Loyd, thank you for giving my granddaughter a kids bow. She kept asking "Do I get to keep it?" and was really excited to shoot it.  Thank you!

Wow, that photo barrage was like a flash back. Super good job of documenting many fond memories. I can not say enough about how fine these guys are in person. I've been going to Ojam for about 9yrs now and we always have a blast, but even with the stifling heat, I think I liked this better. I will definitely be back next year and with reinforcements. I already have 3 guys committed.
 
I think that I may have to change my name to " The Grand Loser" after causing my team to forfeit right before the finals of the jug shoot. I think we might have won it to. Dave and Mike were carrying my sorry arse before I had a brain fart and yanked my arrow out of the jug. I'm glad someone caught me on camera so I can relive the agony and sorrow. I will say both Dave and Mike were very gracious about it and it should give them some fodder for next year. I better chain my cooler to a tree or I might end up like Mike did.

It was almost like a mini Tennesee classic with the Pavilion and bows being made into the wee hours every night just not as large. Only thing was missing was some of that South Carolina apple pie.

Dave is a machine, he never stops helping people and Patrick is not far behind either. Those two guys really went out of their way to help the new people. I am sure there were others too and I don't want to say there isn't, they just stuck out in my mind as being all over the place teaching.
My dear friend Jon is the best ever and one of the most versatile and excellent bowmakers you will ever have the privilege to be around. 3 Cheers for you guys.   Danny

Danny, it"ll be a treat to have ya back!

Great pictures Neal, it really makes me want to make it there. Patrick I promise I'll get there someday but it might not be till I retire. It's right during our wheat harvest, but I sure enjoy all the stories and pictures. It's all the people that really make these events so great.

Another great set of pictures - thanks Neil for posting them. A memory in each and every one.

[lebhuntfish]

Not a problem BJ,  I know how the farm keeps you tied down.

Danny, it was good to see you again! Teaching and passing it on is my favorite part of mojam! I was blessed to be helped a lot at my first couple of times there.  Now all I want to do is pay it forward.

Dave and Patrick work their butts off at MoJam helping ANYONE that shows up and asks for help... Eric,John,  NoNose, and several others help anyone that asks as well... the rest of us just watch in amazement and totally enjoy the entire experience... but I do promise ANYONE that shows up ... you will receive FREE help any time you need it at MoJam... we are not haters... we are lovers of everything that is traditional Archery... next year is a very special 20th anniversary year... everyone needs to come enjoy what is offered... you will return.  Please put it on your calendars NOW... I plan to be their a week next year... I will ask my wife later.    One of my favorite new MoJam toys is the hand forged meat cleaver made by John Murray... the "war bow guy"... thanks John!

[PaulN/KS]

Looks good Bob. 

[Bob Barnes]

thanks Paul... it's not hard to make John's blacksmith work look good.  Patrick also helped by providing a nice pattern for my new caul... finished it earlier today...
