 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Eddie, Try cropping the pics to get them below 200. 
   Good pics of Cody and Dick. :o   By the way!  I think that was 3 monkeys and a football. ;D      Pat

OK, here's some pics. Eddie, I finally got Pat's yew artillery piece pulled on back past my ear, glad nobody took a pic of my facial expression while I was pulling it lol.

This is either Pat the birthday boy or Charlie Manson wandering through  :)



Jonathan (Dingleberry), Eddie (Mullet) yakking while Scott H is working:



Dingleberry straightening some cane arrow shafts:



Eddie hard at work digesting 76 pounds of food and various assorted liquids  :)



Cody with his new PA shirt signed by everybody (now his favorite possession). I had to threaten him with bodily harm to get him to take it off long enough to take a shower last night.



I met this pretty little lady near the end of Pat's driveway as I was coming in:

More:

Pat, Alan (Woodland Roamer), and Bob:



Some idjit redneck Parker trying to catch arrows that Chris was shooting at him from about twenty yards away. If you look closely inside the red circles, you can see the arrows in flight:





I think this is the one that drew blood:



What can I say? The man, the myth, the legend, Chris Cade (Mechslasher):



Hear no evil, speak no evil, knap no evil-Eddie, Tom B, and Pat:

 A few more:

Eddie working on a paleolithic lawnmower blade:



Me and Pat offering expert advice while watching Barry spall a chunk-o-chert  :)



Bob still hard at work chasing a ring:



Damn, that Hillbilly's a handsome feller! I don't know what Barry was saying to me here, but it musta been a pretty sad story:



Tom is either having a zen moment, or two days and nights of too much nonstop fun is starting to catch up with him:



And finally, here's what we all felt like after a long weekend of not enough sleeping, too much food, too much liquid refreshment, too much scraping on wood and beating on rocks, telling too many stories of questionable veracity, and pretty much having a helluva big ol' time (In other words, when are we doin' it again?  ;D )

Sorry Hillbilly I did not catch everyones handle the short time I was there. Saturday i was not feelin to good. To make it worse I knew I had a couple hour drive home. I do appologize for my memory breakdown. I know I will never forget now.
Wish I could have hung out the whole time. Looks like i missed another day of fun. Thanks to Bob for the feathers and DingleBerry for the advice on shaft straightning. Thanks to everyone else for good conversation and good food. Pat Hope you had a good Bday. Can't wait to meet all you people again.

Well, that was a lot of fun.  Was no one else brave enough for the waterfall shower?  That thing should come with a warning.  Same time next year???

Was a blast . Lets try for a gathering sooner than next year. Maybe if I would have tried the waterfall shower it would have worked wonders on me.
