All right, let’s see how we do, shall we? A trade for anyone who thinks they don’t have enough experience to enter the main bow trade, currently run by Kidder.
We want anyone to have a go. The purpose of the trade is to have fun, learn lots and get involved.
Of the bows I own, one of my favourites is a hickory Trade bow built by a junior. Under 18s are welcome but, If you are under 18 I will need to chat with your parents/guardians via email. If you have less than a year membership on PA we will need to chat via PM or email. I am aware of a few people on PA I’d love to have in the trade who have less than a year so please don’t be shy!
Osage and yew are nice and all but hazel, maple, hickory and all sorts make great bows, even scotch broom. I’m told a pair of hickory axe handles will make a decent billet bow, so timber shouldn’t prevent you entering.
I propose closing sign up January 21st with the Trade running to early June. That way you get a month off before the main trade starts
Post here with “I’m in” and let’s have some fun
