Hello I'm Brian I've been visiting this site for about a month as a guest decide to register. I started flint knapping last summer then started building arrows then bows. I built 4 bows broke 1st tilering by Emerald ash bore hole was really just practice bow. 2nd shoot about 150x broke by hinge off handle. Everything I learned was from you tube then I emailed Marc Ironwoodboyer I really apreciate all his help hope I wasn't to much of a pest.3rd bow rawhide backed ash bow 64" n-n pulls 56#@26". I shoot it about 300x before backing but decided I wanted a little insurance so I backed it shoot another 200x since. 4th bow is HHB bow for my grandson 39"n-n pulls 6#@20.5" built some little arrows for it too. I use forsythia for shafts and Red Dogwood fore shafts. Little arrows copper wire hammered folded over soldered shaped to broad head and inserted like foreshaft I'm not very good on computer but I keep trying not sure how to post pictures or even if I'll get this posted right

Welcome to PA.  There is a selfbow shoot in Marshall, MI this summer.  I'm not sure how far that is for you but it would be a good place to learn from some of the best.

bjrogg:
I'd really like to go it's probably 3.5 hrs I think I'm by Harbor Beach live 1/2 mile off Lake Huron. If I make it this year I can't stay Sunday have 4-H groups summer picnic at our property that day. There's a longbow invitational by Hasting in August how's that?

osage outlaw:
I haven't been to the Hasting shoot.  I'm in the southern edge of IN so making it to Marshall is a good haul for me.

bjrogg:
Would it be worth drive to Marshal for one day? Maybe could come Friday stay over night leave sun morning
