2016 Primitive Archer Bow Trade Sign up and Information

[Fred Arnold]

Jeff, superb bow out of that yew. I'm sure he is thrilled and congratulations Mike. Enjoy that fine bow.

Mitch, your guy is going to be elated.

All of you deserve an applause for the effort you are putting forth.

Thank you for getting involved and making my job so easy and rewarding.

[mwosborn]

Thanks guys - hope my guy likes it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Ajooter - I could have just gone to 28" to make sure it wasn't going to snap - maybe I only needed 27" 

Jeff - it is hackberry - my favorite white wood.

Well said Fred.  You did a great job getting this going!

[TimothyR]

Nice Mitch. I hear hackberry makes a snappy bow.
Some really great looking bows on the table!

[Badly Bent]

You know what rich you are the ONLY one that said this was a lowly trade get the chip off your shoulder fer crying out loud

[DuBois]

Loope, I love that color fade! Never have been able to get that effect.

MW, man that is a beautiful bow. I'll keep watchin at my front door 

Seeing that yew of Jeff's go to Mike is a little easier looking at the other sweet bows still being made.

I'm off for 5 days after tonight so I am gonna get some time into it soon.

Hey Bubby,

Disclaimer: This is an answer to a personal comment and will not highkack this thread. It's my answer tyo a direct question and will not be re-answered.
     Whats up with gettin personal, eh?  All you A team guys are the ones who got all "exclusive" with your officially PA sponsored, selected trade thread. This trade thread has been "trolled" since it started so maybe I ought to set ya strait on a couple of items.

1. When you set yourselves above everybody else then dont be surprised when some folks dont like getting "talked down to".
2. Your trade is all about what you will get in return for your superior work...not passing it on.
3. A disclaimer on page one , and all the back-peddling in the world will not change what all of you did. "Perception is reality" and you cant hide the perception that you set yourselves above everybody else.
4. If there is any "chips on the shoulder" take a look in a mirror
5. All of you A team guys are all about saying anything to anybody anytime you want to....but now you cry foul when ya get called out for a real bad decision.

Lastly, if ya want to take this outside, then start a thread....I'll be happy to give you some truth....30 to 1 may not be fair odds so get yourself a few more guys, eh
rich

[bubby]

First off rich you started the A team crap, you started the B team crap and you are the one that keeps making personal digs!!!! You take everything as a personal attack . our trade isn't an "offically sponsered p.a. trade" just a bunch of us making a personal trade so YOU get your facts straight!! I'm done with this b.s.

[burchett.donald]

  Jeeesh guy's your going to put the A-team out of business with these beauties... Nice curves Stix and brilliant idea on the rawhide ajooter...I guarantee we will see some more burning on rawhide in the future...
                                                                                                                                        Don

   Bubby,
                           I'm the one that started the A-team, get YOUR facts straight...A lot of PA members here feel separated...What does the A stand for? 
                                                                                                                       Don
P.S. I won't respond further, said my part...

[Stixnstones]

wow Mitch, that is one sweet hackberry. whoever your guy is will be one lucky fella. Dube's that bendy looks awesome.

[ajooter]

Oh fellas cant we all just get along....i can see reasons on both sides why people may take offense...but in the end we are all here to pursue a hobby that we all love.  I understand with some of the happenings last year why the "invitational" guys did what they did.  I also can see how some of the "annual" trade guys may feel left out.

Lets everybody take the high rode swallow our pride and let it be.  Dont post this stuff on here anyway if ya want to have a pissing match do it in another thread.  It takes away from what we have going here.
