Hmm, it looks like my girl may have to spend a little time in the "tanning" booth before we lock horns.  :D

We're talking east and west of the Cascades in Oregon. We're going to have a gathering in May out in Sisters, OR. Maybe Gordon should stand on the west side of Mount Hood and Keenan can be on the east side and they can see who can shoot over the mountain and get the closest to the other person.  >:D

Gordan great build along! I think you have inspired me to try a recurve on the last piece of yew, that I have. Boy I can't wait for the Sisters shin dig, Gordan vs. Keenan cool is this the main event or just an appetiser. >:D

Man, makes me wish I could go cross the mountain this year. That would be great to see in person. Joel
