Really nice trophies for this one and they about ate us out of house and home, man can they eat, I ant sure how many Pappy burgers we sold but it was a bunch. went through 560 burgers 350 dogs and lots of chips/drinks and candy, we made it but barely.

Seems like we always just barely make it.

Miss Joanie keeping the kitchen guys straight.

We had shoot down and events every evening and they were great fun for all that was in them and for all that was watching.

The self bow shoot down winners, 1 man and 1 woman and boy can they shoot. lots of kid and quite a few on and off in the napping pit and building bows.

Maybe we are rubbing off on some of the IBO people, hope so.

My girls were the main ones glad it was over, they have to stay in the kennel while the shoot is going on , but they do very well. That's it. it's over for another year. Miss Joanie and I feel so Blessed to have this place to share and really enjoying seeing people from all over come to visit, thanks to all that came and all the guys in TwinOaks and other friends of the Club that make this happen with style, it is much appreciated. Now it is time for some rest.

Life is Good.

Looks like a great success, Pappy. Well done to you and the Twin Oaks gang.

Be sure Miss Joanie gets plenty of rest. She looked beat in that pic of her in the kitchen.

You bet Pat/Bob. She is fine , just caught her in a bad pose

She was worn out though but hung in like a trooper, nether of us are as young and we use to be and takes a few day to get over and back into routine .

Great weekend but really hot down here now, guess it is every where right now from what I am hearing.

Well it is July. ;)I spent some time in the shop under the fans but also getting stuff ready to load for Elm Hall next Sunday, can hardly wait, I love being at the farm but this is my get away to just shoot/camp and fellowship with lots of old friends.Beau came down Saturday and we shot the Hunter's Challenge range, we didn't get a chance to shoot during the IBO [to busy which is a good thing ]

so we usually try and shoot it later, we left it up for a Club shoot this coming weekend because most of us don't get time during our events to shoot. Not many pictures but here is a few. Repaired and old stool in the shop, some ask why I was wasting my time on that old stool, as you can see by the writing on the seat it is kind of special to me,

plus I don't like to just throw things out because they are old and worn out our in need of repair,[like me]

guess that's why I have so much junk.

Got my short Osage all tillered 48@26 and ready to put seal and call it done. Worked on and old bow I found it the trash after the IBO shoot, the glass had came off of the bottom limb, I am not a glass man but Shawn came by and gave me some pointers and I got it all glued up it is 38@28 and should be great for some kids, no name on it so not sure if it is home made our not but still a nice looking bow [waste not want not ]

Also worked on another knife and got the scales all ready to drill for pins and glue up. The girls always find a cool spot under the fan but close to me.

Joe came by to put the finishing touching on his Osage bow, it turned out nice and he shoots it well, it is the first he has made in almost 20 years, glad to see him back at it.

The Glass bow out of the hot box and cleaned up, turned out nice and seems to be holding fine, I assume someone torqued it while trying to string. The brats for dinner and enough left for supper.

Started getting my stuff all laid out for my trip North, I have to start early or I will forget some thing for sure, probably will anyway.
