What OO said..............
DBar
-
That's funny You posted that Guy - I was thinking about Marshal yesterday. Was cutting up firewood from the recent ice storm (Maple & Mulberry) and thought about Labor Day week-end. Way early, but can't wait ! Bob
-
Clint we do have some fun !
Bob thought a little sun shine would do you folks up north some good about now !
It is never to early to think about Marshall
Memorial day will be here before you know it and we will be done for another year
Hope everyone can make it this year
Let the planning begin !
See ya there
Guy
-
A few more !
-
More
-
More fun
-
Everybody ready for this years fun to begin ?
-
I am Guy! I love this gathering as much as any I go to. The setting is perfect.
-
See ya got the pics figured out guy....good talking to ya on the phone sunday ;) I miss ya guys....thank god I'll be seeing a bunch of yins in less than a month at martys to rid some cabin fever ;D
-
Ya Guy, glad you got them up, I forgot. Can't wait myself. Last year was my first and had a great time. Everyone was so laid back and very welcoming to a new guy like me. After a hour with everyone I felt like I was hanging out with old friends. I highly recommend this shoot to anyone interested. Small enough where you can meet and talk to everyone but big enough to find company in any activity. Lots of bow building and plenty of guys to give beginners all the one on one you could want. I will be coming as early as I can so let me know when the gates open up Guy.
-
Well there you have it folks , testimonies from three of the fine boyers on here !
Glad they have figured out what I have been saying for many years , I love the Marshall Primitive Rendezvous !!
Glad to here from you folks and can't wait to be there !!
The Marshall Primitive Archery Rendezvous Is held every year on the weekend of Memorial Day !
Wilder Creek conservation club
19833 D Drive South
Marshall Mi. 49068
-
I am new to primative archery but have heard about this event for a long time. What is done ther? Is there an entry fee?
-
No entry fees. Bows being made - shot - discussed, with plenty of show & tell. If You make one shoot/event in Michigan this year, and are interested in making a Selfbow - this is the one to attend ! Hope to see You there - Bob.
-
Bob you forgot to mention that cute little spaniel that will be there to!
-
No fee to get in
there are small fees to shoot , camp, things like that
As Bob said if you are interested in self bows this is the place for folks in this region to be . There are folks from Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, lncluding some Yoopers, and even Canada! Hope to see the boys from Tennessee and New York this year The knowledge of Self bows that is available at this event is well worth the drive.
The same can be said for flint knapping and other Primitive skills as well you just have to ask and you will receive.
If you miss out it is your own fault.
I am not sure how you could have more fun than we do at this event.
Hope to see ya there!
Guy
-
Hope to make it up this year if all goes well. :) Just to see the people that I know will be there will be worth the trip for me. :)
Pappy
-
I hope you do pappy. I think the laid back feel would be a nice break for you after the Classic.
-
I wish I could make that trip. I see a lot of familiar faces in those pics of people I met at the Classic (all good folk!). Nice looking family blackhawk.
-
Pappy
Seeing the people at these events is the "special thing" for us that have been around !
Showing up and supporting these events is the important part, so them that are coming along behind us can have that "special thing" for them selves one day !
I thank you for all you do for PA , there are many folks that have those special relationships because of folks like you ! primitive archery has been good for us !
If you can work it out to come see us , I bet we will roll out a bit of red carpet for ya !
The rest of you folks reading this that have not become a part of the events such as Marshall and the Tennessee classic , these type of events are what have built and sustained the greatest hobby ( addiction ) that we could ever ask for
Please pic out a few of them and get to building your own special relationships you will be glad you did !
Hope to see y'all some where along the trail !
Guy
-
Just marked the vacation calendar at work! Im off from Wednesday on. Get use to seeing this ugly mug Guy!
-
Can't wait to see that ugly mug Pearly !
Are you planing on a Tue pm or Wed am arrival ?
Speaking of ugly , anybody heard from BoardHawk he seams to be quite lately.
I have plans to be in that state up north the next two weekends , if it works out I should be seeing a good many of the folks so we can finalize a few things and start really getting ready !
Have fun
Guy
-
My arrival plans will depend a lot on Paulys plans. I know he is taking a few more days off this year.
Chickenhawk doesn't like making bows anymore. But Im sure he will still come to a few shoots. I know he is joining as at Martins next weekend!
-
