One of several errant shots by yours truly

Greg...you should have told the truth......We were trying to hit the target as far away from the 10 ring as possible 

Ha!  Yes, yes. I remember now.

Here is the video of the exploding target.

Great pics Greg and Clint!

Thanks Bill on the gumbo, but the fish and turtle fry was fantastic!

Clint, used that new scraper on the hackberry cambium and it worked great without tear outs.

Looks like the weather got right today for some shooting!

Here's a cool pic of some of the fun!

This guy doesn't need no stinking firearm to kill zombies. He's a regular Wytt Earp with that bow.

Dave, many thanks to ya old friend for a wonderful time. Sure had a lot of fun meeting and hanging out with everyone. Sorry that I had to cut it a little short Saturday.

Bunch of really talented bowers showed up for sure; got to see a Osage Longhorn bow (Ozzy), albino locust (Tracy) and some creative handle work on a light weight Osage created with a band saw (Greg) . Even got to watch Wytt Earp make some rounds for this bow.

OO, thanks for the HH stave brother.  Nice'en.

Hope Daniel got a few rounds off with that Locust, I'd give $13.00 for that bow right now.

Bill, I may try to talk Dave into helping me shoot some video at Moontree using the electric drawknife.

Wonderful time guys, great to meet everyone and looking forward to next year.


 

[Gsulfridge]

I too, enjoyed meeting new people at Moontree and left with more than I took. Great group of guys for sure.

Thanks Clint for the staves and awesome bow for my son
Daniel for the variety pack of accent wood
Tracy for the leather
Bill for the tillering tree attachment
Dan for the Purple Heart overlay material
Hickory Switch for the stave
Anyone else that I missed,  I apologize

And finally, the Bearded Story Teller and host for the stave and putting on such a great event. I really enjoyed it. Thanks so much Dave, it was a blast ( one really big one!).

[Gsulfridge]

 I'd give $13.00 for that bow right now.

$13.25!!

GMC, I missed the electric draw knife demo.  I would have sure liked to have seen that.  Daniel was shooting that black locust bow pretty good on the course. 

[DLH]

That's the outlaw side showing in Clint I couldn't shoot worth a dime but that was pure operator error. I'm thrilled with that bow I will be hunting with it this fall and maybe turkey season if I don't use a shotgun. Thanks for all the help on that locust Greg it's much appreciated it wouldn't have turned out as well as it did without you. I don't think I can let this bow go guys. Maybe the electronic drawknife would have been demonstrated if I didn't consume all of Greg's time all weekend. I'll bring your river cane to the classic Tracy think you will be there this year?

Guys, I had a great time hanging out with my old friends, again.  And, meeting a new friend--Dan you're welcome back any time.  Sorry about your Michigan State team, well not really.

List of things I found after everyone left.
A stanley tape measure
An Uncle Mike's holster

Whadda say we do it again next year?

Blackhawk and seabass, you guys were missed.

[TRACY]

Thanks Daniel. We were almost out of the bluegrass state when I remembered . Yes I will be at the Classic Thursday - Saturday  and that would be great to get them. Thanks!

Love the zombie shot Bill!

Dave I think the holster was mine. You can do with it what you like. It didn't fit my 1911 anyway. I also left a phone charger in the shop. If it will work for you, keep it as well. I have more.

[TRACY]

I'll second that Dave!

Clint mentioned adding shooting clay pigeons next time and that sounds like fun. Going to have to make Bill use the bow and flu flus to even it up for the rest of us

Tracy

[hedgeapple]

Sure we can shoot clay pigeons.  Bill mentioned he had a thrower and I have one.

I think Bill might still out shoot us with flu flu's

Thanks Dave for hosting such a great event. I had a blast and appreciate all you put into making it happen. It was great to meet you all and take away so many new techniques.
