Funny thing is we have a real nice heated Clubhouse but it just doesn't seem right to have our Primitive Shoot planning meeting inside so We trek back into our woods in the middle of Winter to have our meeting. I guess by some folks standards (Us Hawkeye Boys) ain't all there but I think maybe it might be the other way around.

BrianS:
We had our planing meeting back in the Hawkeye woods this morning to discuss the Spring Thaw Shoot. Items discussed were continuing the Friday "One Log Primitive Fire Contest", Saturday's Hawk and Knife Throw, The Archery Woodswalk and of course the Evening Camp Feast (making a small change to include the old Cooking Contest with the Camp Feast. The Clout Shoot will be held on Sunday. Dino and Eric have been working on some challenges for this year's Woodswalk that should be fun. We already have some prizes being donated. Here are a few pictures from our "Breakfast Meeting" in the Woods including one of "Buffalo Gobbler" aka Kevin receiving a surprise gift of a handcrafted barktan haversak (Dino did the tanning and Rob made the bag), "Raisin" aka Colton (Dino's Son) eating a breakfast sandwich bigger than he is!.

BrianS:
Breakfast was sausage, french toast, eggs, bacon, cheese rolls and raisin bread toast. All cooked over a campfire that was started with flint and steel. Here are a few more pictures of our morning. If you are looking for a small very  laid back Primitive Shoot, this may be of interest.
In previous years, we have had between 40 and 60 Shooters attend. We are not looking to grow this Event into a big Shoot but there is room for new folks to attend.

BrianS:
Hawkeye Member Joe Carbone donated this knife to be awarded as a prize at this year's Spring Thaw Shoot.
