BAREBOW! An Archer's Fair-Chase Taking Of North America's Big Game 29 wins the Prestigious 2010 POMA Pinnacle Award
Posted Tuesday, 8/17/2010 11:00am
La Porte, Indiana - On Friday, August 13th, the prestigious Pinnacle Award was handed out at the 5th Annual POMA Business Conference held in La Porte, Indiana and this year's winner was Dennis Dunn's unique coffee-table book, BAREBOW! An Archer's Fair-Chase Taking Of North America's Big Game 29.
In 2006, Mossy Oak joined forces with the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA) as the title partner of the organization's prestigious Pinnacle Awards. The Pinnacle Awards, considered the "Oscars of the Outdoor Industry", honor journalists annually for exceptional journalistic achievement in traditional outdoor sports-focused magazine writing, newspaper/Web writing, photography/illustration, broadcasting and conservation journalism.
It's important to note that this is not the book's first award; it recently received 1st Place for NOWA's (Northwest Outdoor Writer's Association) Excellence in Craft Competition as well as a "Best of the Best Book Award" for 2010 on the Bulls & Beavers website.
In BAREBOW!, Dunn teams up with award-winning wildlife artists, Hayden and Dallen Lambson, to produce a striking account of Northern American wildlife, and the enduring connection made by one archer in pursuing and harvesting the entire N.A. Super Slam. It was the first one ever completed "barebow" with no sighting devices used for aiming.
Because BAREBOW! contains no photos of dead animals at their recovery sites, it has proven itself to be nearly as enjoyable for the non-hunting reader as the hardcore hunter.
BAREBOW! Wins a Top OWAA Award

Last week, in Rochester, MN, at the annual conference of the Outdoor Writers Association of America, Dennis Dunn's book, BAREBOW!, won its third award of the year. The author was there in person to accept the Second Place Award for the Book Category in the yearly Excellence in Craft contest.
As in the case of the earlier, First Place Award received from the Northwest Outdoor Writers Association, the award carried a modest monetary prize, as well.
"I'm truly honored," said Dunn, "because this is a very keen, national competition. It certainly justifies the solid three years and four months I spent writing the book."

Dennis Dunn's unique coffee-table book, BAREBOW! An Archer's Fair-Chase Taking of North America's Big-Game 29, received the First Place Award (Book Category) in the annual Excellence in Craft Competition of the Northwest Outdoor Writers Association.
Dunn was present earlier this month in Seeley Lake, MT, at NOWA's annual conference, to accept the award in person and to present a Seminar titled: "Hunting: Vicious or Virtuous? How to Educate the Non-Hunting Public".
This award came on the heels of another award bestowed on Dunn's book during the previous month. The popular hunting-and-fishing website, BULLS & BEAVERS, announced in mid-April that it was giving BAREBOW! its "Best of the Best Award" for 2010 in the book department.
At about the same time, the book was blessed with a fine Editor's Review published in the May 2010 Issue of OUTDOOR LIFE Magazine. To read the "Best of the Best" posting on the Bulls & Beavers website, the following link will take you there: www.bullsandbeavers.com/best-of-the-best/awards/
BAREBOW! was officially released on National Hunting and Fishing Day, Sept. 27, 2008, with a book-signing for the author and artists at the National Visitors Center of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in Missoula, Montana.
Here's what Jim Slinsky, host of the nationally-syndicated Outdoor Talk Network has to say about BAREBOW!:
