I went to MOJAM Saturday and was ready for a lot of heat. In the morning it was rainy and cooler. I was able to take 2 first timers along.
I met a very nice young man in the shelter house. I can't hear out of my left ear so I can't remember what he goes by on here. He was
working on a walnut stave. Picked up a piece of ERC from him and wanted to make sure of a thank you from me. Hard to find a nicer
young man. We need more like him. Primitive Archers are still the best in my book.

Primitive archers and bow makers are some of the best people I know. Jawge

Your welcome, I hope it's something you can use, I hope to see it bending. MoJam was full of great people willing to help out and give advice. I'm glad I went and got to connect faces with the names I see on here.

AMEN to all of the above and I can stoutly affirm that Mr. Catcher is one of the finest sort you are likely ever to find anywhere...
...with the exception of the fact that his hard work and dedication make me look like the slacker I likely am, He's an all around treat of a fellow to meet, talk with, and work along side.

I wish I could of had more time there. My friends that were with me kind of tired out too soon.
I also had to be some where at 4. Next year :P

Agreed, thanks for the black locust stave catcher! I can't wait to get to whittling on it! Patrick

Patrick,
I do not know if I got around to where you were. We had tan tee shirts from the primitive skills class I
teach at my church. Primitive Pathways.

I seen you dog, but never got the chance to meet you. I was the bigger fella shooting through the chronograph. Patrick

It's not just the heat. It is also the humidity. I spent July-September at Ft Leonard Wood 1972. Hot and humid...a real character builder LOL...for this Northern bow. Jawge

Patrick I'm surprised that chrono survived! Your mentee is supposed to shoot between the rods, not into them!! ;D :P

I actually attended Mo Jam this year a lot of great guys were there an helped me build my first it wasn't the 55lbs that I originally wanted but it's so awesome to shoot something I built

Jawge, We gotta get you back to MO again soon. Id love to meet you. I'm pretty sure I met almost everyone at mojam at one point or another. Hopefully I can remember all your names. Remember I live near st. Louis if any of you ever want to build I have two benches in the garage.

You old guys and your benches ;)

I don't remember you buddy, what is your first name? And what was you working on? Patrick

Sleek - Not everybody thinks a bow must be built while standing on their head in the rain with nothing but a dull K-Bar and a sharp rock! In fact, prior to meeting you, I'd have sworn that nobody was of such an opinion! You beat a bow out of Osage better than many of us manage to finesse one out!

Funny.... I dont recall using a sharp rock >:D and I dont know about that statement, many fine bows were built while I there and probably faster than mine. I was happy to be around such tallent. It was certainly good to hang out with youguys and thanks again for putting me up for the night. I appreciate that.
