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.

 :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.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

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.

New participants, please take note that these people were not booted and banned.  Their shame makes it impossible for them to partake in polite society.

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