Im still spinning tires with a no show or two. Please let me know if you don't have a bow and have no communication with your builder.
P.S.
Please help me keep this up top.
-
Yeah, seriously. It's one thing to not deliver, it's another to not own up to it. As someone who plans on being in the next bow trade, the fact that this is still an issue makes me cautious-- though only a little, I know most of you are cool ;)

75 out of 78 isn't too bad huisme. I wouldn't let that discourage your entering. Keep in mind there is a "list" kept from each swap. Eventually you weed out folks that don't take it seriously. The more you do that the lesser the odds of no shows. I can tell you for free I wont facilitate again, its too frustrating for my personality to be "played" as I have by a few folks. I have a hard time holding my tongue.

lol xmas trade is only 50 some people and its definitely alot of work to keep up with. i hope no one flakes out this year.
-
Oh wow, that really isn't all that bad. Didn't know about the list either.
That's reassuring!
Applause for your superhuman patience and composure. I would have become unpredictable and unreliable in your situation.
-
Yeah please name the people so none of us get done wrong .... im generous and enjoy making bows enough that of someone was broke and needed one i would gladly give one to someone if they asked ... but to just steal one with a hollow promise of a trade . In the wild west you get shot for less .

Im just about done with the "make up" bow... Sick family, a wedding, and a funerel slowed me down abit but the end is in sight ;)... Brian

i havent recieved mine yet but have been told that it is not to far from being finished.

I'm still looking for a Trade Bow.
But I know you know P.D. ... :)
Even with the current Flakes taken into consideration, I will be happy to be a part of the 2014 Bow Trade.
The Primitive Archer Family of Folks is the best around.
Period.

If it makes everyone feel better, the five people that didn't send a bow last year but recieved one aren't on this site since the trade. And, per PA policy, no posting the names of the Ripoff's on the site.
-
I understand ??? your policy of not posting the names of the dead beats on this site but would surely hope that you pass the names of those that didn't follow through on to the moderators of our brother sites >:D
-
People talk from site to site Fred, don't you sweat it buddy.
My purpose isn't to drag anybody through the mud. I just want this wrapped up now that we are a month and a half past the deadline. There are folks who had hoped to hunt with a new swap bow that are still waiting. I try to stay in contact with both parties when I can. It seems the person waiting to get a bow is much, much easier to contact. Weird......

Recently I asked on another bow forum why they haven't done a bow-trade since 2008? The answer was that it drove the person in charge crazy over the number of guys who don't come through. I always enjoyed bow trades and was never duped myself, but have seen the effects it has on others. I don't think the majority of those who don't come through is out of evil intent, it is more that they write checks with their mouths that their hands can't cash. They simply procrastinate or think their bow isn't good enough to send. I've loved every bow I ever received no matter the style or skill level.

For any of those concerned or want to know, I am planning on running the show again next year....i actually enjoyed it because the positives outweighed the negatives by the tons :D ..a lot of times its so easy to forget all the good that happened by one tiny nuisance....
Love to have ta aboard next year thimo...it'll be starting up the end of January next year ;)
Oh..and I have "lists" ;)
-
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:PD I don't sweat much on anything anymore, but by yours and blackhawk's responses I had to laugh. It so much reminds me of our government officials sitting over a conference table trying to figure out which of the privelidge citizenry is on the "need to know" basis.

Trust me Tim, he is right.....you don't want one, unless you need something to hold your bow rack down!
