dang... well it's too late to get it in this months contest but I can run it in the next one.  I will remove it from this one for now.  I went back and saw where you mentioned it had a hickory backing in the description paragraph I must've missed it when I reviewed it earlier.  I just remember reading about it being a red oak bow and missed completely where you said it was backed.  I will just run it in the May contest instead.  Thanks for catching that Scott.  :)

I'd be inclined to agree with Del...  but there's one bow that stands out for me and has done since it was first posted...

Sure is a large collection of beautifull bows  :o
That was a close race between many fine bows in my taste.
GooseGossetts Holy Moly and Gordons Vine Maple Turkey Hunting Bow were in my personal finale.

Gordon - Your bow is a total work of art and if I were to buy one of these bows, this would be it.
However I love to see someone challenge a piece of wood like the one GooseGossett got his hands on, so the vote goes to him - Sorry, really love them both.

Bolsjedyr, no need to feel apologetic. Goose's bow is one of the most unique bows I've seen in some time and is well executed. It is deserving of anyone's vote. And thank you for the nice compliment.
