These are the kind of odds I like. 50/50! I wish my chance at the Mega Million was the same.  ;D

just 2 bows...one of which was my absolute favorite combo of osage, sinew, and static tips...but it was still a tough choice...the other bow was super nice as well... Congrats to both bowyers on a job well done!

Dang! new I should have put sinew on my bow. You better eat your Wheaties to pull Pat's little bow, I know when I tried I should have ate some.

Congratulations Pat.  That is a fantastic bow.


I feel pretty proud to have supplied parts in both winning bows this month.  Its amazing what a piece of wood and the skin off of a ripe roadkill snake can turn into when its put into the hands of experts.  Congrats Pat and Pearly.

Thanks guys. This is a real thrill for me and I appreciate all the great comments. This bow literally would not be possible without that stave I got from Clint. I know he was disappointed when I cut the knot hole off and I was disappointed too but the rings and the size of the stave made it perfect for the bow that was in my brain so I did what I had to do. Bryce built a beautiful bow also and he should be very proud of it.
