6th Annual Moon Tree Bowyer Gathering

[osage outlaw]

Dave, I'll be bringing a cot if you've got room for me to set up somewhere.

with the weather forecast for Saturday I think staying inside is a good idea. so I plan on converting my studio into Bunkhouse Central

[osage outlaw]

I was going to bring my tent but decided that was a bad idea.

My wife has some Dr appointments tomorrow .... but I plan on being there sometime Friday Afternoon.
Cant wait ....going to be a good time .
If any of you new guys coming has anything that they would like to see details on, eg. chasing a ring on osage.... please post here tonight what you might like to see.  I'll try to demonstrate it Saturday.  maybe something about arrows?  I've got some cane I can bring.  I know its kinda late , but I just got back in town on business today.  Post what you would like to see tonight and I will get the materials together tomorrow for Saturday demo.

I would like a cooking demonstration Bill       I plant on bringing my string making stuff and showing how I make a flemish twist string.  I've got a bow that needs tillered, one that needs a heat correction, and one that needs a ring chased around a knot hole.  That should keep me busy for the weekend. 

Dave, I plan on being there around 9:00 or slightly earlier tomorrow morning if that's OK.  I know my way around the bow shop if you aren't up by then.   I'm bringing my mud boots!

Clint, I should be up before 9.

Does anyone have a good osage stave they'd like to trade?

It looks like any shooting (bows or handguns) that we will be doing will be Friday or Sunday. 

[osage outlaw]

I've got a small arsenal packed Dave. 

[Danzn Bar]

Clint ...I've been giving you cooking Demo's ever since Ive known ya....   And for the record I'm bringing my smoker and you can watch how to make pulled Pork BBQ....  I was talking about bow/arrow building stuff......really if any of you guys want to know about something the best way is first hand experience.   Just let me or Clint  know by tomorrow noon and Ill try and have everything avaiable to show ya.....

Dave really wish I could be there tomorrow morning , but my wonderful wife has some Dr's appointments in the morning.
See yo tomorrow afternoon.

Dave, what about the shirts?  Did you get them?  How much are they?

[Danzn Bar]

Clint I heard that they were about $15 if Dave could get enough to commit....but dave could give you a status update....

[hedgeapple]

Clint, I love arsenals.

No shirts    When I called to get an estimate they were just over $9 each for the price break of 25.  So, I priced them to you all at $12 so that I would break even if I had shirts left over.  I had 12 or 14 people say they wanted shirts. When I visited the shop, they added layout fees, $2 more for XXL and larger shirts.  The cost rose to $12.50 per shirt. To see a break even point I figured I'd need to charge $16 a shirt.  And that's just too much for a simple 50/50 shirt.  Dropping the order down to 15 shirts would have had a cost of nearly $16 each.  I was ticked that the extra costs were not mentioned on the phone, so I left the store.

I've never gotten to play with osage; I'd like to see how you chase those rings.

Had a great time this weekend even with the all day rain and 3-4" of snow we had Saturday.  The wild boar and deer roast was great Friday night, and Jeremy one of the new NC guys can make a pretty good breakfast.  Dave and his wife are some fine people and great hosts.
Thanks again, Dave
Would have loved had a video of the Outlaw swatting at that little mouse with and arrow shaft.  Funniest thing.... 3-4 grown men chasing after a little field mouse.  I think the mouse was having more fun than we were.......

I'm a terrible picture taker, but here are the only ones I took the whole weekend.
The last pic Clint is moving so fast he's not in focus
