Looks like you all had a great time. Thanks for all the pics.

I had full intentions of making it down this year but surgery in May put me back a little. Haven't even been able to shoot a bow in the last 75 days. It's tough just watching them hang on the wall.

Bob, I still have that great bamboo back/belly longbow that you made. Wished I could have met you in person.

I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

it was a great mojam...wish everyone could have made it...ended up send Mudd home with a skinny hickory backed Ipe to fulfill his ELB desire... and my friend Sal went home with a sinew backed osage static recurve... trying to make some room around here... :)  bamboo backed bamboo is a special shooting bow for sure... that's what I shot in the clout and long shoot this year...too much fun!
Everyone needs to mark their calendar for next year!

I agree bob! Mines marked already. Im gonna bring some rope next year. We'll shoot some of Kerry's bows. Lol I was glad to see the big turnout this year, but like you, wish more people would post about it. The Marshall bowhunters are excellent hosts with two free ranges, free ice, cheap tasty eats, and just an awesome place to meet. Thanks to all who helped work over the weekend to make it so great for the rest of us. The people that attend mojam are some of my closest friends even though I only get to see them once a year. If I had to spend a week in hot weather that would be my group.
You better make it again next year bob! I'm looking forward to shooting more of your bows and drinking more of your wine!

Thanks again for posting more pictures Dave. :)
It would be nice to hear from some of the other folks who were at Mojam, especially the first timers, and get some fresh insights and impressions. With so many folks there and so much going on it is often hard to find a balance of visiting, building , helping , shooting, shopping, resting, etc.
ONE of these years I still plan to sit at the knapping site and learn how to make a point. Yep, one of these years... ;D

Glad everyone had a good time and thanx again for all the help.  I cooked a BBQ contest this past weekend and had to wear a sweatshirt and my stocking cap.  The high temperature today is 76.  Missed the mojam by one week.  Maybe next year.  Keith

Keith - no kidding, we had a low of 52 a couple of days ago. So close yet so far away. Do you think we would know how to act at MoJAM in cool temperatures? Seems like ya gotta sweat while makin' shavins at the pavillion.  :)

Had a great time loved the campsite, loved the weather :-).
thanks so much for all your hospitality, and all your patience with all my dumb questions. Thank you Marshall bowhunters for putting on a great event.

Here's my favorite PIC from MOJAM this year.  This is DVSHunter, aka Dave, who did an awesome job both providing XXX hooch and teaching the finer points of primitive bowyering.  Note the pencil stored in the beard.  At one point he had hidden in there a pencil, a tape line, and a carpenter's square!
