3rd Annual Wright City MO gathering(March 2,3,4 2018)

[bowwood]

The dates for the 3rd annual primitive gathering in Wright City MO @ The Blind Archer Bow Co. & Mule Ranch have been set. The first weekend in March,,,2,3,4th Last year we had great weather so we are gonna try our luck again. Whatever your vice is whether bowbuilding, arrowsmithing, knapping, firestarting or building tom-tom drum from a log,,,bring it. I think last year we had about 18-20 participants and I think we are able to accomodate a few more. As for accomodations I have 18ac for primitive or camper camping, there are several reasonably priced motels within 10minutes away and we have been known to throw cots up in the shop.  I have an Airstream that will be setup and a pop-up camper. The shop has heat and tools, bandsaw, 48"beltsander. There is a 15-18 target archery range(some 3d's and some bag targets that you can shoot at your leisure. We do try to do a quick somewhat organized shoot over the weekend. If you would like to bring tools feel free. Any questions or comments please ask. Other than that I will let the past attendees chime in.

Had a great time last year and was looking forward to it this year! But sometimes it dosent always work out . Maybe run into you before mojam this year !

[Dvshunter]

Thats a bummer andy. Wyatt didnt spill the beans and your just covering for him are you? Lol. I need some supplies to.

[feathersnwood]

I know been trying to figure this Out last year only had 2 kids sign up already have 10 signed up!! No he didn’t spill the beans ( somethings you just can’t learn in school) ! Let me know what you need ! Expanded alittle but more this year.

I will be there, Lord willing and the creek don't rise! Started a new job a few weeks ago but taking a day shouldn't be a problem.  So I plan to come in on either Thursday night or Friday morning.  Depends on if they are calling for any plywood or not. 

Its a great time guys,  so if your not busy that weekend you won't be sorry.  The Rackley family are great host and you are likely to be well fed!

Andy,  I sure hate to hear that you won't be able to make it bud.  I was hoping you might be able to test fire a bow for me.  That is if it stayes together till then,  lol!

Dave,  do you still have one of those rooms available?

Sure can't wait to see everyone,  really, really, looking forward to this one! Lots of things have changed for me since last year.
