I am going to just post the pictures and let the cards and arrows speak for themselves. There was some amazing talent present, and the competition was tough, but in the end there were 3 clear winners, who will be posted last. Although everyone who entered was capable of winning.

Please enjoy the show, I know the 150+ in attendance did.

Congratulations to all! Mike, I didn't even notice last night that your arrows were self-nocked. Nice job!

As always pictures do not do ANY justice. That additive Mike put in his clear coat really made those arrows one of a kind. It was so cool to have the crown change color right in your hands.

I talked to a lot of folks last night and the top three were on the lips of everybody, just with different order. I was hoping to go home with all the sets from the top three, but I could only hang in the auction for the 2nd place arrows.

Thanks to all the fine arrowsmiths for supporting the Michigan Longbow Association AND The Professional Bowhunters Society.
