Pretty bows??
Dano:
It's about buildin bows my friend, not rules and regulations, and most importantly Personal Thoughts. Take a break dude!
Gordon:
A bow that is well crafted is naturally attractive.
radius:
Gordon said it again, in just a few simple words. Nothing wrong with making pretty bows.

It looked like everybody that had a suggestion for BOM pretty much exhausted their ideas on the other thread, so why rehash it over here? On top of that, it seems like most of the people bitchin, very seldom contribute.

Wow. Some folks get pretty worked up about this stuff.
I like the idea of not posting the vote tally until it's done. I personally don't vote because I won't take the time it takes to fairly judge 40 something entries every month. I don't follow every post closely throughout the the month and it just doesn't interest me to pick a "winner."
For those who win every month, please reconsider being more selective with your entries. I've always found bowyering to be a personal journey, not a competition. To put it another way, if you do win, you've only demonstrated you are a big fish in a very small pond. Nice sometimes granted, but that's what it boils down to. Yes, I have entered, and won. And I wear the hat proudly. But all I really wanted was to get my wife's picture in the magazine, and only once.
For those who resent the ones who win every month, how about a rule such that once you win a BOM you either get kicked into another higher class, like Dano suggested beginner, intermediate, etc. or you simply aren't allowed to enter more bows for the year.
On the whole, I think a hand full of folks regard this as being a whole lot more important than it really is. While an interesting part of the magazine, any three bows highlighted from the boards, picked at random even, would serve the same purpose, perhaps even better serve the purpose.
