2011 Ozbow Photography Competition - The Winners!!!

[Stickbow Hunter]

We the judging panel were surprised at just how much time and effort went into selecting the initial group of photographs from which the winners were decided. Each judge selected their own preferences and then from those the entire panel had to select the winners in each category. This was by no means an easy task as it took many hours for each of the judges to arrive at our decisions.

First, congrats to all winners! each of these pictures deserve winning for sure!

I think it is very distinctive that this photograaphy-contest was held here at Ozbow, beause of all the forums i visit on the net (not only archery-related) Ozbow hs the highest density of high quality pictures!

My hats off to all of you who take the time and have the skills and then share those images with us!!!
