Pearlie, you don't need to finish at Pat's, you can go on down the big hill and hit our TBOF Fall shoot which is next weekend.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Pat, I won't be able to make it this time either. I was hoping to but my dads birthday is the same time as yours and we're having a party for him Saturday. Take lots of pics and happy birthday to you!! I'll be back next year.

Really sorry to hear about Tina's mom Steve. Thinking about y'all.

Good call Eddie. Ill add that to my list. Id love to just camp across the country and hit any shoot I came across. Meanwhile Id fish every trout stream I found. Talk about Heaven on a bun.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Patty's camp-o-rama 2016 is over! We had a small crowd this year; about 8 to 10 folks showed up. One guy, Patrick(don't remember his PA handle) built a bow from scratch to low brace from I think the last Tom B stave I had(locust). Patrick worked his butt off all day Saturday removing bark and sapwood and chasing a ring, laying out and shaping the bow and tillering it out. He has a little heat correcting he still needs to do at home but he should have a nice bow when done.
 Patrick Brennan(Lil Pat) came by Saturday and he and Eric Ward did a little knapping. Other than that we all had fun, like always.
 The food was pretty good but not as good as if Tina(Mrs. Hillbilly) and Steve(Hillbilly)were here(Tina's Mom passed on Friday night or early Saturday). We are so sorry for Tina's loss!
 Randy Rowe was our musical entertainment with the Native American flutes he makes. What a beautiful sound on a clear night.
 A few folks that we were expecting didn't show up but I will see most of them next weekend at the Scheile Museum Knappin in Gastonia NC.
There was only one glitch...no pics! I forgot my camera so unless someone took pics with their phones there were none. Sorry guys. I know how everyone likes pics.  :(

Thanks for being such a great host, Pat. I really enjoyed it. I didn't take any pictures, either. I always seem to forget.

Did Patrick get any further on that locust bow?

It was great to meet you Cheney and thanks for helping Patrick with the locust bow. Patrick took the bow home to finish it up. He still had some heat straightening to do before going further.

Hi Pat,

I just wanted to let you know I made it home alive and well.  I had a great time and sure did appreciate all the help with the hickory bow and advice on the pouch.  Was fun getting up with Randy and Eric and his youngun and you and everyone else.  I had a great time!  Hope you get your camper soon and get out there on the road...especially with gas at these prices! 

For those who missed this event you really need to make it if it is offered again 'cause these kinds of get togethers are are really special!

Pat, in these days and times it is rare to have someone invite a crowd to stay for a long weekend and be so welcoming as you always are ...awesome.

Safe travels,

Rand
