I think all will agree that the ultimate goal is to promote primitive archery while at the same time gaining support and recognition for PA and all that the magazine has to offer. To realise that goal, we must in my opinion go outside of this forum to reach the largest number of the right kind of people. The interest of new people is what we're after...all of us here already are eatup with the sport/hobby/PA. :)
The amount of $ raised I feel is secondary, although none of us would want the bows/accessories to go for a small amount because we understand and appreciate what works of art each item have turned out to be.
I think the selection of the right highly publicised event to possibly auction off the two community bows with their supporting equipment is the key. Hopefully as a condition of the donation, PA will be able to specify such criteria of proper display and advertisement of these works of art prior to the event. Hopefully they can be displayed to allow viewing by a large audience, and detailing the fact that they were created with the involvement of PA forum enthusiasts from across the country. We're proud of the results and know the community bow projects turned out special, just got to get the masses outside our ranks to realise it as well. ;)
Hopefully whichever organization is chosen will select a good cause for the proceeds generated. :)

;D ;D ;D That is what Im talking about. We have two definitely different goals here. One is raising money, the other is more good exposure for primitive archery. I think we need a lot more people to speak up and give their oppinion. Then maybe when we can set up a poll to decide. Justin

I dunno. Exposure for PA IMO is the main goal, but at the same time - don't want to give them away so's to speak :-\.

I agree, it would be a shame to let it go for $100 after all the work that has been put into it. That is why I planned to send $500 to the auction with someone from the board. If we can get a bidding war going it will generate interest. ;) Worst case scenario it comes to live with me. ;D Justin
jamie:
personally its a piece of bent wood. its the time and the hands that it has passed through that meens something so a monetary value will always be too cheap. i think the only people who really appreiciate the work are the ones involved in this craft. what if we just gave them to p.a. and allowed them to put all the new subscribers into a hat for a drawing. that would help p.a. by bringing in the subscriptions thye want. that way to it'll be in their hands and we can just move on to the next set. peace
p.s. thanks for the kind words keenan
