Thanks so much to all who attended; Bill, Greg and his son, Tracy and his son, and David.  I really appreciate you guys taking the time to drive to my house for some bow work.  Despite the heat and humidity we had a great time.  We did some shooting, some bow and arrow work, ate some good food, drank lots and lots of water, and tried out the forge until Greg ruined my blow dryer.  I was hoping more people could attend but this is a busy time of the year.  We decided to move next years gathering to early December.  It will be cooler and hopefully not as busy for everyone.  I was glad Tracy and Greg's sons came with them.  They are some fine young men.   You can tell they have been raised right.

I took a few pictures of the fun.  Hopefully Greg can post some more. 

Greg cooking some tailgate breakfast.




Bill working on some tree hugger arrows.




Every time I see Greg he brings me some sort of dead critters.  This time it was a couple of great looking snakes.




Greg and Zach trying to stay cool in front of the fan.




Bill doing some bow work.




Tracy and Greg testing out a bow.






Zach sneaking in some extra practice.




Some more bow work




Greg volunteered to light the wood grill using a broken arrow fire drill.  He had big flames in just a few seconds. 




Bill brought me a dozen arrows for a trade.  I've admired Bill's arrows for a few years now and I decided I needed a set.  He does amazing work.

Thanks Clint! Nate and I had a great time hanging out with everyone. We tried to come up with a name all the way home with no luck.

Illinois plates are always welcome Paul. 


Glad you were able to make it Tracy.  Next time Nate needs to bring a bow to shoot.  Good luck with the car repairs tomorrow.

Generally I'd say no Guy.  But in your case I'll gladly make an exception.  I'll make sure you guys know about it next year.

You have a real pretty place there Clintster, looks like lots of fun and work got accomplished even with that heat. Beautiful arrows I can't hardly wait to get mine now. Aren't there any steel drums on your place😜

No steel drums on our place.  And even if there were, Bills arrows will never be shot at one.

OH Well...................

But, these types of gatherings really pumps me up and gets the bow and arrow jucies flowing.  I'd been in a little dry spell as far as bow building, but today got me going again big time......
I started working on a buckthorn stave Greg aka Badly Bent, gifted me about two or three Classic's ago.  First time I've worked this wood.  It really gets my interests. Very hard wood, light in the hand and nice to work.  Knots don't seam to effect the woods ability to bend. And the salmon colored wood really stands out on the floor of an Osage shop. :).  Can't wait to work on it some more.
Again.... Thanks Clint for having us out and getting my "want to" back.....
