Got some pic's for yall from the club Saturday. Hanna's pup "Hank" is reunited with momma, some great cookin' from Grant "CastIron" of a dish he called Mexican Lazagna...it was good. Finally, proof that I'm not the only one that eats down at the club regardless of what Pappy has tried to lead yall to believe!

Poor Sadie waiting in vain for Pappy to share...

Ha d a great weekend,got more done than I had planed,Got to see Hank,one of Hannah's
pups,man that thing is growing.I also got some pictures of my IW bow and broke my little Persimmon bow,the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

. I also got my Cain arrows shooting good,They were all over spined and I found by scrapping the walls a little in the middle
2/3rd of the shaft I could bring the spine down and get the all about the same.I guess if it was really thin wall you might not be able to do that but with mine it worked great.I also built 4 shoot arrows out of Sour wood I have had for 2 or 3 years,I liked working with the better than Cain.
They were easy to straighten and with a small hand plane they were easy to adjust the spine.I
mounted trade points on 3 and a 160 ACE on the other and they shoot great.We also eat good as usually.Sunday Beau and Christina came over for supper and to say goodbye.They are leaving for
Wyoming Tuesday so it was a happy and also sad time.Here are some pictures. The first few pictures was of and old wine rack,I mounted it on the cealing of the archery shop to hold a lot of my bows.
It worke great.Also my first shoot arrow.Life is good.

Some more of the bow work,Hank is just like Hannah he like to lay right under the work bench and get the shavings all over him.Allison got the bow string ,she had it sanded slick.Done a good job.

Have you pick me out a good stave yet. Also, the way you guys eat, what food should I bring down, more deer summer sausage , let me know. I'll call you the day before I leave.

I know you don't need to be reminded, but you sure are a blessed man to have a place like that to get away to.

Life's good down here in hot, humid Louisana. Had a few minutes to get on the net so I thought I'd drop a line to check in. Getting the boys ready for the deployment so it's busy. I've seen some deer and some huge hogs down here. Unfortunatly, I don't have my bow so no rosted hog this trip. Hope everyone is doing well. Here are a few pics from the sweaty part of the earth.
