I don't know which is the biggest overall, but the Tennessee Classic has the most from the PA boards.

when I was at MOJAM last year there were around maybe 150 people (excluding little ones and people who got dragged along for the ride ;D)

Last year we had over 500 attend OJAM, probably more like 600. I know there was over 100 selfbows made there over the 4 day event. I've not been to the Classic yet, but hope to soon.

We usually have around 400+ register for the shoot and probably a little over 500 just milling around,especially Sat . evening when it's time for the pot luck supper. ;) ;D ;D There was 38 last year registered for the selfbow challenge, but no telling how many were made a lot for sure.This is a picture of just folks from this board ,never counted them but quite a few.

  John your kind words got me thinking. Our Bowyers gathering isn't that big how ever I do believe it has the biggest hearted people that I've ever met.  To see people like Gordon, Dave C and Dave H aka(Portlandfire) and so many others come and poor out their hearts all three days helping people from sun up to sun down. Watching you help teach the youngsters the napping skills and the kids running around role playing the warriors of the past.  It seems it has become one of my favorite times of the year.
