My questions sounds stupid: who is Marshall and where will the challenge take place? Where can I read about it?

Thanks, I feared it might have something to do with Joseph Marshall III from Rosebud Reservation, but he is not an expert in archery anyway - as I have found out in the meantime. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s?k=joseph+marshall

Five years ago he accepted my order for bow, arrows, quiver and bow case plus a deposit in the amount of $ 750. Two years later he told me that he "has no time to make the items but he would refund me". Which he never did, he kept my money. I'm still waiting for the refund.

I decided it was time to get busy making some tiny arrows.  On my way home tonight I went on a supply run to hillbilly heaven, aka walmart.  I picked up a couple packs of bamboo cake decorating rods.  On my way back through the store I wondered down the camping isle to check out some stuff for the Classic when something caught my eye.  It was bamboo grill skewers.  Both are solid bamboo.  The cake rods are  1/4" x 12" long and cost $2 a pack.  The grill skewers are 13/64" x 32" long and were only $0.88 a pack.  I'm going to make some out of both and see how it works.  An empty .22 shell casing fits over the skewers nicely.






Not a bad haul for under $6.

Self nocks? Such small diameter!

I might try burning the nocks in with a heavy paper clip and a torch.

A sinew wrap should protect the self nock even on a skewer.
