Title: 12th annual Tn. Classic who's coming
Post by: RG on January 06, 2009, 07:07:23 pm
Some might think it is a bit early to start this thread but we are already making plans. Are you? Just would like to know
it is kind of a gauge for us It is May 1st-3d You can read all about it and see directions on our Web Sight ( http://www.Twinoaksbowhunters.com (http://www.Twinoaksbowhunters.com) )
Someone better than myself with the puter could attach the link. Also if we know if you intend to camp it helps with the plans
Only 4 Months to go can't wait

Ron

Fixed your link, Ron, I hope.

Believe it or not- the house we were living in when I was born, my dad bought from the guy in the pic there. His name is Herbert "Cowboy" Coward. He used to be a gunfighter at the Ghost Town theme park in Maggie Valley near where I live. Burt Reynolds spent a while as a gunfighter there, and that's where he met Cowboy and got him into the Deliverance movie. They said that when they were explaining the character he would be playing in the movie to him, they asked him if the fact that his character took part in the rape of another man would be a problem for him. He said, "Hell, Ive probably done worse."  :o ;D

I am sure we will come up with something to eat,won't be as good but it will keep us from starving. ;) :) lots of grilling if I am doing it. I think with the new magazine out should bring in more that ant sure what they would get,PA really done it up right for TwinOaks this issue and I thank them for that.I look forward to this every year,it is the only time I get to see some of you guys/gals

Mullet, I haven't made any wine in several years now...and what few bottles I have left I worry have gone bad. Had some at New Years that was still in good shape. I gave all my chemical supplies away to another wine maker so they wouldn't go to waste, might have to buy some new and get a batch started... :)

Pappy and crew, Just wondering if you guys ever have some work weekends for folks that live within driving distance to come down and help with the labor and prep for event. I would be willing to donate some time and labor helping out if you need it. Just a thought, I know you guys hit it pretty hard getting ready for this event.

Tracy
Title: Re: 12th annual Tn. Classic who's comming
Post by: GregB on January 13, 2009, 02:08:52 pm
Tracy, we've never really asked for help prior to the Classic, although we have asked for some help during the Classic if someone had extra time and wanted to help newbies with their bows. We usually are shorthanded in that category.

I think I can safely speak for Pappy and say...come on down, or up as the case may be. ;D This coming weekend we have a club meeting, and later BigA and I and Bob from Tn.Trad. Arch. Assoc. are going to a local church event to support the kids archery shoot. Within the next few weeks we will be working on getting hickory staves ready for the Classic. That involves laying out the bow on the stave, roughing it in using a band saw and rasps, then any straightening and reflexing using forms and heat guns. In the past we've tried to have between 20-30 bows to this level.

We also work on the archery course of course. ;) It would be fine for you to come down some weekend or even Friday night if you'd like and spend the night and help the next day do something.
Title: Re: 12th annual Tn. Classic who's comming
Post by: TRACY on January 13, 2009, 03:21:41 pm
That sounds great Greg. I think I'm only 4-5 hours away to the North of you and would enjoy helping out where help is needed. Really trying to keep the Classic dates open this year so I can finally make it down there in May. I'll keep in touch and find a weekend where you guys could use some extra hands and help.

Thanks, Tracy

Hey, guys, I don't post on here much, but I thought I'd put my 2 cents in. I camped next to "cracker" last year and he's a darn good cook. At least it was good then. Pappy, I'd like to help in any way I can this year. Just let me know when I get there what you need me to do. It'll probably be Wed. or Thur. before I can get there, though. David

David not sure if you will be lucky or unlucky to meet a yooper, up to you decide, I just happen to be a reguular guy that
is proud of where he lives and the history and traditions of the Upper Peninsula. The UP is good place to live, no big cities, lots of
woods and water, low crime rates, neighbors that willingly help each other out, you pump your gas before paying for it and the attendant
isn't cowering behind bullet proof glass, if ya break down on the side of the road someone will stop to help ya, not rob, rape and/or kill ya.
On the downside their ain't many jobs and we have real winters.

Looking forward to meeting you and your dad :)

As to will you ever be the same, after
experiencing pappy's place and all the fine folk from all over this country, the hospitality, food,
and comraderie I think you will be changed for life.

Dana da UP is a lot like the deep south except for the weather. I'd dare to say that you would prthatobably fit in pretty well cept for having to listen to a bunch of yankee jokes.Oh and you would have to give up some sweat to survive the 98 degree 98 percent humidity in the summer. Jobs are getting tight here also. Other than that its just peachy in Bartow Ga.Ron

Gotta agree with some of the others the magazine did a smash up job for the classic. You can't buy advertising like that.It was like being there all over again for those of us who were lucky enough to attend. My hat is of to the magazine folks and the Twin oaks bow hunters.

I don't think you'll find "bushcraft" gatherings outside of the United Kingdom, but this question is like a man standing knee-deep in water asking where he can get a drink. :) The TN classic is fairly close to north Alabama, and has lots of primitive skills stuff going on. I don't know of a better place to learn to build bows. there's always a lot of knapping going on, arrow making, firestarting, a little of this and that. It's not one of those primitive gatherings where hundreds of dreadlocked hippies dance naked around the fire and chant at the full moon, but it's a great time and a great place if you're more interested in actually learning how to do stuff than you are in smoking doobies and singing kum-bah-ya. :)

Kenneth....It is probably the same distance for You or I....it's 950 miles for me....if you decide things are too tight but you have the time to go ....and splitting the expenses would help....let me know...and instead of taking my Scooter...We could pile into the Shelby....or maybe I could talk my Wife out of Her Truck for a Week....it's a Thought....a lot closer to drive to Borger Texas...then split the Trip...if you know what I mean..

Hillbilly, you sure are a character. I know that there are alot of get togethers but most of them specialize in one skill, and its usually the same skill over and over. I dont know about any hippie gatherings but me and my kin have been known to have some pretty festive ho-downs. Gotta love that home made spirit.

