Time to start loadin' up. UGHHH! Much more fun to unload . . . at destination!!
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857

I'm not running it but, I'm mostly certain wood arrows with only field points for the jug shoot.  No blunts, Judo's, broadheads, modified nails, etc. This is a primitive shoot.  Selfbows with wood arrows.  If I'm speaking in error, please correct me if I'm wrong, Guy.

That's what I thought, and figured as much, Matt.

It will be ready as soon as we get there Chris!

Well made it to Daves house about 345. We pretty much have everything loaded and ready to go! Gotta put a little food in and we will be headed out about 630 central time! See you all tomorrow after noon!

Aaron, if you have heaver arrows you will probably blow through the jug.  The shot I remember was more like 20 yards or less.  They have a big backstop behind the jugs so dont worry about loosing an arrow.
Last year I shot 3 of my new arrows right in half and tore off a fletch.

Set the camper up by the Bitterman's and dropped the Little Woman and Wee-Wicki off last night.  Then had to leave back for home.  I'll be back on Friday after work.  Little Dan wasn't out of the truck for 1 minute when he found some friends to run around with.

 Well, I thought o might have been able to make it for the weekend, but life has a habit of getting in the way, so I don't think I'll be able to make this one!!:( Miss you all and can't wait till things calm down and I can get back to building more!

The weather has been damp, not a lot of rain but some showers. It sure didn't hurt the turnout in the pavilion. Lots of bowyers, great to see and meet. Nice and cool to work on projects. I'm doing better this year at figuring out who is who. I'm sure my wife knows all the kids and who they belong to by now. Taking lots of pictures will try to continue through the weekend
