Due to recent developments I've chosen not to partecipate in the BOM contest.

Don thanks for not adding this bow to the list.

Thanks

I have a feeling, not certain but a feeling, based on recent discussions....if it is what I think all I can say is that I respect your choice Manny.

I know why Manny pulled his bow from BOM. I have to say I appreciate anyone who is willing to stand up for what they believe in.  Justin