Michael, thanks for the offer. it is probably 500+ miles from my house to yours + 950 more so makes for a very long road trip. Last year I worked a half day thursday and made it to the airport in Durango for an early PM flight with a two hour layover in Denver and to Nashville. Made it to Pappys place about midnight in a rental car. Had all day friday and Sat. and half day Sunday, made it home about nine oclock Sunday night  and back to work Monday. Seems like the air fare and car rental was about 500 or less. any way it is cheaper for me than missing extra days of work and I might need the extra days off for hunting season. Again thanks for the offer and hope to see ya there.    Kenneth

I've only been to the last 2 Classics but it has become #1 for me in archery shoots and/or gatherings. The main reason is Pappy and the Twin Oaks guys(and their gals) and the hospitality they pour all over you. Having the gang from Primitive Archer and watching all those bows being built and the assistance that is available and willing really makes you feel like you are somewhere special. Heck, it even draws PBR swilling Transylvanians from Germany. Can't get much better than that...unless Kenneth shows up again! 8) 8) 8) Bring your water wings Kenneth! ;D

Title: Re: 12th annual Tn. Classic who's comming
Post by: Caveman on January 18, 2009, 09:32:31 am
so whats this classic thing really about. for the most part, I hear alot of archery. not having even begun to have a bow, shafts, or points ready, I feel I'm really missing out. I have a deep and sincere need to excel in all things primitive. I know it may sound lame to a few of you but I have this unknown determination within me to know all that I can, but with so little time and even less hands on training... I dont know how to get on the lvl I want to be on. I would feel much better learning directly from a veteran of the crafts. I have a tendency to falter otherwise.
Title: Re: 12th annual Tn. Classic who's comming
Post by: DanaM on January 18, 2009, 10:32:08 am
Caveman pick up the new issue of Primitive Archer magazine, there are some good articles in there on the Tennesse Classic and peoples
experciences there. The Classic is a shoot open to selfbows and FG bows, and then there is a selfbow challenge, you bring a stave or buy one there
for a minimal price, build the bow and shoot it for score on Sunday. there is bow building going on from before sunup to long after sundown. Lots of veteran bowmakers there to lend a hand and offer tips. In addition to the bow building you will most likely find people practicing fire making, arrow building, string making, cordage making,
atlatls, flintknapping etc. As if this wasn't enough there is good food, ,aking new friends, reuniting with old friends and an all around good time :)

As for you wanting to excel in all things primitive, there are no shortcuts, it takes hard work, dedication and time. And just when you think your really good at something someone else comes along even better. But thats just life in general, I see your only 23 years old you have many years ahead of you to practice, don't be in a rush rather take your time and savor each new experience. Life is short so why rush through it :)
Title: Re: 12th annual Tn. Classic who's comming
Post by: Little John on January 18, 2009, 10:55:10 am
Caveman - this is definatley the place for ya. Any way you have plenty of time to get a bow made before handand make one there also.

Pat - You are right, a primitive air matress might come in handy at the Classic. If the water rises too much during the night you could just float around on your bed and not have to make a run for the primitive car.

It's all about the journey and not the destination!   I hope the destination is never achieved because then the fun is over!
   If I could only go to one archery event a year , the Classic would be it! 8)  You will learn more about building wood bows and be able to discuss wood bow building with some of the best wood bow builders around...and you will walk away with a feeling of accomplishment and a beautiful bow you made yourself. Throw in eating good food, laughing until your belly hurts and best of all becoming a member of the Primitive Archer family; what more could you ask for.

King Ron, put them Yoopers up on the hill, then we can still say their up north. Hope thirty pack is still liveable, could you bomb it for us and vacuum all the lady bugs out. Get one of the youngin's to do it and I'll pay them for it. hope to come down in Feb. or Mar. to work on my bow, I will let you know.

I saw the latest PA issue over the weekend and they sure did an outstanding job promoting the Classic...we really do appreciate it! Also appreciate all the nice comments you guys made concerning the event.

I think one of the main reasons that the event is successful is that our hobby just seems to attract good folks! Yeah, that includes Yoopers as well!  ;D The bow-making and all the other primitive stuff going on is great, but the time spent with friends and meeting new friends is the best part I think. I'm lucky in that I get to spend a lot of time at the club and enjoy friends and hobbies year round. It seems though, that Twin Oaks is most alive during the Classic! Everyone is leaving whatever problems life may be throwing at them behind at home, and are just enjoying the good company and comradarie. ;)

I'd say the when it actually gets down to it...the only poking those yoopers are going to be in for is poking a little fun, which they're more then capable of returning the favor and then some I'd expect! ;D

Caveman, A Yooper is a person(? ::) ) from the Upper Peninsula(UP) of Michigan thus...Yooper.   A Sotahead is from Minnesota.

Caveman:  I see you are in Huntsville.  I am from Moulton.
The Tn. Classic is my ( go to ) event of the year.

I learned more about building bows, arrows and many other "bushcraft" skills in two days at my first Classic than I had figured out in years of working by my self.  There are lots of very talented people there and they are all willing to help.  It is only 176 miles up to Pappy's farm from my house. 

Thanks
David

Hope you can make it Caveman. Looking forward to seeing you again Ridgerunner. Jesse-S, that's a rumor about Grant, don't know for sure if he was serious or not, but I'm guessing he was...work related conflict. I don't guess he's willing to quit is job so he can make the Classic and cook for all of us. ;D Yall got to make it regardless though! :)

We'll figure something out, I'm planning to make some of my soon to be famous chicken and dumplings! :) Already famous within my own family... ;)

Ya lots of twists. I got an email from Mike Yancey this morning,he wants to come set up.
That should be a good added vendor.I love his stories and he is a truly nice guy in person.I was
hoping he would make it someday.I still ant sure about Grant but like Greg said we will get by ,I guess. ??? Jesse may not be 3 dinner bells a day but we want starve I promise. :) May have
to utilize the big cooker more instead of keeping up with the black pots so I will have time to
do something else,Grant make it look so easy. :)

Title: Re: 12th annual Tn. Classic who's comming
Post by: FlintWalker on January 22, 2009, 01:53:50 am
Caveman, you wouldn't have to spend anything if you didn't want to.
 You could however, buy staves, arrows, a bow or pretty much anything archery related.   If you shoot the course, it cost $20 I think ???  Then there's concessions and such.
  This ain't a big money event. Of course, the more money you spend while your there...the better ;D
  Eddie Parker, you're a smart A** ;D  If you knew how bad I wanted to kill an Oseola, you wouldn't even mention you live in Florida. I'm bringing my calls and gun.  If I've killed out by then, I'd love to try to call one in for you or anyone else for that matter.  I just love the sound of an old gobbler sounding off before first light and if Pappy has as many turkeys as he does deer, it shouldn't be too hard to find one. 8)

Not sure  but I think about $200.00 but ours go from March through Feb and includes
deer season also.You can take 3 bucks and 3 doe a day from Sept.till Jan and 1 more Turkey either sex.So I guess if a person could make it back for deer season that ant to bad.  :) You can take 4 Tom's during the regular Turkey season.  :)

Shannon, I think Eddie might ought to bring one hog just for your own sake...maybe we could square you and Jesse off across a table from each other and see who falls over backwards in their chair first. Jesse is probably at a disadvantage right now due to just eatin' MRE's. Although they're high colorie I think.

