Carbon is ok to shoot the 3D course. The several shooting competitions require wood.

Do any of you guys plan on doing any steam bending?  I can bring my steamer and forms if you do.  Just let me know.

Cool MI temps are looking good.

Been thinking about this with it coming up, and wasn't sure. Archery just hasn't been much on my mind the last several months. And with still having snow up here until like ... two weeks ago, I've only been out shooting a few times. No building yet.

My friend David asked me about it a couple weeks ago, and I've been thinking about it since. Pretty sure I'll make it down. Not working right now, so that can't get in the way, and it's always one of the highlights of my year so ... I guess I better hack something resembling a bow out of a hunk of wood in the next two weeks so I have a new toy to play with, grab something to work on while I'm there, and travel light.

I'll have to check in with David again and see what he's got going on. We might carpool down together.

Anyways, we'll see what the next couple weeks bring, but it's looking like a go for me.

My phone died last Wednesday. We are all hanging in there still. Looks like I will be down Tuesday around 6 and hopefully Jean comes down Thursday some time.

Looking forward to relaxing and see all of you again.

Knoll. Where I live here by the big lake it's been in the thirties the past three nights. The long term forecast looks fantastic for Marshall.

Me too Pearl

Here is what I've been working on for the raffle/auction.  It was a black locust fence rail that my grandpa cut and put up when I was 4 or 5 years old.  It should hold at least 18 bows if you double up on each peg.

Thanks!  A little history behind that piece of wood:  My grandpa fenced in a small pasture and made a barn for a pony he got for me.  That piece of black locust was part of the fence he put up that summer.  This picture was taken when were moving the barn into the pasture.  That's me trying to open the door.  That should give you an idea on how old that chunk of locust is.

Just about a week away now.  I'm debating if I leave a day early and show up on Wednesday, mid day. It'll be great to see everyone again and hopefully put a few more faces to names this year. Now I just need to get everything I want to bring to fit into the truck.

Bring it please. I have a semi snakey billet blank I want to deflex on Paulys caul and then I'll add hooks. If it works it works, if it doesn't we have more fire wood.
