Pray the weather improves. Looks nasty so far, but it can change.

I will have a couple elm staves and other odds and ends for the trade blanket.

Here's hoping for good weather.

That sounds good to me Clint,  hopefully I'll have something to add to the blanket. Maybe some feathers?

Feathers are always a hot commodity Pat-trick.

Hey Mike AKA knoll I know you're into custom slingshots I was wondering if you could bring a couple along. I would love to check them out. I grew up with a slingshot my hand but all I ever had was the Marksman from the store. Never seen a custom one in person

See what I can cobble together.

Have not shot a ss in months. Gave away the "interesting" ones. Pearl, Lebhuntfish, Onebow, & DVS have one. Maybe some others. Will try to get couple done and bring 'em along.

I'll definitely have some feathers with me then pea-rl.
I'll also have the slingshot that Mike made me as well.
Mike, did you ever put new bands on the one I broke at Erics house?

Thats ok buddy,  it's kinda contagious. I forget to put my boots on the other morning. I was headed to work with my house shoes on!  :laugh:

I think it was a Walnut ss with a ergonomically shaped handle.

I have the one Mike gave me, but it needs a new band. I have plenty of that to replace it. I also made one that is crazy powerful. I did a lot of tinkering with band width and length. Eventually I got her to shoot a 3/8" bearing through several softener salt bags. Im certain it would kill any small game I come across with ease. I yank that sucker right back to 29"! WOW

Has anyone used any of the mini hill cane for arrows I sent with Clint?

I gave it to Guy at the Classic Pat.  I know he was wanting to try it out.  I'm not sure if he has yet.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

its beginning to dry enough to stay where you put it
the ones that seam to be the right spine are hard to make nocks on becuase of the small diam., but shoot good
