesitating because of several other bows in the progress but I don't want to miss out on all the fun.

 Count me in. ,,,,,,,,,Right hand, 25" draw 50-60 lbs preferred,  US shipping only please

Pat, Rich and Josh, Thanks for getting this going. ;)

I have an idea, although I don't know how many people would be interested or even that it would work. How bout a stave trade? People trading native staves by them to others who don't have those trees? For example I'd love to have some yew or Osage, but none live by me and I have plenty of other woods. If it works sweet, if not, no hard feelings.

digi, thats what this is,more or less
only differance is,we are reducing them down to bow size and shape and function
it saves on shipping costs that way  ;D

Indeed :) This is going to be epic!  I hope that everyone shows pictures as they progress with their bows.

I don't really check in on PaleoPlanet very often, but how does this swap compare to their most recent one, in terms of # of people involved?

Yes, a 100+ lb bow is very modest for a 16 year old!

You might want to work up to that with a few lighter bows. Er what?  ;)  ;D
