You guys look like you had a blast! Thanks for picking on mike for me.
Paul i had almost the same thing happen to me at mojam a few years ago. I was letting someone shoot a selfbow of mine and it blew on his second shot. We got a picture somewhere. Perfect timing. I felt so bad! I had shot that bow for three days prior all night long. Sometimes they just give up! I cant wait to see the mikes new bow.
Thanks for putting up all the pics. Its almost like im there!

Well this shoot went by way too fast. I had a real good time visiting with everybody and shooting the courses. These 3d courses are some of the best I have shot with lots of challenging shots and great targets. I think my daughter has got hooked on 3d shooting. She drug me around the courses a good part of the day Saturday. She even gave me a run for my money on a few of the targets.

It was really nice shooting with Lacey and you Ryan. You were good camping buddies to. Lacey is going to be giving you some stiff competition in the very near future. That's just so great to see.

After Shooting the course Paul, Knoll and I shoot the money bear. It a bear target with money attached to it. It's about a 85 yard shot. Knoll and I were both very impressed by how flat Paul's bow shot. None us hit the bear, but I think we might have scared him a little.
By now it was getting uncomfortably warm. We went back to camp and played chase the shade with our chairs. Well I used my bucket having forgot my chair. Carol told us some really good Knoll stories as he tried to remember what their wedding date was. After a couple engineering guesses he got the right Month which actually seemed to surprise Carol. Knoll tide some nock points on his bow string and took it to the practice range. We looked over the silent auction items.
Soon it was time for the feast. We got in line and had some sweet corn while we waited. After awhile we decided to just wait in the shade. The sun was getting uncomfortable. I'm sure Pearl wouldn't have liked it just like me. While we were sitting there Matt W approached us and asked if we would participate in the 21 arrow salute. We got our bows.
Now the line was moving along and soon we all had our bellies full. Not that they ever got empty. They presented jeb a award. I'm sorry I couldn't really hear but I know it was for his service. Then they started the raffle, silent auction and door prizes. About half way through they did the 21 arrows salute. We were arranged in three rows of seven archers. On command we let our 21 whistling arrows sail high over the flag. Then one lone archer shot a silent one. It was nice thought and gesture.
Then more door prizes and finally the raffle bows. The first bow ticket drawn was mine for Paulsemp's HHB. I was very happy. Next was Mark from Marshall. I don't know his last name, but if you've been to Marshall you know him. That made all of us happy. Mark lost everything in a fire so it couldn't have gone to a better home. I believe it was a lady that got RyanR's which was the prettiest of the group. I'm sure it got the most tickets.
Then it was back to camp. We told and listened to lots of good hunting stories. Some stories from our younger days that can't be repeated and just enjoyed each other's company. I think everyone was a bit tired out from the heat and everyone had a busy day ahead. We broke up the party just a little earlier but the quality of time was great.
That was the end of Saturday
