Well I am going to do it! On march 17th and 18th here in Southeast Iowa (Burlington) I with the help of a few others are going to host a Mini IA Jam!!! If you might be interested reply to this post and I will start making a list so that I can send you details. I know that some are coming and are going to work on projects and that is great. There will be tanning, knappin, bow making, shafting etc... bring a friend if you like. My home is in the country so plan on shooting. My wife said she would make a pile of food. Her cookin is great!!!!!

I have two more that contacted me so looks like a nice group forming.

Hi John:
I just read about the Mini Ia Jam.I don't know if anyone is doing this but if the weather on the 17th is cooperative I could bring a yearling deer hide to frame, flesh, dehair, and brain tan.It can be done all in a day starting very early in the morning and ending in the evening.To the white dressed softened stage anyway.Getting it smoked would be pushing it timewise plus I sew it in a tube to smoke it and use my sweatshop singer for that.We'll see once.If you need any help putting this on I can be available hopefully.Looking forward to the event.
-
heck yes lets do it!
-
Got the OK today to take some time off and go break rocks. (Boss thinks I have plenty of rocks in my head anyway). Looking forward to it!!
-
Hey that great Beven. I made a post in around the campfire that has somemore details about the vent. I will post some of the information in this post also later today.
-
If you google John Whittaker you will see a lot of cool books he has written and some on Flint knapping. He is coming and will be demostrating the Atlatl and will bring extras for all of us to try.....How cool is that!!!
-
Bevan invited me along and it looks like my schedule may accomodate. Is this restricted to rockers or are we woodwhackers allowed?!?! >:D
-
Yes come on down jw
-
Just found this post, and want to let ya'll know that I'll be there! (Hope that doesn't change any minds. ::) ;D
I plan to be workin on some rocks and maybe a yeller stick or two. Lookin forward to this!!
-
What's the count now? How many rock-knockers, stave molesters, or abo-wannabees are coming?
-
18 have said they are coming.
-
Sheesh! Getting crowded!
-
On the very slim chance that I could possibly be around, I will certainly make a showing if I'm within say 50 miles or so. Enjoyed meeting you John, I certainly wish I could visited longer and maybe learned a thing or two more from you. Thanks for the stone! Josh
-
;Josh your welcome and it was great meeting you also. That atlatl was awlsome. I hope that you can make it to the event.
-
Dang it! I will be in NC doing tracking dog stuff that weekend. Wish I could make it. Maybe will see some of you at the Waterloo archery and primitive expo this weekend. - I will be in a booth for Mule Creek Outfitting with my Teckel and some yellow bows.
-
18 so far...Man it might take all day to meet everyone.....LOL.The back end of the pickup is getting fuller by the day.The neighbors will think what the heck is going on there?....LOL.
-
Ya but they are country like me. One is coming over to play the guitar and three others are come to check it out and make points.
-
The extended forcast says 60 degrees and partly sunny. So I hope the weather hold because that will be a nice day.

A couple updates on the Ijam: I think our bow club will let us use some old 3d targets and I found a couple 3d deer targets on clearance at Farm King. I even had some time to make a score card for the mini course (see below)! Beadman said he was bringing a chronograph which I think is cool. I for one would like to know how fast my bows shoots! forecast looks OK and the shop is ready for bow building. I cant believe it is going to be in the 70s this coming week. 8 more days till the MINI IJAM!!!

I do not have a 3D target, but I have a self standing 'pillow' target and some paper target(s) I can bring if you want.
-
Sounds great, please bring it, and thanks.
-
I am getting to the point that I can hardly get to sleep at night thinking about this. Bevan and I should be rolling into Burlington on Friday nite. We'll be looking for a buffet with a senior citizen's discount where we can party mighty hearty!
-
Scott and I will be at the house so call us when your getting close and we will work out a plan. We will eat out or eat it depends on what is left to do at that point. Anyway the club said today that I could use a number of 3d targets and they would assist on Friday setting up the range which I thought was real cool. So with everyones targets (the club, mine, scott's and Devan's) it looks like the shoot is going to be fun. There will be a polar bear in the group.

Annette made a mighty fine little sign for the event.

The forcast keeps getting better and better. 73 during the day and 60 at night. The precent chance of rain continues to drop. This will be great for the tanning demo!
-
This is gonna be fun! Tell Annette I love the sign.
-
She said your welcome JW.
One of the shots on the 3d course will be at this duck in the pond. For those of you that are quack shots.

You keep telling jokes like that you better learn to duck.

It looks like I will be in IA this weekend. Unfortunately, I will be at the opposite side of IA. I hope it is every bit the success I believe it will be. Josh
