 for me, its between Ryan's recurve, Gordon's snake back bow, and saw filers copperhead, it was really close, i  looked over and over and over again, and i made my decision, but i'll never tell.

Greg, put pictures of all of them on a bale of hay, close your eyes and let an arrow fly. The arrow decides for you.  ;D  In my case you dont have to close your eyes though, there is no telling where the arrow will go anyway. Justin

Congratulations Pappy, you certainly turn out a lot of great bows each year so Bow of the Year honors are definitely well deserved.  Justin

Congratulations Pappy on a well-deserved win!  :)

I know that you started out many years ago attempting to make selfbows with very little knowledge, but a lot of desire. That was a time of limited information available, and few experienced people to ask advice from. After a lot of trail and error, some disappointments, and eventually some direction you've become the very talented and respected bowyer that we know today.

I'm sure you'd agree that you had some great competition among the 2007 monthly selfbow winners...of which all should be proud of their accomplishment. ;)
