We had a great time and the cool weather was also a big plus this year. As always it was good to see old friends and make some new ones .
Sam, it was a pleasure meeting and talking with you Sir. I hope you get to feeling better and we'll see you and everyone else next year.
Thanks again to Keith and everyone else in Marshall for putting on such a great event.

Thanks to all who make this gathering possible and such a success. The weather was simply outstanding. Can't recall having such nice weather, in mid-Missouri in mid-July. 

It is great to see old friends, make new ones and simply enjoy hanging out with some of the most talented bowyers around these parts.

It's like a tune-up on the old bow making spirit and refreshing the batteries that will have to last till nest year.

Hoping to see all of you once again, same time, next year.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the festivities once again.  We all go in different directions, then meet up again at camp and compare notes.  Really nice camping with Paul and crew, sharing camp duties like cooking and ice retrieval, having social time and heckling passers by.  We've declared ourselves the WalMart greeters of MOJAM.  Have your receipts handy when you leave, just sayin'.

Thats exactly right Dan, my interest gets renewed each time I go.  This year was no exception.

Scored a cool old archery book called The Archers Craft at the auction, turns out its a 1951 publication and is an interesting read so far.  The older I get the more I appreciate old stuff.

Hey SAM - I - AM and others that may have missed out on T-Shirts. The Marshall Bow Hunters Facebook Page just posted that there are a few available. You don't have to facebook to see the page, it's public. There is a link to the facebook page from the Marshall Bow Hunters website. Hope this helps.

I just wanted to thank Paul and everyone else who helped make me feel so welcome this year at my first MOJam.  It was a great time and I'm already thinking about what I'm going to bring next year.  :)  Sorry I didn't get a chance to run through the 3D course with you Sam, I was trying to make it back in time.

No problem Chas, we'll do it next year.  And thanks Gifford for the heads up on the T's.

It was a pleasure meeting you Chas. Glad you had a good time. We'll "reserve" the spot for you and Sam next year. :D

Did anyone else notice that they spelled Missouri wrong on the t-shirts?  It has 3 S's

Yep, that was the first thing I noticed!      "Misssouri"

Missouri, where all the best wood is! Well maybe not the straightest!

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

I have a thought but I want to make a take down! I'm thinking a rawhide backed hickory with an Osage self bow.
