I plane to have cut and split 1000 Osage staves before i PCS to Ft Campbell..
When you get to Ft. Campbell...come visit us at Twin Oaks, a large percentage of Clarksvilles population is due to Ft. Campbell.

Help finish a bow to auction during the Tn. Classic.
Complete a Ryano recurve with a "good" outcome this time. :)
Sinew back an osage bow.
Make a bow out of a dogwood stave I have.
Cut some elm to have for future bow projects (haven't used elm yet).
Rough in staves for the Tn. Classic.
Finish making strings for the Tn. Classic (about 1/4 of the way there now).
Make a character bow of some type.

I can see the world supply of primitive bows should be increasing by leaps and bounds. Not to mention the supply of overweight crossbows.    Ron

build a bow from a stave taken from a living tree without killing the tree and using only paleolithic tools. :o

1. Finish the bow projects that I have for my nephew and daughter
2. Make knives for my friends Kris and Barry
3. Start and finish the boo backed ipe bow for me
4. Do justice to the gifts from pappy by making a first class osage selfbow with cane arrows to take my first BIG game animal with bow and arrow
5. Introduce ONE new person to traditional archery (same as every year)
6. Shoot more.....miss less....enjoy the company of the friends I have made