Eddie, how you reckon sliced pineapple's cooked in with those collard greens would taste like? Could you try some before you come? Might could be a new annual dish for the Classic Pot Luck Dinner. ;D Okay, I'm gettin' too silly... :)

  Tiller, if it takes you 8 months to make a bow, you don't need to take up turkey hunting.  Your next bow would be years in the making, cause you'd spend what little free time you have hunting ;D

They taste SSSSSOOOOOO good! Too!!!

Had my first taste of wild Turkey at the Classic last year. Man it's so much better than the store bought turkey. Plus, you get to use the feathers for arrows!!!

I know Shanon. I'm a glutton for punishment. We have some Turkeys on the island here now. They tend to sit right on the road into town and make a real traffic hazard.   If we tried to hunt them though, the human variety of turkey we have on the island would gobble their heads off about it! Dumb birds!  ::)

The nut cases are keeping you from coming out here?  Trust me, you start talking bows and guns and hunting. They tend to leave ya alone.

Hay Pappy, GregB, KingRon:
The Johnstone knapping contest was mentioned on the board somewhere.

Question:  Is there going to be another Jonhstone Knapping contest this year?

If so, I think I can supply the Johnstone.  It is 1972 model and  Babyblue on the outside.

Due to a very slow leak the bathroom floors have rotted out in my parents house so they are doing a complete rebuild on them.

Sounds like vintage thunderchert to me, be a pleasure to work not like the cheap modern stuff :P
I could supply some really nice trophies from work, as a matter of fact I have a primary tank down right now
and there are some beauties just laying on the bottom >:D

David, we're definitely having the contest again...got it hanging in the bow making area with Cowboy's name as the winner of 2008. I'd say that blue stuff ought to work out real good! ;)

10-4 Greg:
I just called Daddy and he said that he would try his best to save the tank and the lid for me.

He is ( down in his back ) right now so all he is able to do is watch.

I will let you know when I get my hands on the johnstone or not.

Thanks
David

That should get it done EL. Tiller I think the gun thing is covered. John we have a launcher
we adapted from a old skeet thrower.I love shooting them.If we can get some good weather we will run it at night,we can light the whole area. It will be run during the day also.The vendor list is growing
we have 11 so far and haven't heard from several that usually come.I expect 15/20 along with all the tail gaters.

Hey Mike, I'm sorry you're going through some tough times right now. Maybe looking forward to the trip between now and May might help you handle some of the bumps in the road...hope so.

Last year Dana intended to work on bows some, but so enjoyed just visiting and getting to know folks that he was completely satisfied with just hanging out with everyone. Pretty good way to have a good time and relax... ;)

I don't know how anyone manages to finish a bow with all that is going on. Unless you do like Tiller and put a whole week into it. If I get to come maybe Pat will bring my half finished holmie. Making a half of a bow per year might be doable and still get to do all the other fun stuff. L.O.L.       Kenneth

I always plan on getting in the selfbow challenge and have a stave roughed out
but never get it out of the hot box. :) Just to much else to do and to many people to talk and visit with.Maybe if we could get one year without rain I would have more time.That usually takes up
my Sat.trying to make sure folks are confrotable and as dry as possible.  :)

Guys, put me in the selfbow challenge please. But this year I think a roughed out stave would be wonderful. I want to spend some time chatting and doing all the fun stuff.  I'm thinking Eastern woodlands D bow this time.  Pappy, do you think ya could rough out one of your staves like this for me? Something about the simplicity of a wood with even limbs, no fades and a working handle says something to me.  Last years bow was amaizing but like Dana said it took me all week from stave to bow and I wasn't even done with it then!!! Boy did it come out nice though!!!! I'm happy!!!  ;D ;D ;D

I'm with the Long Haired Hippy Biker on this one!

I'm off Tea now Grant and onto Coffee. Seems that was not what was upsetting my stomach. Just as long as its not that Starbucks crud they try to pass off as coffee. Man thems burned beans!

Still checking out the hunting license stuff. Seems like Turkey is considered a BIG GAME animal. Jumps the license up from $51 to $175 smoozers!!! Man that smarts!!! One bird $175. Lets see...I think I can purchase 12 or more tame ones in the grocery store for that price. Man that is sticker shock!!!  I think you can hunt all other game with the license though. But dont think I will be arround to do it in the fall.  >:(

 Like I told somebody else, it's cheaper to beg wild game and fish than have fun getting it yourself. If you hunt to eat and not because you like doing it, than the grocery store is cheaper. And it's not about the killin'.

Ok, I'm a little slow in finding threads, I just found this one, better late than never. God willing and the creek don't rise I'll be joining Dana for the ride down to see all you fine folks. I'm looking forward to meeting alot of you and seeing the 12th annual classic. I'm willing to pitch in and help out any way I can Pappy since Dana and I are so far planning on showing up Tues. I can cook(went to chef school for 2 1/2 years and worked as a chef for 15 yrs) other than that my wife says I'm pretty useless.
Hey Dtiller, I'll see if I can remember to bring the book on kayak building by George Putz for you to look at.
I'm planning on bringing my knapping tools, maybe I can learn something from the experts.
So everyone hang on to your hats, the yoopers are invading Tennesee. Looks like I need to stock up on the pasties, cheese, and brats, hopefully they'll be pleasing gifts to our hosts.

