Looks like a lot of carbon in there for a primitive gathering ;)

Hope Dave wasn't laying there when they shot! Id like to think your smarter than that big Dave, but at 2:30 am all bets are off!

I took a bunch so it took awhile to get loaded. I had a great time visiting with family again this year. I met lots of people again and even learned a few things. I'd like to write an article for the magazine to show what a great time this event is. Thanks to Marshall bowhunters again and again for putting this in every year and letting me live there for a week!  Anyway... here are some pics.

I only got to be at MOJAM for about 36 hours this year, ...which was not even HALF as long as I needed to be there!  At least I did get to make it there for a bit though.

Last year, several of us got together and decided that we needed to do something kewl for NoNose.  He comes every year to MOJAM and spends something very near to all of his time there helping others learn to make a bow.  He especially works with the newest bowyers and helps them get over the fear of messing up the project by telling everyone, "It's just a piece of wood".

Well, during MOJAM this year we gave NoNose a set of primitive gifts and tools.  He was overwhelmed, but really appreciative of the Love and Respect the group demonstrated for him.

1] Patrick laid out a blanket to present the gifts on.
2] Dave gave him the bow in a pink sock.
3] NoNose opened the bow that several guys had teamed up to build together.
4] Patrick presented the Quiver he had made.  It's Bamboo with Walnut slats custom fit to match it perfectly.

5] Neal (aka Patches) gave NoNose the arrows he had made for him.  3 primitive two fletches with knapped points, 9 triple bladed broad heads, and 3 field point arrows.

6]I presented NoNose with the large hand drum I made for him.  My nephew RJ hand painted the eagle petragliph design on the drum face with leather dye.

Then Patrick presented NoNose with a Damascus steel skinning knife and sheath with a KingWood handle custom made by Devon, who could not make it up the MOJAM this year.

7] Somehow a spontaneous hug-fest broke out after that.  It must be a Marine thing...  8) ;) 

8]  ...and then we got a group shot of all the guys there that were involved with making all these things for NoNose.

Another awesome mojam in the books!
This event has become very dear to my heart. I is something that I can bring my family to and they can enjoy meeting and getting to know the rest of my family.
I want to say a big thanks to the Marshall bow hunters for putting on mojam!
And another huge thank you to the guy's I camped with this year.
I got overly tied up down at the pavilion trying to help everyone I could and finishing up my trade bow. You guys stepped in and helped my wife and took care of camp.  I don't know how to make it up to you guys but you know I will somehow.
Well we had a few mojammers not show up this year and they were missed.  But we had some new faces to help fill the voids. There was even a family that came all the way from Denmark.

There was a lot of bows being built this year.  At least 4 of them was first time bow builder's. They was from all different age groups to.  One of my friends is in his 70's and I think the youngest first bow was my niece at 9 years old.
There was a lot of gifts given and received by several people.  Several trade bows were hand delivered. And unfortunately I broke bowwoods(Chris) trade bow on my tiller tree.  I was sick to my stomach. Then he said,  I would rather have it break here than in my guys hand.  I gave him my brand new HHB stave I just got so he could get going on his trade bow.
A group of us honored our friend James (nonose) with an overwhelming set of gifts. He has always selflessly helped everyone.
And then there was the weather,  hot one day not to bad the next. Oh, and then there is the rain.  Giant mud holes everywhere,  it was so muddy at our camp that my wife went and got a few bales of straw. The guy's spread it all over the ground.
I will be posting several pictures later on.  I know I'm rambling but my mind is still racing with all the excitement and fatigue of,  MoJam.

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!