I'm hoping to take Wednesday off and leave right from downtown Chicago and come out Tuesday and be there by dark. If not working half day Wednesday and be out there Wednesday afternoon. I would like to get a few extra days out of this shoot considering it may be my only one this year. Got a family vacation planned real close to elm hall.
-
You fellows come on when you can , I will be watching for you !
Mike said the fliers for Marshall are done and he will be dropping them of at Kazoo tonight
It is not looking like I will be there to talk with him , but should see any of you that are at Kazoo tomorrow.
Have fun
Guy
-
The Mashall event was my second PA gathering and I finished I bow there that I started with Matt W at the TN classic. Again, a great group of people and it was nice because even though I currently live in TN "about an hour from twin Oaks", my day job takes me to Marshall about once a month, yes I'm a lucky guy!
I spend a fair amount of time in Marshall and when I asked people in the town "many of them hunters" about the Renesvoux, knowone knew about it. I did not find anything mentioned about it on the town Chamber of Commerce calendar or any local events info. I'm not sure if the people who put on this event want the general public to know about it but I thought I'd mention it.
This is a great event and in a very nice setting, I'm planning to go again this year!
-
See a bunch of yins next weekend at martys 8)
-
Chris
that is the plan!
Forest Farmer
Sorry for hiding it is not intentional, most of us are not from the area and after all we are Primitives, LOL
I will contact the folks at Wilder Creek Conservation Club were we hold this event maybe one of them will help us To fix this problem!
Please intoduce yourself around this year .
-
I'm gonna try and make it this year Guy. After hearing about last years gathering from Paul & Pearly I'm convinced I missed out on a good time, I don't wanna make that mistake again this year. ;D
-
Good to hear that
I am sure you will enjoy it
I know we all do !
See ya there
Sounds like folks enjoyed the meal together on sat night last year so
stay tuned for more info on that
I hope to have the details worked out in the next couple of weeks !
-
It can be nice and cool like it was last year if it wants to! I loved the jeans and flannel shirt stuff we had. It was great shooting, building and all around good hanging out weather. 35 degrees in the morning made that coffee even better.
-
considering it may be my only one this year. Got a family vacation planned real close to elm hall.
Say it aint so bro - Jake needs some additional influence/guidance besides me! 8)
Can't wait, both my boys keep asking when the shoot is!
-
Least one of them has a "real" bow this year Drew!
Jake might just have something to tell you guys this year, man they grow up fast!
-
Least one of them has a "real" bow this year Drew!
Jake might just have something to tell you guys this year, man they grow up fast!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, trust me i hear it ALL the time from the other one - his osage bow doesn't have snake skins like Caleb's, I just can't compare to your level of work either ;D
I'm hoping Jake does, he's training me for what i'll have to deal with in 10 years!
-
Buckeye Guy,
I will be in Marshall next week and will start to ask around for how to get the event on the chamber of commerces calendar. I will also start to introduce myself when I go to this event and the TN classic.
-
Thanks
If you are in Marshall this weekend I think there is a wild game banquet at Wilder Creek on sat night ! That is the club were we hold the shoot.
I did not find out till after I made a commitment to be in Perry so I won't be there but it should be a good time .
Take care
Guy
-
Guy, I won't be in marshall til Sunday night so I'll miss the wild game dinner.
If your up in Perry and see Matt W. Tell him Ed from Tn said hey.
Matt got me started last he at the tn classic.
-
FF Sorry I did not see this before I left
I did see Matt for a few minutes sat
Just got home a while a go sowe may have passed each other on 69
We had a great weekend at Marty's third annual Marty Jam!
I am sure some pics will be showing up some were on here!
I talked to Mike he is going to see about getting the Rendezvous listed with the chamber
take care and hope to see ya there!
Guy
-
Hope this works this time!
-
Yea!
after many atempts I finally got this on here
sometimes I wish I was not so Primitive, this puter stuff ain't me!
-
Some things have popped up and came to my attention last Thursday that is probably going to prevent me n the family from attending this year.... sorry guys :'(
-
Guess Pauly wins by forfeit.....not exactly the drama I was hoping for....;)
Bummer though............
-
Heart broken !!!!
Hope all is well and that we get to see ya next year !
Guy
-
Sorry to hear that Chris. Was looking forward to hanging with everyone.
Guess Pauly wins by forfeit.....not exactly the drama I was hoping for....;)
Bummer though............
I am finishing a 42" sinew/ osage that was going to be the bow to shoot against you.... You wouldn't of stood a chance >:D if you make it to elm hall, I'll make it
