why dont we have one? we need to get one set up. i know we dont have a lot of bowyers out here but theres enough to make it happen. i know theres plenty of bowyers that arent online that often as well.
-
where ya gonna cut your wood jordan....yuk yuk >:D
-
heck jordo, your the closest one I know of to me
-
well lassen volcanic national park is close to oregon. if we get the oregon guys to come down we can reserve a group camp site and have 10-25 people there. its five hours from me, about two hours from you and 6 from Bend Oregon. we'd all have to drive a ways but it can work.
-
man if I was them Oregon boys i'd make us come to them :laugh:
-
thats why we have to get it started man lol
-
I'm down
-
There is a little gathering in early summer we do, but more is always better I do believe! I would be more than happy to help organize another event either in the forests of Mt Hood or the far southern forests of Soda Mountain.
-
mt hood is only two hours away from where i am.

Lol..... :laugh:...I'm a stickler for correct geographic names....what your referring too is actually called Hood Mountain...not mount hood....wylden is referring to the famed and highest peak in Oregon (north Oregon and east of portland) called Mt Hood.... ;) ..now ya know,n ya won't find yourself the only bowyer there scratching your head wondering where everyone else is :laugh:
-
im still correct lol haha in a way. and im just gonna assume when he says "far southern forest of soda mountain" he doesnt mean the one in far southern california
-
Fyi The Oregon boys used to(still do? ? ) meet in centralish Oregon near sisters? Still a bit longish for you tho....
Why not contact everyone ya know and organize it yourself? Or plan it during and at one of your regional trad shoots? That works for a lot of folks as well as there is also a course to shoot as well...plus its a good intro and demonstration for those ripe for the pickings to turn into your fellow bowyer ;) ..most glass guys are a hair away from trying to make there own bow ya know ;)
-
longish? lol thats heeeelllllllaaaa far.
i gotta get out to the archery range by my house, only a few miles away and ive never been.
-
isn't there one up around Bend in the spring,i think keenan had something to do with it
-

I am in centralish Oklahoma at Ojam right now. FANTASTIC! Hundreds of bowyers making shavings, talking bow and salivating over my yew ;-) bowman, we will be coming up the coast on the 1 in about 2 weeks if you want to do a mini-jam for a day or two.

Yeah man. That'd be great! Pm me

I would love to make it to sisters one year. I'm damn near in Utah, so it's a bit of a drive. I'm heading to Oregon this summer for a wedding though. My wife's cousin is a big wheels archer that worked at a shop in Oregon city for a spell. I've been trying to convert him for a while now. I'll bring some bows to his wedding and we will see. Maybe I'll even make him one for a wedding gift. That's not till August though.
-
Not sure where my family will be in August, but if we are pitched near Oregon City, you are welcome to come to the tipi and we can make shavings and go stumping. Heck, anyone is welcome, wherever we are.

Don't give up on this dream, folks! We need more of these events around the country! Be evangelical about it, get the word out!
