is this the one at algonquin archers? yeah, should be, Jamie, right? I belive you met my pal drew at that native american museum thingy. I've been looking forward to this meet for a long time, can't wait, I hope to gain a lot of knowlage ;D I have some black locust i'd like to try my hand at with guidance, not to mention a red oak board bow i'm in the prosess of tillering. oh, and flint knapping. I was told you wanted to trade for newmanskill chert from upsate new york, I think I still have some left, somewhere.

When did the hockey game break out here? :)

I'll be there Saturday morning early, and although I can't stay overnight, Sunday I'll be back with two friends and their son. All of us are looking forward to this event. This will be my third year running.
