How do you pick the BOM?
Gordon:
At the risk of starting (or prolonging) an argument let me point out that humans have been decorating their weapons for thousands of years – spears, knives, shields, war clubs, bows, armor, guns, cannons and even fighter planes. I absolutely concur that an attractive veneer is no substitute for sound design and function, but it doesn’t have to detract either. And in many cases it can even enhance. Remember the Flying Tigers – I’m sure many an enemy turned cold at the sight of those fearsome jaws bearing down on them.
There are many here who obviously espouse a contrarian view and that’s cool – feel free to favor any utilitarian stick that tickles your fancy. And there is a certain and undeniable elegance to a simple, but well executed design.
But I like mine just a little naughty and attractive – after all I’m just a guy. ;D

medicine, i hope i didn't give the impression i was offended. i've been teaching in the public school system here in south carolina for over 12 years, i don't think it's possible for me to become offended any longer. but to help educate our european friends here is a pic of some late 40's deerslayers. enjoy!

Your right Eddie. I know I used to get all wrapped up in this contest. I don't really care who wins anymore or if anyone votes for me, or my bows anymore. Its just a stupid contest. :P Seriously I'm over it! ;D
