If you are new to this site and are wondering what this group of people is all about, well I am going to try and explain it in a few sentences. We all share the love of archery and an appreciation of things made before the record of history. We enjoy learning and teaching, bow making, flint knapping, and the list goes on and on. We come from all walks of life, sewage plant managers, Automotive Plant Parts Purchaser, Teachers, Wielders, Computer Drafting Experts, Heavy Equipment Operators, and the list goes on and on. We can't be categorized by race, demographic, religion, or political orientation, and this list goes on and on. There is one thing all of the people I meet at the classic share and that is a good heart! What makes the classic so wonderful are the humble, quality people, that take their vacation time to teach anyone who wants to learn what they know and with only the reward of knowing that they have given the next generation is the gift of "archery knowledge" what was not known 100 years ago.
The classic is what you make of it so you could spend all of you time learning to be a bower or a knapper or learn more about shooting a bow. You might just want to watch and listen to the music and sit around the campfire and share hunting stories. You are going to make friends and your children are going to make friends and they are going to gain experiences and knowledge much greater than that trip to see the mouse. The folks at Twin Oaks are not just pasting on the traditional ways of making bows but the traditional way that people should treat people. This was a very good experience for my son and me. There are many things in life that pull parents and children apart and it is nice to have an event that is truly family friendly. Pappy, Joanie and all of the Twin Oaks gang my hat goes off to you.
