Yeah we missed you Dave. But understand that the kids and family come first. Hope to see you at Chris' in March.  I'm going to try to have a camp out/bow building tentatively in April.  This one should be cool! Hope the weather will work out.

Pat . . . only a Tnado would put bit of damper on the happenings.   ;)

Here is a few more pictures and some from the shoot at Pleasant Hill.  Most of these Kevin took.

Patrick

Some of the best smoked brisket I've ever had! Thank you Eric,  it was amazing!


Great full draw from Kevin's latest bow. This is Erics brother Nathan shooting it.  Same bow I'm holding in one of the pics on the previous page. 


Good penitration from Josh's trade bow that Arvin made for him.


Josh taking Kevin's bankruptcy bow to 28 inches.  Man that little 46 inch bow is stretching that sinew!


Kevin can get lucky from time to time.  Got him a 10 ring shot on a goat! Paul was wishing we would have waited to take the pic.  Didn't want to be associated with that Tom fullery!


I managed to land in the top 3 shooters on Sunday.  I guess you could say I took second place. We had a shoot off for a beautiful custom arm guard. Wyatt is the young man on the left. He was the big winner!  Several of us helped him make his first bow at MoJam this year. 


Last few of me in the shoot off!


Holding my form after the shot.


Concentrating on my mark.

Never saw Pat so serious as he was when shootin' for that 1st prize!

Good pictures Patrick. Sure glad you guys could make it up to the shoot. It was fun going through the course and the "Tom fullery" was the best part I thought.  :)
