That's great Gary. Bear this is LIFE

Steve good luck with getting an early start
with Bro Dan involved.

I should be there by the time yall are.I am leaving here at about 8 am.I have to go home and pick up some signs Miss Joanie is working on for registration/change for the shoot and a few more supplies and then I will head that way,should be there by 9 or 10. Been there every evening this week till dark getting things in shape so I am ready for some R&R myself.

I have been getting some good responce so this should be a good/fun event to kick off our year at TwinOaks. The weather is a little ify but I know we have had worse.

Any one that way there for the 13th Classic can attest to that.

Hope yall have a good one, see ya Monday.

Life is Good.

So, a little rain shouldn't slow you guys down too much.

Another great weekend,the shoot went well,not a huge turn out,130 or so but got the ice broke for the year.Lots of Trad/Primitive folks,we may of even out numbered the wheel folks.12 in selfbow alone which is great for an open shoot.
Beautiful Saturday ,Sunday cold and a little wet but overall it was good weather,sure could have been a lot worse. Had some fun in the shop and around the fire as we always do.Hope yall had a good one also.Here are some pictures of the fun.

First a Black walnut stave I am starting on. My girl Sadie has gotten herself in trouble AGAIN.

Miss Joanie ant real happy with me on this one.

My trade bow ready to start tillering. Bear/Steve[seabass] and Brother Dan showed up Friday evening,great to see them.
