17th Tennessee Classic

[Jake Allen]

Ya'll sure put on a good shoot and a good show. I am grateful and impressed.
Thanks for all the hard work Pappy, Joanie and the Twin Oaks folks, and thanks for letting us enjoy your place. That is a fine place.

I appreciate too Miss Tomi letting me go with her, and sharing all of the good times.

Good courses, food and times, and most of all, memories. I shot a bunch, and enjoyed every minute.

Did the curly Osage bow get finished?


 I heard about it, but had forgotten until I saw the pic posted above.

I got it tillered out but it seemed like the wood was still wet.  I shot it on the practice bails and it was sluggish.  I'm working on drying it out.

Get some pictures Osage Outlaw when you can on the bow section...glad you got it shaped into a bow.

I will post it when I get it finished.  I'm not sure if the wood is going to be good for selfbows.  It is heavy and waxy feeling.  I might use the rest of it for knife handles or maybe F-glass bows

Wow, just popped over to this thread... hadn't seen it before. More great pics and stories. It really give a feel for the buzz about the place.
I'd better get off my backside and write the story from the new boy Brit's perspective.
Now remind me, what time is it?
By the way, I got a nice bonus final view of the USA...
We were on the tarmac at JFK waiting for take off, I looked out the window, across the water to where the sun was setting behind the Manhattan skyline. It was a beautiful sight contrasting nicely with the wooded valley of Twin Oaks... I bet you guys know which place I'd rather be tho'
A big thanks to every one of you who made me feel so welcome.

So nice to see some faces that I remember well.  It sure looks like a great time was had by all, but how could you not enjoy Pappy's, Miss Joanine's and all the Twin Oak Crew.  They sure do bring the meaning to Southern Hospitality to Life.  Thanks for everyone that shares pictures for those of us who could not make it.

Hi, great pics .
I tried to PM you but your inbox is full
Can I borrow a couple to post on my blog? IMG 0063 and 64
One to show how you guys hit the kill zone, and one showing some of the guys.
I know I met you, but I can't put the face to the user name and of course we mostly take pics with other people in.
We need a rogues gallery with real names, user names, and faces.