-
Sounds like Chris needs a standin for something bet we can find one!
-
Sorry to hear that Chris ! bob
-
Bruce said he should have a new game for us folks at Marshall
He called it a milk jug shoot
It is a head to head competition for those who are into that sort of thing
We will also have a broad head shoot so bring them along
I think Mark is going to try to get the Squirrel shoot going also so if you want to shoot at moving targets you can try it out
-
Looking forward to it Guy!
Bummer you can't make it this year Chris. The output from the bow pavilion will be cut in half.
-Dan
-
Not if you actually FINISH one.....Dan! That pavilion is awesome. I love it and cant wait to hang out with all you guys.
-
I'm with you Pearly , wish that I lived closer then I could hang out in the pavilion year round!
Sitting here wondering if I will miss Chris or the baby dolls the most!
Hope the Gaults have they're new addition in time to help fill in for Chris not having his bunch there !
See ya in 3 months !
-
I wont miss his ugly mug at all Guy. Its that little pink clad girly I will miss!
-
Your right !
We will miss his family more than him !
If the Gaults new one arrives in time they are planning to come, also Jenni has a new one and she is thinking they may be down from Alaska in time to come ( depending on the spring thaw ) so we may still get some baby time even with out Boardhawk !
As long as this new doc I have don't starve me plumb to death before I get there we should have every thing in place for all the fun we can stand !!!
See ya there
-
12 more weeks , is it too early to start counting the days ?
sure do miss you folks !
Guy
-
Hope the snow is gone by then O:)! Bob
-
I don't think it was far from snowing last year Bob. We had some chilly mornings. I love that stuff, you can have that heat and bug season!
-
It was cool for a couple of nights leading up to Marshall last year!
just enough to chase the mosquitoes back into the swamps were they belong.
Is it time to go yet?
-
80 Days to go till the fun begins !
Time to start scheming
I think we will do the sat eve pork meal- carry in dinner so let me know what you think and what you are willing to bring !
For the early birds I may do a soup or boil Thursday eve.
Let me know your thoughts !
Guy
I will also put this up on the Marshall Primitive Archery Rendezvous face book page
-
Are we there yet !!!
-
Nope, but are a lot closer than we were in January Guy! I think Im coming down Wednesday after work. Make a four dayer out of it.
-
Pearl,
I think Im coming down Wednesday after work. Make a four dayer out of it.
So your not going to be there Monday?? It will be going on Monday won't it?
DBar
-
Not me Bill. Guy would know if they are "open" on Monday, Im not sure? Most roll in from Wednesday on through Friday.
-
I talking about the next Monday the holiday......I'm working on coming up Thursday and by my count I was mak'n it a 4 dayer to Monday?
Oh well I'll most likely have enough of you by Sunday... >:D :) ;)
DBar
-
DBar
Glad to hear you plan to make the trip up, you wont be disappointed !
I will be there from which ever day the earliest arrival that I am notified of will be coming till at least Sunday noon !
Traditionally we wrap it up then so folks can get home for their Memorial services
If folks want to stay for Monday it is OK and if several stay I will
Last year I was there from Tue - Sun as some of the long time attendants wanted some time to catch up with each other before others started pulling in
I expect to be there at least that long if not longer this year
Cant wait to see y'all
Guy
-
Thanks Guy,
First time for me, I wasn't sure and that's good to know about Monday, I'll plan on leaving sometime Sunday and be there sometime Thursday.
That makes Pearl correct, I stand corrected... :) I should no better than to question experience. ;D
I'm trying to get a guy from Indiana that lives amongst the great osage to come with me. I may need a little help from you guys to encourage him to leave early Thursday.
DBar
-
The Wirwiki's usally stay till Monday but not many others, if you want to stay you are welcome to !
If a you want to I can and will, that offer stands for others too !
I will be wore out by then but have a whole year to rest up .
-
Cool picture of Norm & Jean ! I'll be staying till Monday as long as the weather cooperates - Bob.
-
The wife brought up Marshall last night n she was informed we weren't going....her eyes widened,her jaw dropped agape,n she said ahhhhh in a sad puppy crying whining voice :'( it didn't go over too well and smooth to put it nicely :-\ .... momma might win this one boys and there's a few variables to get around for us to make it this year.....but were back to a slim chance of making it now :laugh:
Say your prayers if ya wanna see my ugly mug there.... >:D
-
Hope she wins! Id like to see her and the kids again........;)
-
Hope you can make it Chris. If it's something I've learned in marriage its some fights are better off lost.
-Dan
-
Another week closer !
I have been praying for you folks Chris !
Let us know if we can help out !

