John Thomas Wins Oct Self BOM!
« on: November 08, 2010, 08:29:40 pm »
Congratulations to John Thomas from Cottontown TN for Winning the October Self BOM Contest!

Bow Description by Pappy:
It is 58 n-n 47@28 Pignut Hickory with 3 thin layers of deer leg sinew on it. Cocobola tips and Diamondback skins. Nice work John, sweet shooter and beautiful finish work.  John T. said he had never made a Hickory bow that he really liked until this one.   We made him keep it dry.  There you go, it is stained just can't remember what color he said he used. I will pass the compliments along, he don't get online much.

Compliments:
"Wow!  Now thats one nice bow.  I enjoyed how it shoots.  He done some mighty fine work on that bow." -Jon
"That is one sweet looking bow."  -Lombard
"That's just awesome! Great bow! The look of happiness on John's face is priceless. Jawge" -George Tsoukalas
"well i love it.those tips are incredible, it's got a  sweet profile and the tiller is great!" -youngbowyer33
"Yeah I like it! Tiller looks perfect, tips awesome-and hickory is great bow wood" -Hammertime

 Congratulations, John. It has that Classic look, and look's like a snappy shooter. Well, done.

Wow! Nice bow... amazing, I finally voted for the winning bow. I must have odd tastes compared to many of you.

Again congrats.
