Thanks so much to all who attended; Bill, Greg and his son, Tracy and his son, and David. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to drive to my house for some bow work. Despite the heat and humidity we had a great time. We did some shooting, some bow and arrow work, ate some good food, drank lots and lots of water, and tried out the forge until Greg ruined my blow dryer. I was hoping more people could attend but this is a busy time of the year. We decided to move next years gathering to early December. It will be cooler and hopefully not as busy for everyone. I was glad Tracy and Greg's sons came with them. They are some fine young men. You can tell they have been raised right.
I took a few pictures of the fun. Hopefully Greg can post some more.

Every time I see Greg he brings me some sort of dead critters. This time it was a couple of great looking snakes.

Greg volunteered to light the wood grill using a broken arrow fire drill. He had big flames in just a few seconds.
Bill brought me a dozen arrows for a trade. I've admired Bill's arrows for a few years now and I decided I needed a set. He does amazing work.
