It was good to see you nare-do-wells, some for the first time. Like it always seems to happen, I met people I wasn't expecting to meet but missed some I'd hoped to.
Hate I missed tasting Lennie's home brew. You gonna brang a taste to the Jam, ain't ya ole buddy, ole pal?
Got to handle the Southern community bow. Ya'll did a great job.
Our trip was very enjoyable as usual, even though my priorities are conflicted between entertaining my loverly wife off site and feeding my bowyer/archer obsession by hangin and yackin at Pappy's place.
Pappy and his crew did a great job again. Having been to the last five, at least, I can tell you this shoot has really grown. I fear a little bit that one of my favorite Yogi-isms may come to pass ie. "nobody goes there anymore, it's just too crowded." I think Pappy still has a couple of notches left in his belt, but I can only imagine just how much time and money it costs to host a deal like this. To our hosts I'd like to extend a most sincere and heart felt thank you.
I hope to see ya'll, and perhaps some who didn't make it, again next year.

I have no idea how you managed to corral such a lovely filly Mims. There must be a real shortage of good-looking men in Memphis. Or you're stinkin' rich and just don't flash it around like some. I'll bring a little more beer to MOJAM, get there early or it'll evaporate from the heat.
Pat I forgot shooting, my family did the whole course even the 7-yr-old. We did a family contest, shot for score and then subtracted our ages to even things up. Even though I"m the elder, I still won. The 7-yr-old came in second though, my lovely wife sort of brought up the rear. Nobody tease her about that though, she just had a bad day. She made some good fried cabbage though, anybody get a little of that? Spicy and greasy, two of the four food groups here in MO (the other two being beer and hard liquor).
I didn't touch a rasp or a bandsaw, but it was good to see so many making shavings. Looked like Santa's workshop a week before Christmas, and not just because 3/4 of the people were short and had big ears. No shortage of Santa look-alikes either. Needs to be a beard contest next year.

It sure was great to finally meet y'all I only wish I could of got to shoot a round with everyone and spend some more time talking with every one. Time just seemed to fly by down there. I will most definitely make the trip back next year lord willing, and maybe Greg will have a little time to himself next year so we can get him one of the recurves shootin. I have to compliment everyone at the twin oaks club, it is a top notch facility and you wont find more friendly people any where. Thank you Pappy and Greg for all your hard work and dedication to make this shoot happen. Here's a quick picture of our very own primitive archer family.
