Welcome bowyers to Walk-the-Talk 4

(1/3) > >>

jwillis:
"Walk-the-Talk" is a traveling, annual event where bowyers can send in their bows to have them tested for speed on a shooting machine, compare them to other bows, and evaluate them by hand shooting. There is also a "purdy" bow competition. It is a friendly competition where bow speed is the primary consideration. For those able to attend the event, it is also a time to swap ideas with other bow builders, hand shoot the bows submitted, and participate in a few archery shooting games. The "shoot off" will be held this year on April 23-24 at Booneville, Missouri. For those of you familiar with MOJAM, Booneville is located about 45 minutes east of there on Interstate 70.

The primary sponsor of this event is the wvw.piratesofarchery.net chat room. Additional information, correspondence, and results of the testing will be posted there. Here is a link...

It will really be great to get some participation from more primative bowyers this year! Please consider this your invitation to send in a bow or two, and make plans to attend the event if possible.

Jesse:
That looks pretty cool. I might just have to send in a bow.

Badger:
  I attended two years ago and it was great. A lot of research goes into these bows and all the modern bowyers have a lot of respect for us primitive guys. If you can send a bow or attend it would be great. I hope to attend again this year. Steve

Rich Saffold:
Steve,

If you are going and if I have a fast one you like at one of  the Feb. March Pasadena Gatherings I'd be thrilled if you would throw it into the box for the trip..Of course I'll cover the shipping ;D

Heck I'm glad you get to go..I'd certainly go if I could..

Rich

Badger:
Rich, if I go I will just take it with me. I may not bring but one bow, haven't been building for a while. Steve