Mark, your chef background might come in handy. Grant is used to cooking for a lot of folks, and Pappy and I aren't really...might could you some help on planning a couple of meals earlier in the week prior to the actual shoot.

Hello "The Hawk" (alias cha ching) ;D, sure have been enjoying the lacing book and lacing needles you sent me!

Dana, I'll have to look for that CD...although it's good listening, it doesn't get as much playing time in my truck as "The Eagles". ;) "On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair...". ;D

Now we might actually use the unscented stuff if it is trully unscented. The deer do have a keen sense of smell...maybe some mild acorn scented soap...what do ya think David? :)  Could you reach down in that bag of scents you got and pull out some southern woods natural scents...skunk excluded please. ;)

 Greg I think Tiller still has some of the cow patty special, Since most the deer are getting used to being around cattle I think it might work well ;D
 Juniper Junkie and I are talking over plans to come down. But since my parents live in NE Texas Lulyn and I might go there and then drive up for the classic, still bouncing ideas. How far is it from just north of Tyler (Yantis,Texas)
 
 Just found the thread and sounds like it will be a hoot just watching people. ::)

Don't know for sure how far that is but maybe Cowboy or somewhere from close to there can tell you.I think I have a brief case that belongs to you anyway,probably cheaper to drive and get it rather than mail it,it's heavy.We would love to have yall and I am sure you would have a great time.
The address to the farm is 1079 Ashley,Rd. Chapmansboro,TN. 37035 if you want to map quest it
and see how far.This is great. :) :)

 Thanks Pappy. Just hang on to the brief case. The idea was to have some of our talented knappers on this site,put their refining scars in that blade, as it is still fairly crude and just roughed out,so we are planning on working it down some more when we get there. And would like others help  to as well. ;)

Pappy I think I started a trend. There seems to be a larger and larger migration of those from the West ending up at Pappys ranch in May. Hmmm! Maybe we should call it "The Great Eastern Migration!"

Keenan, that would be fantastic if you and Juniper could make it out there with us. It will blow your mind!!! Oh, by the way if the doc. still has you on pain killers you wont need them as the spring water out there works just as well if not better!  ;D

Guys, wait till you see some of the work both Keenan and Dave Cheney do. Its really cool!  Dave (IE: Juniper Junkie) if you are flying in on Tuesday evenning let me know and we may be able to go in dutch on a rental car if ya like.

Pappy, I'm bringing my favorite bow making too with me this time. The grand ol' Ferriers rasp! Guaranteed to take off excess wood so fast your head will spin!

I will also bring my knapping kit. Anyone bringing some nice stuff to break? I think my tools are still dented from last years bashing. Man, you guys sure like the tough stuff! Keenan, wait to you see james work some of the rholite and tough quartzite. Makes me cring just thinking on how hard he pounds that stuff!!!!

Hey, I just thought of something. Anyone want to do a heat treating demo? I would really like to learn how its done. If we can start on Tuesday evenning it should be ready by Thursday morning???

Ok, I need to head back to work!

I'm planing on coming down next weekend the 13-15 or the following weekend, 20-22, what ever is better for you. I'll call you tonight at work, I'll be working also, talk to you then. Steve's out of town next week, if I come down the 13-15, he said he would stop in for the weekend on his way home, if so I'll have to stop by his house and pick up his bows.

We have nothing for rock up here in da UP, maybe someone will have some decent rock to sell, did anyone have any last year?

I was thinking about stopping at Twin Oaks and seeing ifn'g I could pick out a stave or two before they all get picked over by guys like cookwood, Da Yooper , D. Tiller, Mullett , Cowboy, Leaping Bear, Pat B, Hillbilly, Ryano and a bunch of other names that I trying to think of. But it's way to cold and I remembered why I moved to Orlando. Right Mullet ????

I hear ya Jesse! Me too! Double CHA-CHING!!!! I sure wish Osage and Hickory trees grew around here. All we have is Vine Maple and Yew. Those take hundreds of years to grow to be a good dimension for bow making. One guys said he knew where to get Ocean Spray that was 3" thick. That's rare though. Its about as tough as Osage and makes about as good a bow. But finding anything useful is tough. Makes great arrows though!

Now to figure out how to ship all that bow wood up here!!!!  ;D

Man, I've never been to the classic before but all the enthusiasm is getting me pumped! can't wait to check everything out. I'm sure after 12 hours in a vehicle with me you guys may have to work to get Dana back to normal, shock therapy may be needed.
I'm a foodie, I'm looking forward to seeing what the locals eat down there. Whats popular? I'm guessing grits, collard greens, biscuits and gravy? Am I even close? I could just come to eat!

I've seen many the time where all our FIRST plates were more or less the same size, and even though I didn't go back for seconds and others did...I'm the guy that eats a lot and gets his picture taken at every meal eaten at the club! Can't seem to get out of it...I think it's a life time sentence. I'd like to get the camera diverted to someone else for a while when eatin'...I've done my time! ;D

I have been saving for awhile for the classic myself.I really hope I get the chance to make it down. I have been wondering though about how much a stave would cost. I would really like to buy a stave or two while I'm there. Pappy was talking about the club havin hickory staves to get ready for the classic. Are these going to be for sale? I would love to get in the self bow challenge.
Title: Re: 12th annual Tn. Classic who's coming
Post by: DanaM on February 14, 2009, 07:54:31 pm
Kenny don't quote me but I believe the hickory staves are $20 for the selfbow challenge. But other than that
other folks will have stuff for sale or trade. PM me and let me know if yer coming and I will bring a stave free of charge :)
If ya ask nice I might even help ya rough it out and get it bending ;) :D

Thanks DanaM, I would really appreciate that. I have been planning to come for a long time. I wanted to come last year but wasn't able to make it. I have been savin up a little for the trip and so I could buy a stave. I feel like a kid waitin on Christmas. :)I don't know any of you all but I know alot about you from the posts and the PA magazine. Lookin forward to meetin you all.I will be there unless something crazy happens between now and may. Ill look you up for the stave when I get there. Ill ask for DanaM Yooper.  ;D
I'm tryin to get someone to go with me but if not I'm still comin down. Anyone else on here from Ohio? Ill ask real nice for some much needed help from you to Dana.  :)                                          Kenny

