Thank you Dave. This bow is rapidly becoming my favorite shooter. I never realized just how sweet yew wood is as a selfbow. I could get used to this stuff.  :)

That's right we were going to do that. I'm game but the weather will start getting iffy on the westside now. Maybe we should try to pull together something on your side of the mountains?

I talked to Brian a while back and he mentioned that his grandma had a farm with a large barn, maybe that would work. it will start getting cold over here for camping out. I am working on a cabin out of chiloquin which would make a cool place for a gathering but it is a bit far for most. we bought it this summer and have been working on it almost every weekend remodeling it.  Keenan and I are excited for the next one in may. same place would be good. been feelling the urge to start building stuff, but all my spare time is consumed on the cabin. Keenan and I are thinking about a late hunt campout with the Tipi, should be interesting...

That gathering in May on again? If so I will be there this year. Sounds like it was a blast!

DT, last I heard the east side folks are planning on holding a gathering in May. And I've heard through the grapevine that they have some surprises waiting for us west-side guys when the flight-shooting starts  :o

I may be able to add some surprises if they are into flight shooting. How about a 100# longbow?  ;D

 ;) ;) We are planning around the middle of May like last year. Sounds like we may have an even better turn out on this next one and trying to plan out more activities. Of coarse there will have to be a great prize for whoever bags the first turkey. ;)
  I am still remembering waking to the sound of gobbles ;)
