Dvshunter
and  anyone else who is interested.
we will be having a planning mtg tonite at bow making for a similar event outside baldwin ks.
we did it two yrs in a row then didnt do it last yr
this coming spring(more like late may) will not only be bowmaking but primitive skills as well.
primitive camping only, nice large firepit for cooling and keeping warm
we may have the barn ready so in case it rains we can work indoors, but thats not a fershure
well maintained outhouse
will post more detail here as we move forward
peace

That was a lot of fun last night. Being, for the most part, city locked I actually got to see and touch tree stave. It was quite exciting and I really look forward to future meets. I'm also glad I got to share the city wonder of a basic board bow that went from backed "1 by" to almost floor tillered in the roughly 2 hours I was there. I think next time I go, it might even be ready for a trial shoot. I will also have to bring out some of my earlier board bows.
It. May be the first Wed of the new year before I make it back, but I do plan on coming back and will try to post when I plan on heading back. Look forward to seeing you all again.

[sadiejane]

KC is about 3 hours for me one way.So are you Dvshunter.I'll try to get there though sometime.

Sadie,
  is there anyone attending the Wednesday evening meetings from KC MO or from east of KC?  I live about an hour southeast of the city and was just wondering if there is anyone else working on bows in this part of MO.

[Dvshunter]

My place borders the prairie home conservation area near prairie home, mo ed and patches.

Sadie, ks might be an option for me. I was going to try for Tenn. And mojam this year. I haven't missed a mojam sincei started making bows.

most every one who comes regularly is from kc. and others from various burbs. cant think of anyone who comes from the southeast part of the city tho. one fella comes up from louisburg, another from north of cameron(like a 75 mile drive one way!). of course gun doc is from farther west of kc but drives a truck and when he's near kc he stops by. tshank who came for the first time last week is from south joco ks area. the core group lives in the heart of kcmo. another list member who comes periodically lives north of the airport. no, i do not think there is one person coming from yr area right now.

we are not trying to replace mojam or any other event.
never intend to compete nor we will ever be as big.
the farm is too small for hundreds but we could easily have dozens....
prairie rattler will always be word of mouth and by invitation
and of course, all the good folks on pa are on the invitation list 

[Dvshunter]

I'll have to add it to my to do list.

If I'm going to three, why not four right.

Dvshunter, I am kinda familiar with your area.  I currently live in Warrensburg, but used to live in Columbia.  I still hunt around Boonville.   Sadie, does your group meet every Wed. Night? If so I may have to run up there on evening.   

[sadiejane]

yes, we meet every wed around 5 or 6
we will NOT be mtg next wed, the day after xmas, and we may not be mtg the wed following new years
tho im not sure about that one yet

we WILL be there tomorrow nite(wed dec 19th)
