You guys might want to consider going to the KY Tradfest in Mercer County, the first weekend in April?  There's free camping, many vendors and bowyers, a 40 target 3d shoot.  Gene Wensel will be a guest speaker on Saturday evening...

what do you all do there could you further explain

[wapiti1997]

The Tradfest is an annual bow shoot, gathering of traditional archers that attracts shooters and vendors from all over the country.  There are novelty shoots, like areals and long shots as welll as a 3d range.

There will be bowyers as well as knappers there.

It's in Mercer County between Harrodsburg and Perryville at the Mercer County Fish and Game Club.

I'm in if I ain't working. Forest fire season will be in full swing but if it's a wet weekend I can make it. I am south of richmond in Williamsburg. I have staves, stuff strings, a dowel maker and other arrow building stuff. I have a couple targets I could bring too. But it all depends on work and that depends on the weather and fires.

Hey just joined this site. I have been trying to get a group together for people around Louisville, Ky. I am new to making bows and things myself and wanted to start something for people to show off our work as well as help each other if we need it. I called it Louisville Primitive Technology Society, I am also going to put a post on here about it. Like the page on facebook just search "Louisville Primitive Technology Society" or send me an email at LouisvillePTS@gmail.com. Hope to hear from some of yall about it.

I know this an old post but if there's still any interest I would like to join in on the fun. Scottsburg Indiana (30 minutes north of Louisville) will have a 3 day traditional archery event May 16-18 2014. There are always some bowmakers and knappers at this event. You would be welcome to join in.

Is anybody still interested in getting together sometime? I am located just south of Louisville in Bullitt County.  Also I am looking for dried staves, does anyone local to me have any? Thanks

Hey guys, I'm not trying to hijack a Louisville gathering of bow makers, but I just thought I'd throw this out there.  It seems I'm pretty much centrally located (about an 1 1/2 to 2 hours) from most of the folks who has responded to this threat.  I wouldn't mind hosting a gathering here.  I have a 16x20 workshop, a 50 acre farm for camping and shooting, two 3-D target with 4 shooting stations and could bushhog more station if anyone has more 3-D targets to bring. I have a guest cottage with 2 beds and floor space.  We could make a weekend of it.  Mid-March to mid-April would work for me.

May I move in?
