James, it was sure good to see you, Becca, and Gabriel again. Can't believe how much that young'un has grown.  Enjoyed beating on some rocks with you again-like Pat said, the shoots just ain't been the same lately without y'all there.

James, it was great to meet you and family! Your knapping tallents are awesome! Hopefully next year it won't be quite so hectic and I'll have more time to watch and learn. I want to see you make one of them Danish daggers ;D.

Hunter, you and David would have loved it there.  Everyone was willing to help and teach anyone who wanted to learn.
  I never knapped before and with the help of Hillbilly and a couple others, made my first point while I was there.  It ain't perfect, but I'll have it on the end of one of my cane arrows this fall.
 You both should make plans to try to make it down some time.  I know it would be an event you would look forward to every year after.  Saw Filer

Just to add to all of the good reports, I, too, enjoyed the Tennessee Classic once again.  Although I missed out on the nightly knap-ins, I thoroughly enjoyed making bows, hearing my first attempt, "The Knotty Girl" blow up and making a nice bow out of an elm stave I bought from SawFiler.  Pappy, Greg, and all the Twin Oaks boys and girls really know how to put on a great event.  To those of you around the country who have never been to this event, you are missing out on one of the great bow-building events in the U. S.  It was nice to get to meet Mullet, JP, Cowboy, Pat B, and all the other guys that I have been reading posts from all of these years.  I promise to be a more active contributor to the message board.
