Wish I could have joined you guys Saturday, but wouldn't have had a lot of time after going to the memorial service for a friends wife who passed away. Also had to make a trip to Nashville Saturday afternoon to deliver my youngest son to my brother-in-law...he's been helping mow yards for extra $$$ this summer.

I got my first cane arrow flying Sunday, it flew really well and actually seemed to hit slightly higher then my cedar shafts. I also cut some more cane Sunday and found a good patch of dogbane...

[Pappy]

Sounds like you had a productive weekend also Greg.You missed a good meal Sat.Had some of your Moose along with the deer roast. Moose  GOOD.um.

Greg,
  I've been working on straightening bamboo lately as well.  I also cut river cane this morning.   The nodes in my bamboo are larger and tougher to work with than the river cane but I'm learning as I go.  I hope to get over this weekend sometime.
