As far as, " my bows aren't good enough to compete". Nobody is going to make fun of them ::) Some years I might finish 4 or 5, others 1. But I post them all. I like the criticism and like to see how they fair in the voting. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to win but I can't count how many times I've come up short.

I've posted every bow I've made since I joined, knowing that most had no chance at all. I also vote each month and I have no criteria other than what strikes my fancy. I learn a ton from the people who build the bows that win. It's helped me a lot, particularly in finishing, though I'm still not in the league of some of the guys here. Still great fun.

Reading over this thread I am renewed with faith in our forum members sense of community and unity. One common characteristic was a desire and a hope for BOM to continue. Amen to that! I am also encourage by the candor and honesty by you all.
It's true. Life is busy and keeps getting busier, but if we want the things that ar near and dear to us about this forum to not just survive, but to thrive then we must all be active participants.
We all have something to offer. Everyone of us. We are all special a d gifted with different gifts, but one thing rings true for all of us. Our love of primitive archery. It's that love that makes us a collective body with one desire which is to pass on the legacy of primitive archery.
Last week I taught my students the fable, The Three Bulls and the Lion with the moral of the story being united we stand. Divided we fall. I have chosen to graze with you all in unity.
It took me over five years to join this forum because I didn't think I had anything to offer. I believed that until I stummbled upon the trading post.. I was like a hungry kid in a candy store jen I joined. Those of you that know me must know hat I have an uncanny ability to "gather and aquire" raw materials. I can't make bows like Ken, Pappy, Pat a d the list will go on and on--- BUT I can gather :laugh:

I will make a promise to all my faithful PA friends. Every single bow I build from here on out will be entered regardless of what I think about it. I will do my part to keep it alive and healthy!

I'm a step ahead of you on that part. As you can see by the last bows I submitted, if I post 'em on the forum , I will submit 'em. If for nothing else than to make the quality bowyers look even better. Now if we could just get more members to vote.

I am a relatively new member and bowyer and don't really feel qualified to chose. I mean, I can tell which one I like best, or that is the prettiest, but since I am not an experienced bowyer, I am not knowledgeable enough to the amount of work involved, so I didn't cast a vote. I guess I felt like it would be fair to the guy or gal that put in the most effort. Maybe that's the wrong opinion, but that's why I didn't vote.
Nonsense Sir! You are a member, you are qualified!