Now we have just enough time for the spring rains to get over before we gather for the fun!
See ya there!
-
Your wife is right Chris, give her this win and get to Marshall, be good to see ya there. We're thinking about bringing one or two of the grandkids along too, they'd fit right into the play group with your little ones. :)

DBar
-
It's Scott Spears
He is a member of the Canadian War bow Society
They have a group that comes to Marshall every year and they really like that little castle !

Hope to see ya all there this year !
Cause we have a blast !
Guy
-
Getting closer, the Wicki's are getting pumped for sure! Sad that the Driezer's may be out; glad that they may be in! We'll keep our fingers crossed here. I saw a robin this morning! Yes, the Wicki's usually do a liesurely pull out on Monday afternoon.

Pappy
-
That was pre-mountain man Chuck!
We nicknamed him the unabowyer at Kzoo >:D ;D
I know my whole family is ready, and counting down the days!
-
Less than 40 days now !!
-
I'm ready RIGHT NOW O:) ! Bob
-
Amen to that Bobert! My mind has been whirling and wandering for a month already.
-
Pearly, I could use another shooting lesson. Not sure that KH can make it but I plan to bring a couple bows to shoot and play with.
-
Much obliged teach. Kevin WILL be there, I know where he lives and I aint scared of guys twice my size....or so...
-
And I have a short, sturdy as a shick brithouse buddy from Che-cago to back me up.
-
Yeah - and He can COOK too :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:!
-
Yah, what Bob said!
-
You fellows do my heart good!
See ya soon
Guy
-
Pearly, I could use another shooting lesson. Not sure that KH can make it but I plan to bring a couple bows to shoot and play with.
I plan to be there come HE77 or high water.
owlbait don't make me come over there n drag ya out on the lake for a proper fishin lesson you dusty ol fart.
KH
-
Good luck with that Kevin. You cant teach teachers!
-
1 month and 29 days and I'll be teachable again! I wasn't even sure if KH was still breathing, and I will swap him shooting lessons for fishing lessons any day. I hope someone will have arrows there, I'm having problems finding arrows that fly decent out of my bows.
-
I'll have a wad of arrows from 42-70#. I cant sell any, but at least you'll know what to look for. Id imagine Larry will be there again and he will have arrows put together to sell.
-
Thanks Chris. Looking forward to the shoot and the visit.
-
30 days time to get cracking !!
-
I finished the remodel on my tent on wheels!
now the deciding what to pack
I am planing on fixing Chili for Thursday evening , just need to now how many to cook for let me know if you want in.
It looks like we may have the meat covered for the Saturday evening meal so figure out what you can bring to go with it!
please bring some thing along for the raffle as it will be our best opertunity to get the funds we need to keep everything growing
see ya all there
Guy
-
Ill be staying in style this year. Wifey and I bought a small travel trailer. It'll be nice to be off the ground and dry.
What raffle Guy? I may have an "old" bow I could toss on there.
-
Sounds cool Pearly - got the sign made yet ??????? >:D Bob
-
No signs Bob, but I do have 2 bunks available for those over 60! One dog per guest...;)
-
Pearly
Was gona ask if the camper means we finally get to meet this mythical wifey, but if your renting out bunks then I recon not !
We have a raffle to generate a little money to help keep things going, we draw the names out after the sat eve meal and we would be glad to have anything donated to the cause ! If we get a big item like a "Pearl Drums" bow we may decide to auction it off.
Mike tells me there was a good bit of clean up going on allready at Wider Creek so I may not head north as early as I first planned to but how ever early in the week any of you want to come let me know and I will be there (if I can keep the old truck going that long)
Hope to see ya all in 24 days or less !!!!!!!!!!!!
Guy
-
A couple of new developments !
Pearly we missed out big buddy, one of the locusts trees was cut down to keep it from falling on the Castle , it was firewood before I found out. What as shame ! We could have sold staves !
On a much brighter note ! I hear some folks are planning to come that we have not seen in a while, Japp Koppedrayer (Yumi bows) plans to attend this year , and Bob Berg (Thunderbird Atlatl) is loading up for the trip from NY , it will be good to see them again!!!!
Man am I getting fired up!
-
Pearly - I was talking about the "If the trailers rockin'............Don't be nockin'" sign O:)! Bob
-
Ahhhh, that sign Bob. Nope, don't have that one either......................yet!
She will come along one of these days. She went to Grayling and Barryton with me once each. I think Ill get her to Elm Hall this year. Honestly? Marshall is MINE! I like going alone to this one, Im selfish like that.

