Headed to the cabin today through Sunday morning, got a few things left to do to be ready for Saturday's shoot, getting gravel today and a few other odds and ends. Hope yall have a good one also. Life is good

By the way got the Classic buttons ordered, I think they look good, hard to believe it has been 25 years.

Another good weekend, it was beautiful Thursday and got a lot done on the gravel and some work ing the shop, Friday some rain and cool, cold Saturday for the shoot but sunny and clear and we had a bunch show up and didn't seem to mind. Had 122 register for the shoot and as always it seems at Twin Oaks the traditional /self bow guys out numbered the wheel folks 2 to 1, always love seeing that. We got 2 new guys in the club and both wanted to build a self bow so with my help and GregB we got them shooting Thursday and ready for them to put the finish on.

First shot, the both came in at 50@26 and they shot them well, This was the first stick bow of any kind Bob had shot and he is learning quick and having a ball doing it.

1 more convert I hope.

I took some time and mounted the old vice I refurbished and started another knife, I had to weld a tang on this one, it is a nice old US file and should make a good heavy duty knife when finished. Then on to the gravel, we got 5 loads, it will sure help at the Classic rain or shine.

Then in for Venison steak and beans and ham for supper, hard to beat that.

Friday it was raining so I worked on the arrows and feathers for the Classic trophies, have to do 40 shafts with self nocks and Turkey feathers so it takes a while, 120 feathers to split and grind, I use a belt sander and a jig I made to hold the feathers.

People seem to come shoot and go at this event but we had around 40 or so stay for the awards, great day for sure. Nothing like the Classic but still loads of fun.

Hope yall had a good one also. Life is Good.
