And it's coming soon. So, I am announcing another contest.
Lot of people here have posted threads of teaching people how to build bows. I'm guessing some of these people that are new to making bows may not have a subscription to P.A. Tsk, tsk. I'll just have to fix that for one of them.
So. Here are the rules:
1) post on this thread a photo of the person and their finished (or nearly finished) bow. Previously posted photos are fine. If you didn't get a photo, call your student and have them get a quick cell phone snap, if that's what they got.
2) the student bowyer may not live in your home (after all, you should be getting your own dang subscription)
3) entries due by the 31st of September.
I'll draw the name out of a hat and send a P.M. to the person posting the winner's photo asking for the full name and mailing address. Once they respond to me privately, I will call up PA's office and talk to the wonderful people there to set up the one year subscription for the winner.
This community means the world to me and I consider many, many of you to be good friends. This is my way of passing on some of those good vibes and encouraging those new to the addiction. The spirit running thru this community is "pay it forward", I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary in this crowd, just doing it a little differently is all.
Thanks everyone!

p.s. This contest is not offered by Primitive Archery Magazine nor any of it's employees or contractors. This offer is strictly from me and if I go south on the deal, Primitive Archer Magazine is not responsible and I will end up in Mullet's little black book and nooooooobody wants that.

Nice gesture JW> I posted that I was trying to subscribe to the magazine by mail and had a couple of comments but no one has given me directions on how to subscribe. I'm not looking for the emag, I want the hard copy to put on the rack in the outhouse. I even emailed calendergirl without a response.
Early congrats to you on 4000.

Great idea! Congrats on the (almost) 4000 mark. I, for one, am happy you've had so many posts because most of them have given me a good laugh. Keep 'em coming!
-

Still waiting for entries. Just post a pic of the new bowyer on this thread and I'll take care of the rest.

Congrats on 4000 posts John! Maybe I will post a pic of the black spruce bow I am trying to make. :D
-
Pity no one decided to take me up on the offer. I guess I will just buy a subscription for a friend.
BTW, Kyle...yer bow just got finished this weekend....hehehe! Now you gotta wait for the Post Office to deliver it to your Nearly North Pole address!

JW, I don't know any young starters or I sure would have entered someone. Hell I'll be 63 come November and I just got started. Since I couldn't enter my own picture and name I didn't know what the hell to do.
You'd think a guy that's been around as long as I have could have figured something out, wouldn't ya?