The wifey has been bringing this up it seems once a week or so...and a lot of folks were harping on me at the classic to be at Marshall this year...I'm starting to get the hint ::) ...
Since there isn't a presque isle shoot(its the same weekend)some of the folks that attend there have said they might go to Marshall since that ones cancelled now. Chuck(holeinthebowchuck) said he might head that way,n I'd imagine at least one other Hawkeye bowman wood ride with him...hickory bill is thinking about coming out as well..as is rob(pahunter) ...so it sounds like the numbers are gonna be up again this year and Marshall is back on the rebound(hope so) ...osage outlaw n danzn bar will be there for there first time too...id sure hate to miss it,cus its shaping up to be a good one so far.
-
Woo-hoo! Come on over, you eastern feller's are always welcome. Several new attendee's this season by the sounds of it.
-
Hmm. . .
-
Don't be a sissy Sulfridge......;)
-
Head on up Greg if ya can...you won't regret it or be dissapointed,but I gotta warn ya that ya just might find yourself there every memorial day weekend there after ;) 8)
-
I'll check into it and see. Sure sounds fun. 7 1/2 hr drive. Maybe I could ride my bike with a stave and toolbox strapped on the back!
-
Do it Greg! You don't want to regret it later. :)
-Dan
-
Glad to have ya all back from Pappys and glad ya had fun!
I'll check into it and see. Sure sounds fun. 7 1/2 hr drive. Maybe I could ride my bike with a stave and toolbox strapped on the back!

Hate to hear the is a shoot that is not happening
But it will be good to see some holeinthebowchuck back at Marshall
Others are coming from that direction also Bob Berg will keep us chuckling I am sure
Chris not sure if you are coming or not but pretty sure your family is so you may as well and heard a rummer that Bills wife is too so bring him along , hate to see you two sitting home alone when you coulda been here !
Since Mrs Blackhawk is on here now , hope she chimes in and sets ya strait !
Hope we have to send someone after a can of Tomato juice to thin the chili down cause there are to many folks there Thurs. Eve. for the normal pot !!
Not sure if Jaap is coming from Georgia or just stopping in from elswere but thinking he maybe the farthest from home this year!
See ya soon !

