SIGN UP WILL END ON FEB 1ST
(UNLESS WE DECIDE MORE TIME IS NEEDED FOR A BIGGER TURN OUT)
RULE 1
you need to have at lease 200 post to be eligible to sign up, there is one exception: if you have been making proven and safe bows for awhile and you can get an active and known member of this site to vouch for you
Rule 2
if i(BOWMAN53) or JWHalverson do not know who you are we will contact you to learn more about you. we will also ask mods/admins for their opinions. please dont be offended if we ask for more info on you, there are hundreds of members on here and we dont know all of you.
Rule 3
if you are under 18 you must get your parents permission and we must speak with them on the phone.
Rule 4
if for some reason you can not make a bow to ship, you must let us know. we will have the person making your bow send it to your recipient instead of to you. if you receive a bow and can not make one to ship you will be required to send the bow you received in its place. your recip should not have to suffer because you can't hold up your end of the deal. if you fail to make a bow and do not have a legitimate reason for why then you will be added to Mullets black book and banned from future trades (DUN DUN DUN!!!)
Rule 5
the trade is open internationally but if we cant find someone to ship to you then you can either opt out or choose to send a bow and not receive. sorry if this sounds unfair but $100 plus to ship a bow over seas is alot of money.
Rule 6
we will check in with everyone at random through out the process to make sure everyone is on track. we will first contact you by pm, if you do not reply in a week then we will try calling you, if you do not call us back in a week then we will tell your "gifter" to stop building your bow until you contact us.
Rule 7
to sign up you need to send me alll of the information as follows, your legal name, address you want the bow to be delivered to, general bow specs, whether you are a righty or lefty(wrong handed), and where you are comfortable shipping to. i also want a phone number so we may contact you if needed(this is for me and jw only, no one else will see this). all of this information is private and will not be given out to anyone except the person who is making a bow for you.
example.

I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD PLEASE USE THE FORMAT I USED ABOVE WHEN YOU PM ME, IT MAKES IT EASIER TO COPY AND PASTE.
research your recipient and see what their preferences are, if you dont feel comfortable making something that they favor then just make the absolute best bow you are comfortable making. please do not procrastinate, you have a long time to build but dont let that time fool you, it goes by fast.
you will have until Aug,15 to ship your bow out and you can ship as soon as your done if you like.
if you have any questions please ask them here and we will answer them as soon as possible, we will be watching this post closely.
so with all that said, lets get this thing rolling.
list so far.