Post by: Jesse on February 15, 2009, 12:35:18 pm
Kenny you dont have to ask where the Yooper is. It will be very clear who the yooper is when you get there ;D.  Just for your information there are a few basic rules when dealing with yoopers. Its not a good idea to give them candy. They can get hyper. Offering a yooper free beer is the best way to make friends with them. If a yooper passes gas in front of you dont be offended its their way of saying you are now friends.  :D

Post by: Pappy on February 16, 2009, 06:20:05 am
Sounding good,hope you can make it Kenny,I know you will like it.Like Dana said it is $20.00
to register for the self bow challenge and there is a lot of wood around to trade for or buy.
We have Hickory for sale at 25 to 40 $ but there are a lot more around.Depending on what you want. So much is given away I couldn't keep up last year.All me and Greg are trying to do is cover cost for the shop.Hope everyone understands that.Any other time I would give you the wood and work in the shop for free. It is kind of what keeps us going for the year.  ;) :)

I think Dana made friends with just about everyone he met! ;D  That is true about Dana making a lot of friends...but I don't know of him having to pass gas to do it. ;) I do believe the part about offering a yooper a beer to seal a friendship though. :)

What kind of demonstration's have folks signed up for so far? Wasn't Tiller going to cook rocks with Mullet? I don't remember after that...need to get a list together.

Post by: venisonburger on February 16, 2009, 02:54:55 pm
I was going to comment on the gas passing thing, if that were the case I'm makin friends everytime I lift move my leg. oops, I just made another friend, "hey friend... why are your eyes watering?" I think the gas is caused by the rutabaga's that we eat in our pasties and our venison consumption not to mention the beer that washes it down.
I'm willing to be the full plate poster child if you need a break Greg. It would probably make a better picture than me trying to break rocks although they're both pictures of an event you can lose fingers in.

Everytime I think I've got yall off of picking on Tiller and talking about..."who's working on a bow during the Classic?" for instance, yall start picking on Tiller again. If you're not careful you'll tick him off and he won't come to the Classic, and then who will you have to pick on during the Classic? ;D

Beside's, you guys are getting on the top of his list and that mean's he plans to bring you some of his sweet smelling soap! We barely had the cabin aired out before hunting season...didn't want it following us to the woods! You working on some natural scents yet? ;)

Good idea Pat! But I have some special things planned for both Dana and Keenan. Lets just say they will be smelling like a rose by the time the classic is over!!!!

Revenge is sweet.... SMELLING!!!!

Got an unscented soap Greg. Still have not had time to work on anything else. My business partner/mom has been in the hospital the last couple days. She is doing ok now but it's been tough.

I think of the ragging these guys give me to be about equal to that they give you about eating. Just means they like ya! (Though the retribution they will be getting will be quite something else!!!  >:D)

David, Tiller's right. You have no idea. 8)
  It's so much fun down there, I live 125 miles from Pappys and would ride a bicycle if that was the only way I had to get there. ;D
  You be sure to bring that bow I sent you, if she's still holding together.  I want to see you shoot it.

I really did get some nice bands for making sling shots, I'm supposed to be using them for exercise
but I just tell em my dog ate them and they give me new ones
Dana, I think it would be therapeutic for you to wrap one of those rubberbands around your head like a sweat-band...everytime you're tempted to take another verbal stick jab at Tiller, grab the rubber band at your forehead...extent your arm full length...and let go! ;D You'll kill two birds with one stone...get your physical therapy and cure your need to pick on poor Tiller at the same time. ;D

Tiller, that unscented version might do the trick during hunting season.

David, I'm sure you'll have a great time and learn alot. Just be selective as to what you want to learn... ;D

Just read about this event in PA, and can't wait to attend.  My daughter is probably just as excited as I am, can't wait to build her own bow.  Need to sign up anywhere for anything?  We've got a popup camper, but would we be better off in a tent?

Do I have to pay to shoot?  I saw entry fees for the competition and I do not plan on doing it but can I still shoot?

How far away is it from Nashville?  Is there an address?
Title: Re: 12th annual Tn. Classic who's coming
Post by: D. Tiller on February 22, 2009, 07:37:17 pm
The practice range is open to all, I believe. It's not to far Northwest of Nashville in Clarcksville. I think Pappy has some directions he can send to ya.
Title: Re: 12th annual Tn. Classic who's coming
Post by: Pappy on February 23, 2009, 07:01:35 am
The Camper will be fine,I will find you a spot,You can sign up when you get there,The practice
range is open to all that register for the shoot,If you plan on building a bow you will need to register,
It is $20.00 for the selfbow challenge or any other class you want to shoot in.It's not really a money thing but it is the only way the Club makes money to keep this thing going,I promise you will get
you moneys worth. :) There is no charge for Camping. Yall are going to have to lay off Tiller,he is going to be my house guest for the week. :) ;) I want him in a good mood. ;) :) It is about 30 miles from Nashville,you take 24w toward Clarksville/Fort Campbell to exit 19 get off and turn left over the Interstate go to 41 a [about a half mile] turn right go about 5 miles and turn left on OakPlanes rd.
Look for TwinOaks signs and Smith Salvage yard signs.We will have a large sign at OakPlanes road
and signs that will show you where to turn from there.The address is 1079 Ashley rd.Champmansboro,TN.37035 if you want to map quest. See yall soon.

Post by: Hillbilly on February 24, 2009, 12:41:50 pm
I always threaten to, but I drive 6 hours down there to see people and do stuff that I can't at home. I always seem to have too many other things I want to do down there to ever get much done on a bow. I work on them when I get back home. I may try again this year, though.
Title: Re: 12th annual Tn. Classic who's coming
Post by: gothmog on February 24, 2009, 03:18:16 pm
Thats the plan for both my daughter and I.  What else is going on?  This being our first time, we'd like to do as much as possible.  That said, I've made 3 board bows already and will have 2 more finished before we get there, and tillering is always a problem for me.  Would like to pick up some knowledge from this event to make this bow making thing easier, not to mention making a bow from a stave instead of a board if I can find one.  Besides bow making and shootin, what else can we do and learn?  Thanks!

