Spring Thaw Selfbow Shoot at Hawkeye Bowmen

<< < (3/7) > >>

Buffalogobbler:
Just had a blizzard yesterday that dumped another foot of snow at Hawkeye, if this keeps up we might have to rename this shoot and call it SNOWJAM!!!! :o

Kevin

BrianS:
No matter! Us Hawkeye Boys are a tough bunch and we ain't about to let a little cold or snow stop us from having some fun.

BrianS:
Put in some work this morning starting to get ready for the shoot. We hauled out a bunch of campfire wood and Dino started to put together some of his ideas for this year's Woodswalk. I think him and Eric have some really cool stuff planned.
We received a very generous prize prize donation  from Hawkeye Member Joe Carbone. Joe has donated the finest Hawk I have ever seen! Kevin took some pictures of it to post here. Also received a extremely nice hand crafted Turkee Caller from Buffalo Hunter Calls (Buffalo Gobbler)

BrianS:
