Knoll, bring whatever you want.  We have discovered that the shame and ridicule that a non-primitive bow shooter endures greatly increases the chances of producing a wonderful stick bow in record time.  Keith

Knoll - most of us have made our bows however, there will be likely be a number of bows others have built and are for sale or trade. Some are target weight bows and others are hunting weight. You may be surprised at what you can find.

Dan, Larry is right...you need to save us a place for 3 vehicles, which will be enough for the tents and such.  If there is an electrical plug withing a couple of hundred feet...that would be nice too...I'll bring cords and a fan or 2...

Larry, Bob, I plan to leave after the caffeine takes hold. However, we know how plans can awry.  :) It will be good see you all.

re: electric outlet, I'll toss in an electric extension cord.

Guess we won't be having 54 degrees like we did this morning.

Bob I think there are a few reflexes cauls tbere. I am bringing my reflex de flex  again for all to use. I am probably gonna make an osage run one day two and go get a log to mess with. I will be there in 11 days so I'll have some time early to piddle.  I am also bringing two benches because 8 think this is going to be a big year.

Sounds good bob. I'm leaving my wife at home until late probably Thursday morning.  It will just be me and the boys.  I'm trying my best to get some bows finished so I have something new to shoot all week. Also wish I had time to make some arrows but it looks like I'm running out of time. Side work is starting Monday evening so 16 hour days until mojam are in my future.  Hurry up week.

Arrows are my problem as well. I'm pretty new to this stuff and I now have a bow that I made that I need to do a little more weight removal in the tips and handle areas on. I only have one arrow that a friend gave me. I have some bamboo garden stakes that I have straightened but none that are finished.

I would love to do some shooting but...

I have a couple of dozen arrows I am wanting to sell and there will be others with arrows also.  With that said one arrow is plenty if you always hit the target.  lol.  Forecast is for 100 degree plus heat index tomorrow.  MoJam must be close.   Keith
