Folks, I will be combining BOM for September/October. If you want to be considered for the BOM please PM me your subscription number and a link to your bow posting. This will give me the necessary information in one message and will shorten the amount of time needed to compile the bows for the contest at the end of the month. Thank you for your cooperation and your patience as I learn the ropes. Good building and best of luck to you all.

Well crud...I was considering it, especially since Matt had his Coral snake / Horn bow in September and I maybe had a slim chance but now you went and combined the two months, UGGG. LOL
Sheesh

Is there not a way you can go back thru the posts for sept and separate them from this month. Please.
You can go back all the way thru the posts and bookmark them all and compile all the full draw photos. You should be able to see the dates and when the post was posted. Its not to late to vote for sept and separate the months. Because your going to have to go back thru to sept 1st anyways and it seems like a lot more work compiling two months worth of posts than one. Just my thoughts.
-
Let me reiterate my point by using numbers. Generally there is 35-50 bows to vote for in one month alone. If you combine them then that's gonna be around 75 plus or minus for two months combined. And when you look at voting numbers there's only usually around 120 people plus or minus who vote. Do the math and you are gonna have like a multiple winning tie.

Hey Chris, do you play the lotto?

Do to circumstances beyond our control BOM won't happen this month! :'( The deadline is way to close for it to happen. Cipriano has his hands full learning all that is involved in compiling, editing and posting the many bows submitted for BOM and needs everyones assistance while he transitions into taking on BOM for Primitive Archer Magazine and our PA website.
Something new to BOM this month is all bows to be considered for BOM must be accompanied with your subscription number. You will find this on the address lable of your magazine. Cipriano has also asked that each bow submitted for BOM consideration to please PM him your subscription number and a link to your bow posting. With this little bit of help from each of you wanting your bows considered for BOM, Cipriano transition will be a lot smoother. The sooner he get comfortable with the whole process the smoother the whole process will be.
Thank you, Cipriano for stepping up to the plate! I'm looking forward to many many more BOMs with you at the helm. 8)

Thank you Cipriano.

Apparently I'm not smart enough to meet the new requirements. I know, that's not exactly a shocker. :D Oh well, I knew that I wasn't going to win anyway. Someday I'll get these sticking computer contraptions figured out. Until then, carry on!!

If possible could someone explain the process of sending a link because I am technology ignorant and may need someone to hold my hand through the steps ???
-
To copy a link you find the thread you want and right click the link or title to that thread and select copy shortcut, then you right click in the personal message box or the post you want to share the link and select paste.
http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,28419.0.html here is the link to this thread, give it a try ;D

...or you can go to where you posted your bow and copy it right out of the address bar at the top of your screen. Just select it, right click, click "copy" go to where you wanna paste it, right click again, and select "paste"... Either way works the same. So easy a caveman can do it!!! >LOL<

Here is the curve ball...I am on a DROID x there is np right clicking here what does plan b look like???

Soy. All I use is a Droid. To copy and paste a link,go to he top of the page and touch and hold down onto the page header. A menu with several options will pop up. Touch on copy. Then go to the thread you wanna post the link. And in the text portion touch and hold down like you did before with the page header. That same menu will pop up. Click on paste and ta da..it should pop up. Feel free to ask me more if you need help posting stuff with a smart phone. These things are smarter than us. I like to have the thread I wanna post in and the link page I wanna post in in separate windows for faster and easier use.

Thanks for all your help on this board and for taking on the challenge Criveraville
-
I sent the link to my bow but don't know how to find the subscription # If it's on the mailing label, that is long gone since it was on the wrapper. Oh well, probably not good enough to be in there anyway :-\
-
That is good point, as I have tossed mine also. Where dose one find the# other than the plastic? This is good to get all the bumps ironed out now as opposed to later

This is a test
Thanks for the hand holding blackhawk :D

:) :laugh: no prob ;)
So are only the people that send links of there bow and sub # for sept and oct(this month) will be displayed to vote for?
-
The magazine has let us know that they require a subscription for a bow to win BOM. They made the announcement a couple of months ago so we wouldn't be surprised. The request then was that you post your subscription # with any bow that is to be considered in the contest. Since no bows have been posted with the number, and since Criveraville would have to go through several hundred posts to find all of the bows, I suggested to him that he request everyone to PM the link and number to him. This will make it manageable for him and keep the subscription numbers a little more private. Since he will spend many hours trying to organize and run the contest, I don't think it is asking to much for everyone to PM a link.
-
I agree with giving Cipriano as much help as possible to ease him into his new job. I can't imagine how many hours would be involved if he had to sift through all of the threads in the bow section each month (how Josh did it is beyond me!). Just creating the two voting threads each month would probably take a few hours. We have to remember that these guys are volunteers, and without them there wouldn't even be a BOM section, on the forum or in the magazine.
I would suggest maybe adding these new stipulations to the rules in the BOM section to avoid any further confusion in the future, for those who are not following this thread.
-
I agree it would make it easy on everybody to have a reference ;)

Agian. I'll ask how you get you sub.# when the mailing lable comes on the plastic wrapper that gets thrown away? I don'tmind helping to make Cip's job easier, but I need help to help Him.

Taken from the Customer Service page on the PA website:
"Please email us at orders@primitivearcher.com or call 713.467.8202"
I'm guessing that they should be able to help you out.

That would be my best guess also.

I appreciate all the questions answered and clarity form the admin folks. I have received many PMs with subscription numbers and I believe that calling the above number will get you the subscription number.
