nakedfeet:
Well, I've only been to three of these kinds of events, but this one was without a doubt the best. Bummed it had to end so soon!

Thanks to Ed for saving a camping spot for me, beer, some real good food, a couple of staves, good stories, and the hospitality.

Thanks to Greg and Sharon (and Nate) for lunch!

Thanks to the Chris and Chris, Paul, Ryan, Ed, Dan and Dan, Cody, Jake, and many others for letting me chat about archery/bow making, pick their brains while they worked, giving me someone to shoot the courses with multiple times, find arrows, jokes, snacks, stories, etc.

Thanks to Greg and Cody for helping me find a good tree, cut it down, cut it up, and carry it out of the woods.

Thanks to everyone at the club for putting on a great event with lots of fun stuff to do.

And thanks to all the guys who were interested in the primitive fire stuff. I thought I'd bring my stuff out, and being out of practice if I even could get a fire going I'd get some Oo's and Ah's and give some tips and that'd pretty much be it, but it was much better than that. I've taught quite a few people how to do it, in the context of classes and stuff, and I have never seen so many people pick it up so fast or have success so early. I'd love to say I'm just a good teacher, but I think this is clearly an example of good students.

Can't wait until next year! I'm really excited to see what kind of bows all of us come up with, can't wait to shoot the course, can't wait for the awesome dinner, the good stories, the knowledge....

Tony aka naked feet was kind enough to bring all of his fire making stuff up and gave a whole bunch of us a nice tutorial. For a couple hours about 10 of us took turns building hand drill fires and bow drill fires. One of the coolest things I've done in a long time thanks Tony

You started a fire without map gas? 

paulsemp:
You would of been proud of me. All my fires i start at primitive shoots from here on out will be friction  O:). For some reason i feel the need to master this one.

osage outlaw:
Maybe you could cook me a big chunk of deer over a friction fire at Marshall next year.

Buckeye Guy:
Glad y'all got er done
I'm sure it was a good time
hope to see y'all somewhere along the trail !