At this time 2 weeks from today i'll be setting up my tent there! Can't wait to see everyone and play bows and arrows for a few days.
-
I will be there watching for you Paul !
-
Too bad, Greg. Was looking forward to seeing you there. Starting to get ants in my pants for Marshall!
-
Matt, will you have rawhide there for sale? I expect I'll be drooling over those blanks of yours again. If you saw the elk hair coat at the Classic at Teresa Asbell's booth, I could be talked into trading.... Not sure IF I will be there Friday night or Saturday morning but I'm excited to attend this year. 3 times in 25 years isn't bad!!
-
Getting a little itchy to be at Marshall, count down is starting. I'll really appreciate the cooler weather. Record temps here in KY and my AC is out. :o >:( Can't wait for cooler weather in a few weeks. :)

It was bon fires and flannels last year bassmaster, awesome archery gathering weather! Although there is a very nice shower to use, I still like keeping the sweat and bugs away if I can.
-
I plan to head north in 10 days and will be seeing some of you good folks a few days latter
Its almost here !!!
Takes a whole year to come around and goes so fast when it finally does !
Have fun

I think that I have a set of rawhide left. I didn't see Teresa's coat but, I would like to. Looking forward to seeing you again. I suppose that I better get cracking at more blanks. I sold/traded everything I had at Tennessee.

-
If it's not already taken, I'd like to have the spot we had last year, across from the pavillion. Ahhhh, I'm so excited! Less than a week! ;D
-
We will keep you close by for sure
We have to get Bruce and Cindy close also as he is on crutches this year
Tom has a camper this year so he has to fit in also
will most likely put the Berg's and Koppedrayer's up front
we will sort it all out Wednesday but there are plenty of good spots
The camper is level full but without any pearwood this year it should be good to go.
Now for the truck, if I have promised anyone anything or you need anything you may want to remind me now !
especially since I won't be seeing most of you for another year!
most of you will be there by one week from today Woohoo!
See ya real soon
-
Next week can't come soon enough! We will see how long I last at work on Wednesday >:D

Lots of calls and internet chatter !
I am heading out tomorrow after work so will check in here about 3pm then head north to Marshall see ya all when you get there! See the rest of you back here in a week or so

As luck would have it, or good planning on my part, I'm working in Marshall this week and will stop by around Wednesday night after work to hang out for a bit. I'm putting the finishing touches on a bow I started at the TN classic with Matt W and will bring it by for any advice. This one is a graduation gift for my nephew.
I won't be able to stay the whole weekend but I will get so
E time in Friday and some sat.
-
Hey I was wondering if anyone attending would happen to have some 5/16" 30-35# spine shafts that they would be willing to part with and bring? I was going to whip up a batch for Landon earlier but life got in the way.
Cannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnt wait! :D :D :D
-
Cody, I'm putting the finishing touches on a bunch of low 40's spined cane/bamboo/hill cane arrows. He is welcomed to try them out and see if any fly straight enough to work. I still need to wrap the feathers and put some field points on them but I'm hoping to get that done tomorrow.
-
Good to hear forest farmer...
Cody if push comes to shove he might be able to borrow a couple of my wife's...her arrows fly well out of all the 30-40 pound bows around my house
I'll be packing tonight to leave tomorrow right after work ;D
-
Cody: I'll also check to see what I have. I may have a few.
Ed: Looking forward to seeing you.
-
Yall have fun,I am sure you will. ;) :)
Pappy
-
Thanks guys, I'll give Larry from lost nation a call and have him bring some just in case.
-
I know it's only been a few weeks Sense the classsic but it will be good to see you guys again. You really make the newcomers feel welcomed, thx
Also, does anyone know if the good people from two tracks bows and wool will be there? I've been saving up for a hunting vest and I was hoping of meeting up with them before Friday if they are there. The phone number of the their web site does not work.
Anyone know how to contact them?
-
FF
pm sent

Thx heather! I will stop by on Thursday night after work. Tell Matt I may stop by the dark horse in marshall and pick up a growler or two of some Marshall brew for the camp fire. I'm sure blackhawk may join in for a pint.
Let me know if you guys are in camp tonight and I may drop by for a visit, it's only 10 mins from my hotel.
Cya soon
-
Pearly and I will be there in a hour or so. Come by for dinner

If you have food I can provide beverages, any requests on brew style? The brewery in Marshall has a good selection of more robust types but they also have a good amber.

Well, I hope you two have a good time! I was going to try to make it, but got an offer I couldn't refuse.....the WARDEN's family reunion. :'( Take pics!!!

