Stick-N-Strings Wins September/October Self Bows!

Congratulations to "Stick-N-Strings" from Petersburg, IN for winning October/November Self BOM Contest!

Stick-N-Strings First little paddle bow

From Stick-N-Strings: "I love this short draw shooting! Didn't think I would at first but I liked the looks of these little bows so much I had to give it a whirl. 47.5" tip to tip 46" ntn. Mocassin backed Yew. 51# at 23". I built me a few stone head arrows and a few trade points to hunt with and I'm hoping she'll make some meat this fall."

Muy bonito arco!!  Here are some comments from forum members!
"barefootbowhunter- wow! that is a beautiful paddle bow, very very impressive. when i think of a perfect bow for hunting blacktails thats what i think of
4est Trekker- That's just great!  Excellent profile, tiller, and finish work, Kris!   
Del the cat- Yeah, I gotta try a shortie some time. Grat looking bow.

blackhawk- Sweet lil meat making rig ....good luck with her....I always like a good shorty.
johnston- I have blown up every short bow attempted over 30#. Every time I get the lust cooled off another poster quality bow comes along. It is hunting season and ain't got time for this but mercy me that is sweet! Lane
Gus- Yes Sir, That is one fine looking little bow. Never knew Cotton Mouth skins could look so good...  -gus
Keenan- Kris that thing came out awesome. Love them little short bows, Yew did that one justice, very nice work Bro, now get out there and shoot something. That makes me even happier for YEW!!! LOL. Keenan
Elktracker- beautiful! Josh
MWirwicki- Nice looking shorty!  For some reason, I don't think of using yew wood.  I happen to have a piece that would be perfect for it.  Thanks for the inspiration! Matt
Pat B- Cool little bow Kris. I love those moccosin skins.  I guess you finally figured out when to stop? Pat B"

Well done Kris. I have a similar stave from Keenan and now I have something to shoot for.  ;) That full draw pic says it all!  8)
  I'm sure glad your luck has changed. Looking at this finished bow with that full draw pic tells me all those other attempts were bad staves! .  ::)  Very nice bow, Kris and a well diserved win!  8)

I really don't know what to say, still kinda shocked that I won  ;D

 Thanks for all the compliments. Still trying to find time to make meat with this little dude. Maybe this evening. I put some game cams up behind the house and got pics of three different bucks and several does so maybe I can get my first primitive kill with ol' Patience.

Cam,

I'm speachless amigo! Awesome job. That spread is going to look amazing in PA magazine!

Folks in case y'all didn't know George  and Cam volunteered to help me out with BOM contest. George did the photos for the voting part and Cam is putting the winning collage pics together. It's a real team effort and I am so VERY grateful for the help!
