I swapped a Canyon Archery Traditions RD longbow to bow loving man for a Steve Turay Northern Mist Shelton. Gotta say I hated seeing the CAT go, but after shooting this Shelton, I think we're both very pleased with the deal. I'm partial to Hill styles and Barry is partial to bodork's bows (RD). Both are really nice bows.
The swap was seamless.
Have you swapped bows with a fellow tradganger?
Tell us how pleased you are with your swap...
I have swapped, bought, and sold many things on Tradgang. To this point every deal has been flawless, I appreciate all the good people that I have delt with. Thanks to all.

I traded a Kanati for a dryad Orion. I am more than pleased with the trade. Think I want to try out a set of their recurve limbs now!

Traded a biocomposite Scythian bow for a Big River Hill, we're both happy. In the process of trading a vintage Bear static-tip Kodiak for a Great Northern Traditional longbow. I'm beginning to think trading is the best way to go.
I traded a Super Shrew Gold for an original Vortex longbow... One of the best moves I've made yet! What good is a bow hung on the wall that's too heavy to draw and shoot all day?... Both of us are very happy!

Bought, sold, traded a bunch on here, never had a bad experience.
Years ago, I traded a Martin Hatfield for a Bear Patriot with a member here. Great trade and all went super easy.
Beyond pleased, Bud! And if I had to confess to the number of bow swaps I've made here...well lets just say it would be a long thread! But let me affirm that this swap was seamless and pleasing as have been the many I have been involved in with various other Tradgang members!
I have also bought, sold, and traded many times on Tradgang and have had great experiences. The main thing is communication. Both parties need to talk about what is expected up front and communicate while the transaction is occurring.
Like I said Barry....I got dibs on the CAT if you ever release her from your herd. ;)
I shot the Shelton before leaving for work this AM. She's loving 52# woodies.
I traded a rifle to a member for a Wes Wallace recurve recently. Not only is he a member but a friend too and since we live close it was done in person. We are both pleased.
All of my Hill bows are swap bows but one.Never been wronged by a fellow tradganger, that's why this site is so great.Great honest people................
I have swapped several times here on TG, only one did I wish I had my bow back and that had nothing to do with the actual swap I just missed that bow later. It's a good way to try other bows with minimal expense and I have enjoyed getting to know some nice TG'ers that way too.
Yes so far so good!
I have done a lot of trading on this site. I have been very fortunate to make some new friends thru deals made here. We are blessed to have such an honorable following here :)

Yep. Me too.
i have traded a couple and sold a few and have always been satisfied with the deals. post office is another issue.
I've traded, bought, and sold many times on tradgang. Every deal has gone flawlessly and I have yet to be disappointed with anyone on this site. You would be hard pressed to find a better group of people than those on tradgang!!!!!
Thanks to all!

I've done a lot of trading as well - some of it direct trades and some of it rather convoluted 3-way trades. I never felt like I came out on the short end of a deal and I don't think the trading partners did either.
I'm still looking for the magic silver bullet, but think maybe it's time to quit once I get my RER LXR the end of Jan 2014.
I'll need to sell a couple at that point and then it might just be time to learn to shoot what I have :)
Many deals here and never a problem.
All my buying, selling and trading deals here have been great.
Yes I have. And have been fortunate to make a few good friends through those deals.
Just did one this month. Went smooth as silk, and I love the bow I ended up with. Good communication on both our parts.
Yes I have made many trades, most went very smooth, I have had two that the packaging left much to be desired.
Yes I have. And have been fortunate to make a few good friends through those deals.
I will probably get yelled at for this but it sure seems like a lot of flawless transaction comments, so why do we have to pay to even see the classifieds. Ridiculous if you ask me.

I never used the classifieds on this trade. I knew he had the Shelton and he knew I had the CAT. Through reading many other threads I got the sense he might not like Hill styles and planted a seed that if he ever wanted to part with the Shelton I knew of a bow he might want in trade. It's more about getting to know one another than simply swapping bows through a classifieds advertisement. That's more than a price tag can buy. That's what tradgang is about. Not classifieds ads.
I do appreciate the comment about packaging a bow well. bow loving man had his in a nice very thick and rigid cardboard tube with lots of internal padding. And the PO didn't muff it up in either direction.
Yup swapped half a dozen times, good stuff
Yes trad archers are a good bunch. Bought,sold and traded bows on trad gang and also the other trad archery sites and never had a problem or regrets always a fair deal. Just wish more people would take Paypal.
I have swapped over a dozen bows here. everybody is happy best I can tell.RC
I had a fellow ask me if I could do paypal once. It could have been the thunderstorm, but I did not trust my computor to run well enough, it kept crashing and finally would not restart. I am pretty certain that the broken communications upset him. I do have a nice old recurve that I need to turn into a left hand bow. I gave away two really nice bows already this year and my wife says it is time to slow me down a bit, I bet she would not mind a trade.
many trades bought and sold all good Tradgang is awesome.
