You would love Elm Hall Guy! Somehow I get through the background check every time I go. You would be a celebrity there, although, one of many!

I'm with Ed on the primitive fire making. We could work together to try and make one. Does anyone know what materials work best for the main parts?

I'm glad to see all the  interest in the Primitive fire making.  It is something I've wanted to try to do ever since I was little kid, so hopefully we can make it happen at Elm hall!

I'll start to look up some of best woods for the different parts of the bow set up.  I figured that making the bow itself will be pretty easy.  It's The wood for the spindle and the actual lower board or fireboard that I'm not sure of.

Any suggestions?

I know Elm Hall is a great event just to far by myself and makes 2 weekends in a row in that state up north !!
a lot of things have to come together just right to get there or I would have been there many times by now

Bow drill easiest materials to use for beginners is Yucca drill on Yucca fire board  lay it on a dry piece of Shagbark Hickory bark them big scales are sturdy and tuff
for you folks that get to the Cloverdale shoot the fields around there are littered with little Geodes that are split in half already by frost they are sweet bearing blocks
Hickory or Elm sprigs make good tuff bows in case you did not already know
but string is a differant matter so you folks figure out that part
can't give you all the good clues right off now can I ! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Thanks for the tips Guy, I'll look for a yucca shoot but there are not a lot around middle Tennessee.  Hopefully you can make it.  It would be good to see you,,,,,,and it sounds like you would be the perfect teacher for the primitive fire making.

Glad to here that your coming also Chris, I love checking out your bows.

Man Pearlie, sure wish they put on lunch and supper. Made it to the Barryton shoot and 2 rounds of shooting between big meals was perfect! :) Hope you put the targets Owlbait close!

If work allows, I'm gonna try to come up Thursday evening.  If not it will be bright and early Friday morning.  I think the grandson is going to come also.  He loved Twin Oaks this past weekend.

I was really going to try and make it up there this year but work is getting in the way. I have to go to North Florida next week and train a Driller and get a job started off.Maybe next year.
