Your a true friend to intervene Greg. Sometimes intervention is the only way for real help. If you can catch Him in the act with another innocent newbie it might help him to see the effect it has on everyone around him.

You guys ant right.

I am addicted there is not doubt about that,they say there is help
once you admit it,so there I have said it,

I plan on going on a benj starting today about
noon,All jokes a side I do sometime worry about Me ,I hardly have a waking moment that I ant thinking about ,bows,arrows,shooting or killing something with the above.

Now back to the
thread,it's Friday and I can hardly wait to get down to the cabin,I finished straightening the Hickory
for the Classic yesterday[ Greg] so now I am on to the trophy arrows.BigA got them fletched so now all I have to do is tie on the trade points,don't sound like much of a job ,but there are 33 of them.
Then we need to do some range work and just some general clean up to be ready.I have some new stands made for the bending forms ,so I need to get the forms attached to them and almost forgot I may need some arrows for the classic.

I also need to get an Osage stave ready for a special friend
that wants to build a bow at the Classic [no not you Tiller ] done got yours.

O course there will be some good food and I hope to get in a little shooting,need some practice so you guy/gals won't show
me up to bad,may get some pointers g from GreB.He don't like to give out all his secrats but maybe he will share a few. Hope yall have a good one also.Life is good.

I can give shooting pointers, just not very good at being able to take my own advice. But I'm working on it, that's all we can do is try...and keep a positive attitude, huh?

I'll probably try and make it down this afternoon, maybe put some points on those arrows Don gave me. Go ahead and use them before moths get to the feathers. They sure are pretty!

Knothead going to be down this weekend? I've got his knife sheath finished...

I think he will be down this evening.

and a special stave and set of 6 arrows made up for a good friend,Also got a blade mounted that Jesse gave me and it turned out nice.We also got more wood cut and the yard cleaned up.We
are getting close to being ready.This will be my last week at work for about 10 days so I can't wait.
Here are some pictures of the weekend,Life is good.

My knife finished ,arrows finished,I know no self knocks ,but I thought for who this is for ,pink knocks would be appropriate.

Nice supper and then just a little time around the fire Sat.
night with an adult beverage.Me and Knothead solve a lot of the worlds problems around the fire at night.

If someone would just take or advice,I guess the world would be just about prefect.
as it is at the farm.Life is good.See yall soon and hope yall had a great one also.

That last picture of the plate of food was mine by the way...and man was it good!

Everything is really shaping up in preparation for the Classic. I even had time to work on some turkey feathers at the club this weekend for myself. Pappy has done a great job on tweaking the hickory staves...straightening and adding some reflex. Helps a lot to have that done before hand, and allow mostly just the tillering during the Classic.

It's getting close now, and I'm really looking forward to it. Hope to have more time this year to get to know some of the PA folks.

I need to work on some feathers myself,maybe Sunday,I got 30 scrapers ready yesterday
and got the US map ready to set up.I am going to have a big map with push pins so we can get an idea where everyone in from.Seen that in PA last month and thought it would be cool to see. 3 more days after today and I will be at the cabin for 10 days,can't wait.Life really is good.
