So should I bring rock, bow blanks, staves, and tools or what's a good recommendation for my first time?

Jerry, I went by Sierra and the retail shop is open.  I think Gifford posted the hours.

Allyn, all I can say is if you think you might work on it, bring it and the tools to work on it with.  I usually bring way too much stuff and never use 3/4 of it.  If you have a stave horse or work bench you may want to bring it.  Bring you some food, there will be some food for sale Friday and Saturday (gravy and biscuits, hot dogs, and maybe burgers).  If there is anything you may want to trade, bring it.  If you are looking to trade for something or acquire something, just ask around.  You can get most anything you need for bow making and anything that goes with it.  This list is kinda vague but you never know what direction your trip is going to take.  I went to the Tennessee Classic once with all my bow making material and ended up knapping the whole time.

Neal,
Great, I need to get down there Wednesday- getting short in the modern stuff!

Allyn,
You still want an orientation on flintlocks and arrows?

I was really hoping to make it but I’m doubtful I can. Wheat harvest is coming as soon as it quits raining.

I’m really missing everyone and I’m still really bummed that Marshall Michigan meet was cancelled two years in a row.

Allen, I haven’t been to MOJAM. If it’s anything like Our Michigan meet. Bring some spending money or trade stuff. My first meet I went home wishing I would’ve brought more stuff home. I’m not a big spender, but our meet is a great place to get supplies you need. Reasonably priced and no shipping cost. You get to see the stuff and talk to the people.

Have fun.

I’ll be thinking of you guys

Yep, we're in the throes of MoJAM fever. Loading the Silver Streak slowly and methodically instead of raising the back end and heaving it in at last minute. lol.
