Depends on how much time you got. With your focus and determination, I can near guarantee you would do well at it. Your biggest hurdle is gonna be finding a source for material! If you want to set down I can show you some basic, though.

Looks like we will be spending some time together Scott! I dont know if another branch off of this primitive hobby is what I need right now, but hey you only live once if your lucky.

Steve, and Pearl.  All my osage is at least a year out to dry yet.  Maybe I can have some for next year.  I will be looking around down at the classic to have something to work on while there, and maybe bring home a couple.  Just have to see how the trading and my money holds out...lol

I fully intend on bringing plenty back with me to Charlie. I have plenty now, but it goes fast around my shop and quite honestly every stave I have is a challenge. I need a dozen or so cleaner staves for statics.

Hey guys, is this event kid friendly?  Not sure if I can make it away from work yet but if I do I may tent it with my 3.5 year old.  What do you think?  Also if my wife decided to go are there hotels remotely near by?  trust me it will be better for all of us if she doesn't have to sleep in a tent.   ::)   ;)  thanks!
Thanks,

I'm planning on bringing one of PD's Clean Yeller Staves to the Classic...
Its a Roo Rawhide backed Molly with about 300 arrays through it so far...
Tried to lay down some Black Snake skins on her back around Christmas but they didn't stay on.
My first attempt with snake skins and I Botched it.   :o

PAHunter check out our web site[lot of stuff to look at plus a section with all the local motels listed with #s [twinoaksbowhunters@wordpress.com] and I would say kid friendly for sure. You may see someone drinking a beer but I can assure no one will be out of hand,we try and keep it under cover as best we can during the day, now after dark is different but still I won't allow anyone to get out of hand I promise you that. Between Kerry and Mike I can assure yall there will,be
plenty of yellow wood to go around. I have talked to Mike and will talk to Kerry and yall can help in this,please don't sell someone a stave that has never build a bow and have them come over and want in the selfbow challenge, its tough enough for a new person that has never built a bow to get one ready to shoot in a couple of days if they start with a bow blank. At very least have the ring chased if it is Osage and a bow laid out,then they have a chance in getting it shooting. :)
Some think the selfbow challenge is a class on building bows,but in truth when Gary and I thought it up,it was supposed to be ,you come build a bow and shoot the course for score,our thinking was everyone was in the same bolt.No real time to tweak or tune the bow or get use to it.If you didn't get a shooting bow you didn't meet the Challenge. Simple  ??? Anyway it is always a great time for me and I am really looking forward to it. See yall soon. :)

There are some hotels about 10-15 minutes away.  I stayed at the Holiday Inn 2 years ago and had no complaints.  Last year I stayed in a tent and had a much better time.  The place is very kid friendly also.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left