David, you forgot to mention the camp fire to stand around and watch! That's one of my favorite past-times! ;D

David covered a lot of it. We have a couple of practice ranges, and a 40 target 3D course that the actual shoot will be held on. There may be some string making going on as well. What you don't see happening, you can ask questions about, because there will be a lot of experienced bowyers there...many from the PA forum.

The fact that this event has turned into our largest for the year by far and continues to get bigger each year accounts to the fact that folks are having a good time I think... :)

This is an unsolicited endorsement for the TN Classic. I went last year and had a good time. Free camping good food nobody gouging you for money although I was pleased and honored to throw some bucks in the donation jars to help with food sanding belts saw blades and what not. I also took some cuts of meat which I gave to the cook to use as he saw fit and he didn't let me down. Will I be back this year, definately unless something bad happens to stop me. If there is anyone in the Dublin GA area who would like to share a ride let me know I'll be leaving on Monday and returning on Sunday.

...and don't forget the selfbow challenge! For a nominal fee you get a hickory stave and help from many wood bowyers as you build yourself a bow. On Sunday you can shoot your new bow in a competition against other self bow challenge participants.  8) This way you can try a stave and have all the help you could need right there with you.

Hi,

I would like to come.  I need to go back to read all the posts but wonder what the cost for the class to build a self bow would be?  

I have a boo/osage glued up now and have a boo/ipe in the works but sure would like to learn the tillering process...books are fine but watching and learning by doing are the way I learn the best.

I would bring my Casita (small fiberglass trailer) if I can still get into a class to learn to make a bow.  Will read the posts to see if you bring your own wood or if you can buy the wood there...tools?

Any response appreciated,

Thanks,

Rand

It is $20.00 for the self bow challenge,you can bring your own wood or there is plenty there to buy or trade for.The selfbow challenge is for selfbows but you could build one and bring your glue ups and we will help on the tiller,there are many there that build them kind of bows.The camper is fine we will find you room.Hope you can make it.

Thanks Ronnie,I forgot to answer that for him,we have a lot of tools but sometimes get short
when we really get a crowd. That is why we try and register everyone in the challenge will
have a place to work. Don't mind anyone working on bow even if they ant in the Challenge,
that is what we are all about, but the ones that enter need to get the benches and tools first.

Something that we have noticed though, a lot of folks are repeat from previous Tn. Classic's and don't require as much help...that tell's me that we're at least doing some good. :)

Man are the growth rings dense on this puppy. It not very long but I thought I may be able to get a short sinew backed bow out of it. We shall see!!!

Rand,
All you need to do is show up Friday or earlier, and we can take care of everything then. I think you'll enjoy the event, and it is a great opportunity to see a lot of primitive going's on...besides the obvious bowmaking that takes place. If you want to check out some pictures of last years event, go to about page 98 of the "Life is Good" thread under "Primitive Skills" and work you way forward through the next several pages...

We appreciate it Shannon!

Above all, first you guys have a great time while you're visiting. If you get in the mood to share your knowledge with some new folks...you know we'll appreciate it, but the most important thing is yall enjoying yourselves! ;)

Thanks Greg,

If I come Friday what time does the challenge begin?  I have to tote my little trailer from middle S.C. (near Camden).  Might need to head out on Thursday.

Will look at the site where you suggested...got my first Primitive Archer mag and that is how I found out about the Classic and the website.  Building a selfbow is on my "Bucket list".

Thanks again,

Rand

well i think i am going to be able to make it over, barring work conflicts and can't tell you how excited i am. hopefully will have my elm stave shooting by then but would like to enter the selfbow challenge.  i generally do well with self teaching, but would love to get some hands on help. i really want to have hunting capable bow for next deer season. i read this site like religiously and have gotten infinite amounts of help from both it and the magazine. am looking forward to meeting some of the people that i read on hear and thank them personally. there is what seems to me a great sense of community and family amongst the folks on here and it really has been exactly what i am looking for. so be ready this long haired country boy is ready to let the shavings fly. also hope to get m hands on some Osage while there. ;D

Hi,

1.  If you are coming from SC up on I-40 is the Classic in/near Clarksville?   The directions have me a little confused: 

 Directions:
From Nashville: Take I-24 West towards Clarksville.  Exit on to Maxey Road (Exit 19).  Left to end of Maxey Road.  Right on to 41-A North.  ~5 miles, Left on to Oak Plains Road.  Watch for Twin Oaks signs.  Left on to Knox Road.  Right on to Ashley Road.  For those of you with a GPS, use 37.770520, -81.306940.

2.  Also I noticed the self bow challenge starts on Thursday...but I didn't see a time??

Thanks for any thoughts on this...just want to make sure I actually get there and on the day and time I should actually show up!!

Rand:-)

Post by: Pat B on March 02, 2009, 12:09:37 am
Rand, the challenge goes all weekend. When you get there and set up your camp, get settled in, grab your tools and stave and the challenge has started for you. ;) There is no shotgun start just start when you can. There will be some folks that won't start until Saturday.  ;)
Title: Re: 12th annual Tn. Classic who's coming
Post by: leapingbare on March 02, 2009, 03:58:19 am
Yep its just south of Clarksville.
The directions you have are correct.
Title: Re: 12th annual Tn. Classic who's coming
Post by: GregB on March 02, 2009, 08:50:20 am
Rand, like Pat said...we're probably not going to be paying much attention to a start time this year. We don't want to put pressure on folks to get finished if they don't feel comfortable being in a hurry. If folks show up early Monday/Tuesday prior (or the weekend before) and want to get started on a bow on their own, that's fine. There may not be as much tutoring help earlier in the week prior to the actual weekend event. Like Pappy has said, some folks actually have arrived in past years the weekend prior.

