It's funny, when I look at my bow from last June next to all the rest, it kinda makes me wonder if there wasn't some kind of malfunction with the voting buttons that month. To me it looks out of place - the others are in another league altogether. :o
It's gonna take a lot of pondering to pick one... and the self bows will be even tougher!
-
Nothing wrong with that bow, Nice sleek example of very functional bow.I liked that one a lot. :) Yes it was tough. :)

Great looking bows, its so hard to pick just one.
-
all great bows, but i remember calling b-o-y when one was posted, still got my vote, Bub
-
Dang, so hard to choose.
-
very hard to choose. I think that the horn bows should be in a" composite" category. when I look at these bows I have to consider the difficulty of manufacture and the extra effort to get them to tiller not to mention the amount of time invested in them. some really great bows for sure all deserving of winning in thier own category which makes the decision even harder..
-
Definitely the year of the Hornbow. I'm glad I own one of them, made the voting easier.xs
-
Maybe our horn bow czar (Mr. Ugliest ;) )needs to start a thread. Who knows what could come from it. The horn bow/horse bow catagory is showing more and more interest. They definitely fit in with the rest of what we all do here.
-
where and how do we vote?

where and how do we vote?
Looks like you missed the boat by about an hour. :P The voting closed early this morning.
Congrats Keenan!

Thank you Cam
Thank you Matt
Thank you Pappy
Thank the James, It certainly was a close race with your incredible Synthian bow. I think if you didn't have Two bows in the running you might have taken it.
They are all certainly winners and I'd be proud to carry any of them. Talking to James yesterday it is funny how we always view others work as better then our own, and often feel we could have done better. We all inspire each other in many ways and I know that much of what I have learned over the years is from all of you. Thank you all for the support.
