Pappy, that snake bow is sure a sweet shooter! I didn't get to see that last point Jesse was working on, wow! I'm not sure how many of the hickory bows we got reflexed, I did five myself Saturday...I think we're probably about half done at this point.

I worked on tips almost all day Sunday. Was just about to finish the second tip on JT's bow, and a big junk of the coco-bolo broke off ruining the tip. I've got another piece glued on to give it another try with. I'm almost finished on the tips for Jan's bow, a good friend that we haven't seen for a long time that is coming to the Classic. BigA, Pappy, and I have made a joint effort on making him a bow. BigA donated a really fine osage bow he had started some time back and had it somewhere between floor tiller and low brace. Pappy and I got it to around 23" Saturday afternoon, then Pappy did a fine job of heat-treating the bow. I worked on putting tips on it yesterday, and will do the finish job on it. Hope he like's it!

I'm chomping at the bit here to get down your guys way! All those pictures are making me jumpy to get to the Classic!!!

It will be fun,when do you plan on getting there ? We always have a good time,the next few weeks will be a lot of work,but it don't seem like it.I have told several if I had to work as hard at work as I do around there I would retire.

But then I couldn't afford to have the fun.

Missed y'all in Kentucky. Did see Grant though, who immediately pointed out that it couldn't be my quiver I was wearing because it didn't have room for a mason jar. Apparently my otherwise sterling reputation has been permanently tarnished

Can't wait. Looking like I can get there on Wednesday night.
