Jon laying out the days agenda and Gary doing the arrow demo and some history about how the arrow has evolved. Then getting started,we let them line up and pick a stave by number,then checked each for draw length and strength. Then each took 3 boy to a work area.

Busy keeping up with 3 at a time .

Some good shooting and some bad.

Sweet pee shows up for support and to make them young men loose concentration on bow building. Several showed up that didn't think they were good enough to help with the bows so they went and cut wood getting ready for the up coming events,great bunch we have. Will's boo bow on the tiller tree after we were through with the scouts.
