Thank you to all of you for the kind words towards all the participants. I am glad they entered and showed of their craftyness. There was some serious competition.
Although I won, I have to thank 2 really good friends. 1st off, I must thank Ken Scollick. Ken took me under his wing and showed me everything I know about arrow building (just not everything HE knows). I have always enjoyed woodworking (make a living doing so), but never even gave arrow making a thought until I visited Ken one day while he was in his shop enjoying the relaxation that arrow building brings. Me being me, the questions started flowing and he was more then receptive to my bombardment of questions.
The next guy I would like to thank is another good friend, Steve Osminski (Steve O). Steve has had more inspiration in my arrows than he can even think. Believe it or not Steve, I actually listen when you talk, and the gears start turning when ever you do (I have to draw the line at gold leaf though...or do I???). Wait till next year, this one is going to surprize you (me to if it works).
Blake Fisher (Eclipse Broadheads) deserves some appreciation as well. In my opinion, Eclipse 2 blade heads are the best on the market, and there was never a thought of using anything else. His broadhead was icing on the cake.
What I'm trying to say is...Thank you for having patience with me and being good friends. Like most things in life, an individual does nothing, but a great group of friends can accomplish anything. Yes I won (even though I voted for snag), but more importantly, TEAM Motor City Machetes won this.
See you all next year in Cinncinatti.
