I could be on easy street if I end up going alone. I will sleep right in the back of my truck and "camp" will be a breeze! I took Friday off, so I may end up getting there Thursday night, or early Friday morning. I have a solar shower now so I can get cleaned up better over extended stays, Im a stickler about be sweaty and nasty!

Man that's like twice now I have to agree with Pearly !
The Marshall Primitive Archery Rendezvous is generally good medicine , it has helped me out a few times for sure !

Well, I'm not an expert bowyer so I can't add much to the bow building part BUT:

1. I've made a small charcoal 'oven' that I use to straighten bamboo for arrows. I'm bringing that and will set it up on Saturday (sometime) for people to use (I'm also bringing some straightening tools).

2. I use Japanese stones to sharpen things and will bring them if anyone wants to learn on them.
If you've got stones that are dished and need to be flattened, I'm bringing my flattening kit but am low on 220 wet/dry Emory cloth.

3. I also have some pine pitch on a stick if people want to trade for it.

Thanks and see folks at Marshall.

Note for any beer drinkers: Marshall is the home of Dark Horse Brewery, one of the best micro-breweries in Michigan.

Im raring to go myself Guy! Plan on me donating something to the potluck, cash or food or help.

As of now Im a going alone. Thats not all bad because now I can sleep in my truck bed and not mess with a tent. Easy in - easy out! I have 5 Hill canes put together I want to test fire all weekend. Hippy gave them to me at the Classic.

MWirwicki · « **Reply #131 on:** May 16, 2013, 05:43:21 pm »

Guy, I know we'll have something for the pot-luck. What did you have in mind for the meat dish?

blackhawk · « **Reply #132 on:** May 16, 2013, 10:06:52 pm »

I'll try to contribute something to the meal...were probably gonna bring marinade deer steaks,tenderloins,n back straps baby..mmmmm...and maybe something something for the raffle table...

Me and Blake(my 4 year old son) are still working on and chipping away at making his first real bow,n trying to have it finished before we leave so he can shoot it there

For the sat meal we are going to try to get some money together for pulled pork
We will talk it over Thursday and Friday !
Most of the old timers at Marshall don't want to bring food to share they would rather donate money . I thought we would give it a try . If it works out we will turn it into a full fledged hog roast next year !
If not we will go back to just sharing with each other in camp !
I am also open to a boil on Thursday eve. if others want to, I have my 30 gal turkey cooker packed and ready to roll !
In fact almost every thing is packed !
The yard at Wilder creek is mowed and most of the coarse is cleaned up !
Nearly ready to rumble !
Bring some broad heads we are going to blast some of the old 2D targets apart, with a 50-50 shoot for cash ! on the short coarse !
Are We there yet !!

Just got a call from a flintknapper friend who wants to come down to Marshall and set up to sell some points and knives. He asked if there was a set up fee.

For those in the know: Is there any kind of fee for someone that wants to set up a table to sell arrowheads and flint knives?

If so, how much?
