A bow that is well crafted is naturally attractive.
exactly!
...and get your pictures well-focused, than you have the fairest chance!
i had been jumped on for posting a purple heart bow with 2-coloured overlays and found myself hearing stuff like '(such thing) opening the door to FG' and it's been suggested i put on nice pictures in order to capture votes; sure i do; ...AND???
what keeps you from doing the same???!
andrea said it in her fine essay about the whole BOM-hipe in the other thread: it IS a beauty contest; we HAVE to judge by pictures!
for me it somehow comes down to 'you are not fair because you post nice pictures, and i still don't know how to get my camara focussed!' well than RTFM!!!
the above mentioned PH-bow was a good bow with great tiller from difficult wood!
colour of tips's been smiled at, the fact that these were needle tips that certainly added to performance failed to be mentioned!
when this bow failed short to win BOM i was more surprised then anybody; i NEVER would have thought that considdering several bows of higher poundage in that list!
before i had posted a rather short 60#@29" straight bamboo composite that i'm sure would outshoot many other bows posted in that month's list (and more) and would certainly be a great hard-hitting hunting bow AND exposed here with nice detailed pictuers and it never came close to a win! - well, that's the way it is: objective does not exist!
take it easy, please!
