 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I would love to try again to do some demos,We tried last year but the rain put a damper on things,
I would like to see,Napping of course,making pine pitch glue,string making,Fire building weather
permitting,chasing growth ring,bow lay out,I know we will all be doing this stuff all the time but would like to set up a time and try this again.So everyone would know when and where. I liked
the trimming feathers with a hot stick,don't remember who was doing that but thought that was cool and something good to show.What do yall think,this is an event as much for yall as it is for TwinOaks,and we have some of the most talented people I know of anywhere with this kind of
stuff ,We can show ,[not to put them down] more high tek glass/carbon guys it can be pretty simple.Just want to share and maybe ,just maybe bring a few around. :) ;)

I think Pappy is making an excellant point. Like he said, this is for all of us to learn from. If any of you would like to give a demo of anything at all, I'm sure it would be appreciated and people could learn from it. Maybe if who ever is interested could let Pappy know so we can try and schedule the demo's and post the schedule during the shoot for everyone to see and make plans to watch what they're interested in.

I'd be happy to demo the proper way to eat one of Crackers ribeye's that he's bringing ;D...someone else can supply a good potato baked to a nice soft texture which I'll be happy to demonstrate the proper way to butter it, salt it, and make it disappear! ;D Oh, and maybe some type of baked bread would be nice...and then some desert would be nice... ;)

Yep! We learned that one last Classic!

Eddie, You still up to running the demo?

How about I do a demo on making and using a natural bow sealent? I have some made up but would love to make some there.  Need some pine sap or Rossin. I use Rossin and beeswax mixed together in a ratio where the pine sap and beeswax are no longer sticky. Think its a ration of about 1:2 Rossin to beeswax. Seems to seal the bow real well!
