Patty's Camp-O-Rama...
hedgeapple:
Hey Pat, I know I've talked about coming down for a couple years now. Once again, I"m going to try to make it. Heck, it would be worth the trip to make some 2-fletched arrows with you and Rand.
I got a 3 Rivers gift card for Christmas last year and bought fletching jigs and feather cutters. I swear making 3 fletched arrows is much harder than doing the 2-fletched ones. And with my shooting abilities or lack there of, I don't see a difference. But, I'm just dogged enough to keep making the 3 fletched until I learn to do it right, THEN, I go back to the 2 fletched one. :)
Woodland Roamer:
Hey Pat, I'm going to try to make it. If I do I'll be there Friday afternoon sometime. I have turkey feathers for two fletch. Is Barry Mcall and the Parker clan coming? Haven't seen them in a while.

Pat B:
Alan, hope you can make it. I look forward to seeing you again. I have emailed Steve but haven't heard back. I haven't contacted Barry but I will.

Pat, I just looked at my request off from work sheet for July and quess what, I haven't requested any time off for the month. That's not right. haha I'm going to do my very best to make it down there. I'm getting excited about the trip.
Since, I'll be a newby, tell me a bit about the set up and activities. Besides the arrow making meantioned above, will there be bow making? Should I bring a tillering stick and a stave horse? I have a 50" osage stave that I'm very excited about. I could have it worked down and sinewed by then. I'd love to have someone looking over my should, giving advice when I start tillering this little beast.
Is it female friendly or mostly a guys outing?
Camping--If my wife is coming, I'd probably pull our 13 1/2 camper. If it's just me, I'll tent it.
I have quite a few turkey wing feathers I could bring. Shaft would be tomato stakes. Sinew, I have some but not a bunch most of which would need to pounded and shredded. Hide glue--I have some flakes, but I could make more. My technique involves a crockpot, but I could adapt and over come with a double pan and water and a can of sterno or a couple charcoal briques.
