Is BOM melting down?

<< < (10/24) > >>

Lucasade:
A thought on opening it up to non subscribers - maybe subscribers who win get recognised for their subscription in the write up and some sort of prize, non-subscribers get the write up and kudos but nothing extra?

bubby:
As far as subscribing to the magazine it's pretty cheap and they do keep this site up that's a small price to pay

Stoker:
Simon thank you for bringing this up.. I don't build bows.. I tried had some success and some failure.. Don't spend much time one it... But I do enjoy BOM and the bow forum.. I vote as often as I can.. I think we have some of the premeir builders on this site.. We will be worse off losing it.. Sometimes we got to shake the cage.. A little revolution is not a bad thing... Subscribing is not a bad thing everything costs money..
Thanks Leroy

I've entered a few bows and I enjoyed the announcements in my email box. But as of recent I have been reluctant to post any bows on BOM or the regular forum, mainly because I really don't have the time to take the fancy pictures.
I will continue to build and share as much as I feel needs to be shared, from my end of the spectrum.

Josh, your points where straight through and I agree.

As far as I was aware the issue with the hats and the problems with people's subscriptions where due to a certain employee who is no longer over seeing that department. Once I was contacted about my decline to renew I was assured that things would go more smoothly as thus so far it has.
I enjoy the articles and the info provided.

I've won a few BOM's and got my hats, to which Iam grateful for the support and prize:D
If I build a bow truly worthy of the contest I promise to submit. But as of late, none seem to strike my fancy as such.

I vote for, not only the bow but the bowyer, if I see the same bow made by the same person over and over again. I will not vote for them. Instead I vote for the bowyer who goes against his own grain to explore the craft and the artistry.

I just renewed my subscription.  I would like a hat :).  Not sure my bows will be worthy of the competition but I intend to participate in BOM.  I have been observing for the past few years trying to build a bow worthy of the contest.  If I wait to build one worthy, I may never participate.  If more entries are required to keep it going, I am in.  I have enjoyed viewing bows too much to see it go away.
