How do you pick the BOM?
GregB:
It definitely has made for interesting reading. :) I'm just an easy going southern boy that don't really like to rock the boat, and definitely do not like arguing. :) I really enjoy making selfbows and have only made three now with inlayed tips. This site reveals a lot of different types of bows and techniques and I enjoy learning and trying new things. I'm not going to get bent out of shape over a competition although I like winning as well as the next guy. Plenty of stress for me at work without bringing it into my hobby! ;)
As for the question of voting technique...we're all individuals and will vote as such. If the BOM ever got to where it was more of a headache for me then enjoyable, I would quit competing...simple as that.
To put my 2 cents worth in...I do think good quality clear pictures allow everyone to better view and critique a bow. If you're going to compete...why wouldn't you want as good a picture quality to show your bow to its best potential? ???
Peace! :)

constructive disagreement is what makes us go to the next level. . i love a good argument >:Dkeep it up but keep it as respectful as you have been. peace
Marc St Louis:
As your level of skill goes up so does your understanding and appreciation for the difficulty in execution of difficult designs or methods. Jamie's stone bows are such and so are many other bows. I've voted for many snake bows and recurves because I know from experience how difficult they are to make. I hardly ever vote for a D bow because they are easy to make, also why I don't post the ones I make. There are always exceptions to every rule though. A good finish is also very hard to accomplish :)
Hillbilly:
My extremely complicated system is to vote for the bow I like the best that month. ;D
Badger:
Hillbilly, I think thats what it really is about, if you like it best vote for it. You can have any reasons you want. I will admit that I hold certain guys to higher standards which sometimes isn't fair I think, but I do it anyway LOL. Steve
