We expect bowyers to progress and build better bows, but it is funny how our own personal tastes change over the years. 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.  ;)
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.

This one of the finest crops of bows I have seen !!

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!

Ditto for me, too, Del. I would have loved to have cast my ballot. My bad.
