I find myself drawn to certain types of bows that I would have never voted for 1 year ago. NO, I wont tell you what kind. ;)

Post by: Spirittrakker on February 22, 2012, 03:22:59 am: I am new here, and upon my first visit have been blown away by the awe inspiring talent of these fine bowyers.
I find it hard to believe that we must choose between these death dealing works of art.
You all impress me beyond words, and my choice is one that does not come easily.
My hat is off to each and every one of you!

Post by: MammaLou on February 23, 2012, 12:16:47 am: I just got a notice today that there was a vote for BOY, and I see the voting was closed already by the time I got in here. When did this voting start? I feel like a really bad gramma cause I would have voted for Caedmon's bow had I known to come vote.... Woe is me.
