I've got some 10 plus yr old Osage billets bark on if anybody wants to give them a go. Just say the word and I'll bring plenty of 36-42" pieces.

I've got 130 clay targets.  How much are we shooting?  Should I pick up another box?

Clays, let say 15 people are shooting and each shoots 1 box of shells (25) that's 375 pigeons. I have at least a 1/2 of box of clays, however many that might be. Maybe we can scavenge some unbroken birds, maybe not.  And maybe some folks will want to practice Friday  or Saturday morning before the shoot.  And, maybe some folks will want to shoot some Sunday.

 I'm thinking of set up a "pigeon range" like Brian does when we get together for our shooting match.  It would be 5 stations, 1 to the left and one to the right of the thrower. 1 station far left and down hill to give the shooter a right to left crossing shot, another station that's a mirror image to that one giving the shooter a left to right crossing shot.  AND then the pickle bucket station in front of the thrower, where the shooter gets an over the head/going away shot (0f course the pigeon is doing it's little frizbee drop at that time, also.

I've figured out how I'm going to make the scraping board out of the 12" pvc pipe.  I'm going to cut it in half length ways and make 2 scraping beam from it. Now I can only use one scraping beam at a time.  So, the second one is up for trade at the end of the gathering. So, I'm taking bids.   >:D

Thanks  D Bar, and thanks Dave for hosting this event. I don't live to far from you Dave ( Jess.Co.)  so if anyone needs anything durring the weekend I will be driving back and forth. The caul I have now is made from 2 by 6's  you tell me, I can see where 10's or 12's would work better if wanting to  use  C clamps. Any suggestions for lumber ?   Joe.

I love doing it, Joe.  Yeah, it's a little bit of work, but it's some much fun seeing my bowyer friends and meeting new ones, it all worth it.

Dave,  I am still going to try to get some T shirts made for the event if I can.  At this point, no guarantees.  I was going to try to do this as a surprise, but figured someone would end up with the wrong size.  I suppose I need to get everyone's shirt size that is going to attend.  So, let's hear em. 

XL for me.

Does anybody want to mess with some super thin ringed osage?  I'll bring some staves.  If nobody wants them we can use them for firewood.

Man this is shaping up to be one fine gathering......I'd better be ready, this will definitely give me some incentive at rehab.  At 2 1/2 weeks out of surgery, I'll be there for sure one day..............Hey Dave, if I can bum a couch to sleep on and not the back of my truck I might be able to stay two days.  :-\

Bill, we'll find a place to you to lay your head.  Plan on 2 days :)

Clint, is the thin ring osage something I could de-crown for a bamboo backed bow?
