Marshall Primitive Archery Rendezvous
paulsemp:
What a great weekend! Able to see a lot of old faces and meet a bunch of new faces. Hung out with the guys for a few days and had my wife and daughters come up for a few days to experience the community for the first time. The days with my family I spent most of my time chasing frogs for all the kids and trying to keep my daughter Nina from torturing them. Thank you all for treating my family like yours. Guys found out it was my birthday on Saturday and all pitched in to buy me a beautiful Damascus knife and a half a dozen arrows, I don't know of a more thoughtful group. I also received a Pappy bow, that's right I own a Pappy bow from the bow trade delivered via Clint. Thank you sir it shoots like a dream. I was also gifted a slingshot from knoll, a custom-made shirt from Dan with a little Marshall saying on it, Staves from Eric and Cody, had a great trade with Tony for some fire starting material, a yew stave from pearly and I'm sure I'm leaving someone out sorry about that. Here's a bunch of pictures in no particular order

Words can't describe how great the past few days were at the Marshall shoot. The weather turned out beautiful despite the forecast. This year there were more wives and kids running around. It was nice to see so many families there. The kids were well behaved and entertaining. Nathan must have put 500 arrows into that target at camp, Riley learned arrow making and made friends with a boy from the other camp, Scott's girls were in the creek all day long, and Paul's girls were busy chasing frogs and butterfly's.
I got to deliver a trade bow to Paul and a gift bow to Pearly. Both were surprised and very happy with their new bows. I was able to hand over my trade bows to Scott. I hope they work out for you. Bubby gave me a very cool knife. Pearly gave me a ground hog hide and a new osage bow. I picked up another Pearly bow from the trade blanket. That seemed to go over pretty well. I hope we can do it again next year.
The mini bows were fun to shoot. They proved very capable of covering the 90 yards across the pond to the bear target. The war bow guys found a few mini arrows that we missed. I would have liked to hear the comments when they were picking up tiny 12" arrows in the same area as their heavy war bow arrows.
I'm glad the Missoura guys could make it this year. It was nice talking and working with you guys. I finally got to meet Bubby. He fit right in with all of us.
I was able to get a few pictures of all the fun.

It was cool seeing all the different types of mini bows. The level of craftsmanship displayed was amazing.
Bubby shooting the course.
It took 3 hours to shoot a round with Bubby. The Californian had to stop and hug every tree we walked by.
Me and Nathan doing a little target practice on my black hawk bow.
Unfortunately it went snap, crackle, pop >:D
