Don't let Eddie fool you about the food.  He brought some fantastic coral!  Timo donated the bow last year with Aero, PatB, and Mike Hawk Huston the arrows, Shannon the turkey beard, and Dana the neck knife.  I missed seeing the drawing as most of us were gone by then.  I hope this year will be even better than last year with some more fellows involved.  The elephant leather was given to me by one of my neighbors.  Her husband was the CEO of Dupont and a Remmington board member that used to hunt in Africa.  He passed away last year and she was just cleaning house!  The leather is about a 4 or 5 in leather thickness grade and is tough and plyable.  Have made several things out of it and really like it.  All but one piece was dyed black.  Bear don't worry about your work being up to par--heck I never saw them throw any of my junk away so yours will work just fine!  A/Ho Pokie

I'll tell You what ...Joe...You say that Your Work isn't up to par either...If You can make a Bow half as good as you make these Quivers...Whoever wins this Year will be one Lucky Bugger! This looks Awesome Joe...can't wait to see the One for the Classic

Pappy:
Nice looking quiver, I just want to say thanks,we really appreciate this,I don't really know how this all got started but if my memory serves me ,I think a few years back PatB /El/Dana /Hillbilly and others I am sure I am not mentioning came and gave us some stuff to use as door prizes or
raffle off,we don't ask for anything but you can be sure it helps and goes toward the expense of the shoot.We for sure don't do it for the money,lots of better ways to make money and easier :)
It is for me as most of the TwinOaks gang a labor of love. It is the best gathering we have and most the folks that show up are like family to me,I think they know that. It is almost in barsing
and really humbelling to me when we receive such fine gifts from the heart. I just want everyone to understand you don't have to do this and would just as welcome either way.
Thanks for all your support over the years , just come and have some fun. :) If you have never been I cam promise you will meet some of the finest most generous folks you will ever be around.  :)

HoBow:
Pappy- what is the date this year for the classic?

Wolf Watcher:
Pappy:  You make as all feel like family.  The fellowship with talented people, the bow making, knapping, southern style food, the shoot, with all the little kids all decked out with bows, arrows, and quivers, and the music makes for a very special time which become memories. Meeting people you can really respect like RangerB and Miss Joanie is another reward. The things we make for the Classic is just our way of trying to give back and be part of the good times.  For me making a few things is my winter time therapy and for that I humbly thank you.  There are several of us that want to be part of the happening!  A/Ho Pokie
