Is BOM melting down?
Pappy:
Thanks Steve for stepping up. I talked to Marie the other day and the crew is all supposed to be at the Classic, that might be a good time to discuss this face to face and see how they really feel about it and if the even care if it carries on or not, :-\ if not so be it but if so maybe we can get some of the kinks worked out in person. ;) I am on here a lot and do a lot of business by email but still rather work out problems out face to face instead of email or on line chatter. ;)

Very good, Pappy. You certainly have a point. See you soon and in good form.

I actually did read the majority of the posts. A lot of good points made. I do like Simon's idea of making the prize a pin instead of a hat. Maybe make it a different pin every year. Much more cost effective and easier to get out to the winners.
I'm on the fence about having to be a subscriber to enter BOM . Part of me says it will get more people involved and promote the site more. Say a nonsubscriber wins, it will promote their family members and counterparts to purchase magazines to view their success (although there are no more over the counter sales?...I used to get mine from tractor Supply before I subscribed). On the hand I think it is a truly minor donation to actually subscribe to the magazine and support this community.
I love looking at the BOMS and I always vote. I have no resentment towards repeat winners. They build bows that deserve to be BOM. I am a very competitive person...always have been. I believe people should earn their place in this world in every facet...this includes being a Bowyer. This being said....you guys better watch out cause I got a good one I'm entering in April! ;) (I may even fly wizaedgoat or pinecone to the east coast to photograph my bow, maybe bring Carson out to do the shirtless sky shot pose ;D)

ajooter, I'm looking forward to seeing your bow and glad to see some new blood.
Pappy:
Just bear with us , I think this is all going to work out. I know it is hard sometimes but try and keep a good attitude about it /some very good suggestions here and I think the powers to be are ready for a change to get it back on track. Its a lot of work for those that take care of this and if they don't stay enthused about it, it all falls apart and I think that is what has happened of the last few years, burn out or just not really having the time to devote to it. Hopefully that will change soon so bear with us and then post them bows. ;) :) :) :) Thanks for all your input it has been a big help and I think opened a few eyes to the problems. :)