Oh, Bummer Greg! Uh... I mean, what a wonderful offer! Too bad, was looking forward to having you there.
Dropped the little woman and Wee-Wicki off yesterday evening. They're enjoying camp, already. Had to return to home. Work sure gets in the way sometimes. Dylan and I will be back as soon as we can Friday after work/school.
-
Hope you're all staying for the weekend! I won't be in till Friday evening.
-
Ryan: We were wondering about you. Glad you're gonna make it.

Had a great time today. Fun course to shoot, friendly, like-minded people to shoot the breeze with, and smiling children of all ages carry bows and enjoying the day. Picked up some supplies from the Deshlers and Wirwickis, chatted with Norm Blaker, Pearly, Blackhawk, Buckeye Guy, paulsemp, Danzen Bar, Badly Bent, Dan and I'm sure I'm missing a few. Great weather too.
-
OO and I just got back to KY......All I can say ......as Bowtarist would say it "It was a gooder!" :)
Had a great time, met many a fine folk, talked bows and arrows the whole time ....well :-\ most of the time. Some of us fished a lot :) ;).
Good food and great people.
Till next time,
DBar

What a blast! Have not a picture to show though :-X Hopefully some of the others where taking them. Was able to deliver my trade bow in person and mess with him ;) I'm not a good story teller with typing so I'll let the clowns I was hanging with tell some of the story's...... A :laugh:a

I really enjoyed my first trip to Marshall. I bummed a ride with Bill and he fed me well during the trip. Thanks again Bill! I got to put some new faces with names which is always nice. Plus I got to spend some time with old friends. I tried to take a lot of pictures so I hope you guys don't mind me posting them.

I had an absolute blast, as usual. Its hard to beat the people and the grounds. Marshall is a special place. Thanks for taking the time to take AND post all the pics Yoder. I never took one. It seems time goes by too fast as is and taking pics only slows me down!
It was great seeing all my out of state buds that I only see once a year, I live for these few days guys in May.
-
Great event, really glad I made it there. The setting and grounds were perfect for this type of event and as always the people who attend are the best. Made some new friends and caught up with some old ones, all in all a very relaxing and enjoyable time. Whole lotta fun on the course, in camp and around the pavilion. Thanks to all who had a hand in putting on this gathering.
Only regret is that I didn't get the camera out but twice and only took a handful of pictures. Got a few from the Sat. night dinner where we all enjoyed Paul's savory smoked pulled pork and other goodies. A few pics. from the late night bow building session and a couple from the last morning walk through the course.
-
and last morning shooting the course.

Marshall was absolutely wonderful this year!!! Perfect weather and amazing people!
Here are some of the pics I took in between shooting and chasing kiddos ;)

Had a great time this year. So good to see and meet some of you. Can't wait till next year!
Also I forgot my belt sander! Anyone grab it or should I just go down and grab it when I can?
-
Matt has it Ryan.
-
Going through the pics made me happy that I was able to spent a little time with all of you, and sad that I wasn't able to spend more.
I'm finding that there is a real sense of community in the trad archery events and it gets better with each event I go to. I was happy to meet pearl drums, Greg semp, dansinbar, norm and many others during my quick stay.
I did manage to shoot a round with Cody "sorry about the arrows", and catch up with with Greg and Sharron and smokey.
Thx to miss heather and Matt for setting me up with two tracks, Chris and chuck have some great products and they a super nice people.
Special thanks to buckeye guy for getting people excited about this event, good job!
With any luck I will see you all at the Elm Hall shoot!

Who won the bear shoot?

I had a great time at my first Marshall experience. Thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome, it was nice to meet you all. Thanks to everyone who helped me with my bow project. I am already looking forward to next year.
-
I had a really good time at Marshall. Lots of shooting and bow building. It was a good time hanging out with friends and getting to know some new friends on this site.

Maybe next year we can learn to get the proper fit on quiver deployed emergency gas mask's? What do you guys think? Except you Clint, your vote doesn't count......cause and effect.

It's burned in our memories... eyes, noses & throats.
I again had a great time this year. It was great to see so so many people I haven't seen in so long, and meet new folks as well. I wish I had some pics to show but I didn't take any while out this weekend. Maby next year.
What A great surprise it was to be the recipient of Paul's trade bow as soon as I got to the shoot. That thing is a shooter and is sure to join me in the woods this fall. I can't thank you enough.
