Thanks everyone.  He was really excited about winning.  We were waiting for the doors to open yesterday so we could see how he did. 

Pat, If you think it might make a good article for the magazine, I will contact him.  Where could I find his email?

Think it will make a good magazine article?  Are you kidding??  I would read it with my son and it would encourage him. ;)

Man, he's got bragging rights for a while now, don't he. Not alot of people can say the first bow they ever made won grand champion in a wood working competition!  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I bet he takes the top at the state one too. It's a perfect tiller and a very well made bow. He really did do a great job and I think he deserves it.

I couldnt agree more with Pat B, this is an inspiring build along and would be a perfect fit for the magazine. This is the epitome of P.A. I cant  even imagine the amount of pride the two of you share. Got my BOM vote for sure.

I contacted the editor.  He agreed it would be a good piece for the magazine.  Now I need to write it out.  I'm not much of a writer so I am not looking forward to that :-[

Clint, that's great news about the article. If you write it, I would be happy to go over it for you. I'm an English major and writing comes easy.. I enjoy editing papers for fun too :D

Also, if he wants to put a skin on it, let me know. Be happy to gift him some scales.

Just came across this thread...excellent!  Good luck with the article...my 13 year old went to his first MOJAM this year and has the 'bug' now to make his own...now, whether or not his patience will last is another thing altogether!  Look forward to the article and congratulations!