How does this sound for starting the Self Bow Challenge...from as unworked as a split stave, to a roughed in bow WITHOUT string notches cut in it yet...starting as early as sunrise Thursday morning and no later start then 10am Saturday morning. Any working on a bow prior to Thursday morning is fine, just stopping short of cutting the string notches. Hopefully folks will understand that the Self Bow Challenge is for fun and learning, not a real competitive event. Basically you shoot the course with your new bow and the top score win's the Challenge. If you don't get your bow finished...hopefully you've still had fun and learned some new bow building skills! ;)

If you wait until Saturday morning and have limited experience, you probably won't get the bow shooting before the weekend is up. We would give you directions on what to do to finish it. We usually have a few bows that break during the making process each year. With new people trying to make a bow, that's to be expected. I don't think there are many bowyer's on this site that haven't broken a bow during building before...just learn from it. ;)

Looks like a lot of chatter,what Greg said on the challenge,it is fun and if you work at it you can make the challenge. :) Put up a new napping tent this weekend hope it will be enough room
for now.10x20. Added to what we already had,Jesse can shovel out the scraps when we are
done. ;) ;D ;D

Pappy, GregB:

Just want to let you know that I (( CAN NOT )) get the Johnstone for the knapping contest.
At least not from my dad.
It turns out that the potty that my dad had taken out is some kind of antique.
The plummer that re-plumbed his house gave him $500.00 for it.

So, who's building a bow during the Classic?  ;D Just kidding, I think I've already asked that question a couple of times now at least!

How about another topic such as food...not that I like to talk about eating, or enjoy eating, or anything along those lines. But I do know that there are folks out there that do enjoy cooking and eating, so...what's on the menu guys?

Eddie has already mention collard greens, pineapples, and hogs...Jesse-S I think is planning to bring some of that squeaky cheese like he brought last year, what was those wrap's that Dana brought last year? Cracker mentioned some steaks...We'll have some venison for sure and maybe we could whip up some cornbread. Any other cookin' thoughts goin' on out there? ;)

Maybe some Vidalia onions they grow em not to far from my home.I'll also see what else I can come up with I have several bottles of homemade cane syrup for out pancakes. Ron

Cracker, yeah...I don't know why certain tidbits of info stick in my brain when most things don't even slow down going through one ear and out the other (occasionally get caught in a cobweb maybe. :)).

Homemade pancake syrup sounds good...wish we had some of Grants famous banana foster to have with it! ;D Vadalia onions are always good!

What else...just so other folks besides myself will know. ;)

Greg pasties are baked, although I had a deep fried one once it was not good >:(

Ingrediants are basically flour, lard, taters,onions, rutabegas and meat, eaten with ketchup not gravy :)

I will find something to trow in the cooler maybe some venison brats and venison breakfast sausage and some good thick cut bacon from a local butcher.
Could see about getting some fresh whitefish to broil also :)

Actually a true Vidallia onion only grows in a small area around Vidallia. Lots of copy cats grow elsewhere. Texas also has a good variety of sweet onions...but they ain't Vidallias.
  Take a Vidallia onion and cut it in quarters but not all the way through. Fill the inside with cheddar cheese, cover with a strip of bacon, add a bit of salt and black pepper and rosemary, wrap in foil and bake in a 350 over for 30 minutes. It is so good it will make you slap your grandma! ;D

I make some good homemade polish sausage, not smoked like kielbasa, but natural. Lots of marjoram in it. Hey Dana, do you eat sultze?
I know Dana knows what it is but for the rest of you it's basically pork head cheese, I know it sounds gross but it's just pork and pork fat simmered with herbs and vinegar til tender and set up with some pork gelatin so you can slice it. What about smoked chubs? you guys down south eat them? same as smoked herring.
I'll bring a cooler full of exotic yooper treats also, bring your alka seltzer and get ready for an experience.

Souse is probably the same as sultze, I think most nationalities have items that use everything and waste nothing.
I think I can get chubs for the classic, I know the folks down in Florida love um when I hog hunt there.
That and the pickled herring we get here.

Timo It is about 30 min.'s like Pat said.If you are coming in 65 ,just before you get into Nashville you bear west on 24 west and go to exit 19 you will be headed torward Clarksville/Ft. Campbell,Ky.
When you get off 19 go left back over the Interstate for about a half mile and turn right ,go 4/5 miles and watch for the signs.Hope you can make it.Sounds like there is going to plenty of food and a I might add a good selection. ;) ;D

At least they didn't get my jar I had buried in the back yard, should be enough to pay for the gas :)

Let me know what I can do.....you know We Yooper have always stuck together through Thick and Thin.........

Does your bank have identity theft protection? If so you may be able to get your money back through their theft insurance policy.  If I remember right, if you did not buy it, your not liable for it! Good luck Dana, what a bummer.

Pappy will overwhelm you with hospitality! CastIron will feed you to death...gorging all the rebellion out of you so that all you want to do is sleep by the fire!

Seems like all the cars are rented that day or something. Strange! Is there a blue grass or country event going on that weekend? Or, is the Classic becoming that well known???!!!???!?!

Pappy, you mind if I stay in the Cabin that last evening and head out on the Monday?

Sorry about all this! If I can rent a wreck all will be solved!

I will stop by. I'll be the guy with the Hawaii plates on the truck. I live out by Adams, TN and am fresh off the boat from Hawaii. Should be a good time. Got a fella who wants to come down as well. Lookin forward to this Classic! Hawaii has good hunting for axis deer and Mouflon sheep on Molokai & Lanaii. I hunted there for about 8 years as well as Oahu for pigs. I have seen Nomadic Pirate's bows in the mag but never saw him in the bush.

Anybody take any good strutters yet? Now that the scatter-gun has done it's job, time to get that dominant bird with the bentstick. The birds have not broken up much here. Could not have imagined I would have one of the best birds of all time already in the cold box. Then again, we got all this season left and three more birds. Plenty ticks crawlin around in the brush this year. I guess it depends how much brush you bust as to how many a fella picks up?

What type point do ya-all like for pokin them big birds?

Would anyone be interested in demonstrating making a laminated bow during the Classic? I know it would require a lot of prep work and bringing some forms and other equipment along. I've never made a laminated bow, and would like to learn more about it...as I'm sure others at the Classic would as well.

Probably wouldn't have time to completely finish the bow, but covering the basics would be a very interesting demo for folks that have never done it before. I'd be most interested in the process of tapering the laminate thickness, and gluing process on the form, form design, etc. Just a thought, in case any of you would be interested...I know there are a lot of you that have the experience.

