Tanned Skin

This involves the home tanning of a skin taken as a trophy using any tanning method. This will be judged on finish, trimming, symmetry and overall look. When a skin is taken with a broadhed you can't help but to leave cuts. Providing some attempt is made to sew up these cuts they will not go against the overall judging of the skin.

Article Made From Leather

This is the making of something bowhunting or archery related. It does not have to be from leather that you have tanned yourself. This will be judged on the quality of work and the amount of non leather parts used in the articles constuction. This doesn't mean don't enter articles with buckles, studs and beads. But if two articles were hard to seperate the one with the least non leather parts would be leaned towards
