This is a great event that needs more shooters.  We have excellent facilities with RV hookups and an air conditioned building with showers.  A small group of us usually come a day or 2 early to build bows...

I will have to mark this on my Calendar seeing how this is right down the road from me, 20 minutes away from home.

I had no idea... I talked to you about the lamp at MoJam.  It will be great to see you there.

Robert Powell came over yesterday and we talked about doing a little bit of flight shooting at the shoot this year... it should be fun.

If you do the flight shoot what are the rules going to be for it?  I'm faced with the fact that I will not be able to complete with the 26" draw arrows.

we could do like some did at MoJam, and just measure the bows draw weight at your draw and only pull that far.  There were a few guys that measured at 26" and 27" and they shot arrows only drawn that far.  This will likely be a trail run more for fun than anything else.

That's fine but when I have a draw length of 34" means my bow is no where close to full draw, and output.

I misunderstood...I knew that a guy your size would have a long draw.  The only thing I might have that's long would be bamboo...but maybe dowel rods would make a long shaft for you?  I never knew anyone that had arrows that long.

I have a couple bamboo arrows, and supplies to build some dogwood arrows that will not flex like the bamboo arrows do. I just have to get Nose to help me.
