3rd Annual Gathering Under the Ash Tree Shade - (Sept 15 - 17, 2017)

(1/11) > >>

Onebowonder:
We are planning another gathering to build bows under the Ash tree shade in my side yard. Dates will be September 15th -17th in Springfield, MO

Our plan at this point is to:
1] Build bows Friday afternoon and evening,
2] Do a little couch camping, get up early to spend Saturday building bows again,
3] Followed by a bit more couch camping.
4] and then Sunday around noon . . .  we'll trek out to the Davis House Archery Complex here in Springfield. (https://www.springfieldmo.org/listings/1683/davis-house-archery-complex)  They have an indoor 20 yard range, an outdoor 70 yard range, and a Walking Wooded 14-Target Range.  The range cost is $10 each.  They are not usually open on a Sunday, but they have agreed to get one of their staff to come in and let us use their facility for a couple hours.
5] We'll then go back to the house to finish up, pack out, and have a late lunch before heading home.

NEW this year! - We'll be setting up a KNAPPING Pit this year as well for those that enjoy making little bitty rocks outta great big rocks.  There will be some guys here that know what they are doing with knapping that would likely be persuadable to help new folks get started with this bad habit.

Bring your favorite beverages and whatever add-to-its you’d like to share for the meals.  We’ll plan to have some smoked meats from the smoker barrel on Friday evening and Saturday.  Sunday's late lunch will be a big ole pot of chili and whatever y'all want to add to it.   

As far as those that need a place to sleep over, my house has a couple spare bedrooms and a bunch of comfy couches that are normally empty, (as long as I behave well!).  We also have a travel trailer setup that can accommodate five or six guys.  Please don’t rent a hotel/motel room unless you just want to support the local Springfield economy.

Eric! You know full well that I leave for Colorado to hunt elk on the 14th. I'm starring to think you don't want me there. Lucky for me, Chris puts one on. I wish I could make it but I'm starring to see a pattern here  )P(

Knoll:
Dave finally figured it out.
I'll be sure to bring the "new" cooler and camera.
