Mojam Hatchet Bow Contest

"A hatchet, a spool of B-50, and Some Bees Wax. That's it!" Wingnut 2001

The idea came during a conversation, pondering the whole Y2K thing, concern how one could feed their family if they were alone in the wilds with the tools listed above. It grew into a contest with the judging criteria solely, "the bow most like to feed the family."

The contest was held at Mojam (Missouri Ozark Selfbow Jamboree 2001) in Marshall, MO. It was Judged by the renowned Dean Torges, Rusty Crane, and J.D. Jones.

I apologize for the image quality in advance. I was using a brand new camera (plus I'm pretty clueless in general).
