Was there banana bread...?
Wish I could have made it there.

Oddly enough, we did start the day off with a plate of Banana Nut bread, (with blueberries this time), and coffee!

Hopefully the next one can work for you sir...

Dave, wish you could have been there too! It was a great time!

Eric, I know where those canopies belong and the arm guard. I guess we should have watched our a little better for  Mikes purse.

Glad you found everything! And sorry about all the wood shavings we left!

Here are a few pix from the gathering this weekend.  We had a GREAT time and I'm already looking forward to when we can do it again...

First Pic - Knoll started things off with a BANG!
Second Pic - JonW Tillering like a true primitive bowyer (aka - using whatever works best!), ...with a belt sander :)
Third Pic - J05H showing off how long of a curl he could make.
Fourth Pic - Patrick working wood.

...and yet a few more.  -OneBow

First Pic - Patrick holding forthe on the finer points of Sinew application with hide glue.  Mike looking on with a slight measure of incredulity.
Second Pic - One of the Ash trees that served as our shade, also did duty as Sleeks personal armory.
Thrid Pic - ...a group Pic we snapped after lunch.  Sadly Patches had already left for home and my nephew RJ had yet to arrive, so they are not pictured...

Thanks Eric for hosting this get together!  I had a good time.  The food was EXCELLENT!!! I did not know that there were cookies though.... :-[

It was good getting to see everybody and meet a few new people.

Thanks a bunch for the pics Eric! I don't think I took one pic all day. I just wasn't really feeling like myself. Thanks so much again for all you did bud! Patrick

Pat, the story the pic tells about you sinewing that bow looks like your describing how you use bunny rabbit sinew. Stuff off the back legs is best.

Not a single crazy pic with the chrono? Slightly ticked or its two cousins? Or Jo5h shooting his 80# bow with an arrow weighing only 320 grains?

Mike more than held up his end, and earned a bit of the RESPECT us OLD guys require Bar!  :)  ...but a new kid that could not get two consecutive arrows into the target somehow lucked-up and hit this tiny little 100 point spot on the target and took the High Score!  Grrrr...

Sleek - I failed to get any pix of all that good stuff.   I was kinda hoping J05H would post that video of you going nutz and some of the Chrony pix.

Chronologically, I'm definitely the senior. Experience/skillwise, I'm definitely a newbie. I got lucky and shot ok   ;)

Sleek definitely went a little nuts. He's an excitable fellow.  :laugh: :laugh:

Here's a link to the video. I'll go through my phone and see if I have anything else to post, but I think that's all I've got.

P.S. I'll pick up my bracer next time I'm in town.
