Hawkeye Bowmen Selfbow Shoot

<< < (6/7) > >>

Buffalogobbler:
Jon and Pappy,
I plan to tape the woods walk if I do not shoot good enough to qualify, but if I do qualify for the woods walk I will try to find someone to tape it if I can, and I also will tape the clout shoot if it is not rained out.

FT Camp at the Hawkeye Spring Thaw has not been the same since that old Backwoods Longhunter “Buffler Razz” left for New Mexico. I have been searching for a suitable replacement to fill his moccasins and I believe I have found him! He can whip a Mountain Lion, throw a hawk and shoot a bow with the best of them, tell tales till your ears hurt, go a year without bathing. Why he would be a match for the likes of Jim Bridger or ol’ Daniel Boone himself! The best part for me is he is my 8 year old Grandson Michael and this will be his first Overnight Primitive Rendezvous. Just figured I would warn you guys to watch out if you come visiting FT Camp. Once he gets to asking questions he just doesn't quit. I did have one compromise, I have to set up the big canvas wedge tent because he ain't big on sleeping out under my Open Face Diamond Shelter.

Here is latest weather forecast:
Friday Evening  Mostly cloudy, with a low around 37. Breezy. Chance of precipitation is 60%.
Saturday Partly sunny, with a high near 46.
Saturday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 31.
Sunday Mostly sunny, with a high near 49.
We cut up a bunch of firewood for Folks plus the Clubhouse has a furnace and a woodstove. We have two outside shelters plus a covered deck.

Pappy:

Pappy,
Thank You. I will pass along your hello to Dave, Chuck, Kevin and the rest of the Hawkeye Boys.
We put the finishing touches on the courses this morning and a few of the guys are setting up their camps today. We have two courses out with a total of 22 targets that folks can shoot as often as they want. There is also a Practice Range we set up down in the Woods. If anyone wants to work on a bow there is a outside shelter that can be used. We will be running some informal contests along with Saturday's Pot Luck Dinner. Rob is bringing up a small group of Cub Scouts Friday Afternoon and Saturday Morning to check out some of the stuff happening like the one log primitive fire contest and the hawk and knife. Some of these Kids have not seen anything like this before. When Rob is done teaching them they will all be wearing braintan buckskins and shooting selfbows! Like I said before it is not a big event but we have a good time. Kinda like a Family Reunion for Primitive Archers. Just 2 days to go.
Have a good one,
Brian