Anybody planning on making or shooting bows during the Classic...or just sipping spring water till the wee hours of the morning, recouping during the day and then doing it all over again...? ;D

Here's one for you...what do you get when you mix spring water with a draw knife and yellow wood? Ans.: kendling  ;D

What do you get when you mix spring water with two yoopers, a Floridian, an islander, and a Texan on a 3D archery range: Ans.: massive search and rescue effort! ;D

What do you get when you mix spring water with a sprinkling of folks from all over the US equipped with bows/arrows, flint knifes and carry permits for concealed firearm's ? Ans.: a combined reinactment of the Little Bighorn, D-Day on Normandy beach, and Hamburger Hill! ;D ;D ;D

Lets do it Ron! I can pull an 80# draw at 30 1/2" draw length. They shoot real flat at that weight out to arround 75 - 90 yards! I hope to get the draw weight up higher over time when I get some time to practice, that is!

Golf balls might not be too good an idea for arrow tips shooting from warbows. More like wacking them upside the head with a hickory 2x4 at those velocities. Nerf balls might be better. I dont think we really want to kill them, do we? Yet! Do we???  ;D

Several people had campfires last year and twin oaks suppplies fire wood so it must be ok. The closest real market that I know of is in Clarksville, about fifteen minutes away. If I am mistaken I'm sure some of the guys will correct me.Ron

There is one rule about campfires that no one has mentioned yet...so I guess I'll pass it along so you can all prepare, and it goes something like this...

...any campfires during the Tn. Classic must serve a dual purpose beyond just providing heat, they must also be used for cooking and the owner of such campfire must be willing to share his campfire feast with any and all passerby's! ;D

I'm hoping my Tuesday evening start of the Classic timeframe for me isn't pushed back some. I've got a project coming up that is being pushed by upper management that doesn't know or care what it takes in time to accomplish work. The Product Engineering team has worked on it for months, and when they have their work done I've been asked to implement it to production in days, I don't know for sure the timing yet...I guess in these times one should feel fortunate to have a job, but sometimes...okay, enough venting.

Thanks Pappy! Dont know for sure that I want to do a longbow or an Eastern Flatbow. Something about the simple bending twig just seems to inspire me these days.

I'm trying to finish up a bow I'm making for a friend of mine that I haven't seen for many years! BigA and I had been trying to get in touch with him for some time and had about given up. He finally got in contact with us a few weeks back and we've talked him into coming to the Classic. He loved to bow hunt as a young man and seems life got in the way with about 15 years on the road driving trucks among other things.

I started him an osage bow and had it past brace when a tip broke off causing a limb to break. BigA donated a fine piece of osage he had just past floor tiller. Pappy and I got it tillered out to about 22" and Pappy heat treated it. I finished tillering it at home and have been doing the finish work to it. Added some coco-bollo tips and prairie rattler skins. I'm sealing it at the moment. Haven't decided on a grip yet. Need to get on the ball to finish it. :)

I've had quite a night! Took the dog out to the pen for his nightly duty. He started chomping on something and I thought that was a bit strange. Ran up to him to discover our Psycho neighbor put out a bunch of dog food, probably poisoned, for my dog. I was able to get him away before he ate too much. At the time I did not know how much he had eaten so we had to run him off the island by Ferry at 12:30 PM to the Vet in Everret 40 miles away and a ferry trip to get his stomach evacuated and anti-poison meds started and all the other fun stuff. So I've been up nearly 24 hours now.

Cant proove it was the neighbor but he is the only neighbor who could have done it and is psychotic to boot and probably schizo to boot. Same guy who cut our water line a couple days before my mother was scheduled for brain surgery a few years  back! So, its been quite a night to say the least.

I really am going to need a good stiff one when I get there guys!

I used to drink "Wisconsin club" beer, $4 a case for bottles, mmmm, that stuff sucked! but it got the job done. Now I can't drink, smoke, or eat, not much left to live for except building bows and breakin rock. Next they'll take that away, but not this next week!!!!!
Like Dana said, crappy drizzle and cold here in da UP. A little over 24 hours and I hope to be in shorts.

KingRon:  (or whoever else may see this)

Just want to tell you, Pappy, GregB and BigA that I will be running late on my arrival.
One of my uncles passed away and the funeral is Friday at 11AM.

I hope to leave by 3PM Friday afternoon but cant say for sure.

The good news is that, due to my late departure, my son Forrest will be able to accompany me to the Tn. Classic this year.

See yall soon.

David

My family and I got home yesterday.  Great people and beautiful place, just TOO MUCH RAIN for us-espeacially in a tent!  I did get to meet Pappy, who is just a super nice guy, and I met knightd and got some of his bow blanks too.  David and his blanks are super nice too.  I talked to yazhoo's dad and bought an osage stave from him too.  Anyway, I enjoyed the short time we were there...except for the night in the tent!  It rained on us all the way back to VA, where it quit until last night...now it's raining here too.  I wish I could have met more of you people...maybe better luck next time.

Mike, please tell your friend, sorry, forgot his name , thanks for the loan on the shells. ;D We made it home in 9.5 hours, despite the fact our Northern Breathen don't know when it rains, that's the time you drive faster. ::)

 I hope everybody had a great time and makes it home safe. Thanks, Pappy, and everybody that had the pleasure of meeting me, 8) ;), especially, James Parker. ;)

 Chris, after the run we did this afternoon, I think if you ran I-75 to I-20 in Atlanta  at 90mph,  it would be quicker. We were at the I-20 by-pass in Atlanta,in 4 hours after we left Pappy's.

Glad to hear everyone is getting back home safely! I think I was in bed by 7:00pm last night and was rudely awakened by the alarm this morning...back to work. :'(

Had a great time and want to think all the PA folks for helping out with the bow making...especially PatB and Mike Scott who I think spent as much time helping folks as BigA and I. I know for a fact that we got some folks and especially kids hooked and a lot of good performing bows were turned out. I wished mother nature could have given us a dry weekend, but it didn't slow us down much. Thanks again and I enjoyed seeing a lot of you again and making some new friends as well. Great hobby attracting great folks...Life is Good! ;)

Well, over here at Rons place waiting to head off to the airport to catch my flight home. Been a great time all the way arround. Spent time making bows, talking to friends, making new one and being overwelmed by all the great southern hospitality. Man the Twin Oaks gang is the best group of people arround! Especially the way I was so absent minded this week.

Pappy, I think I left a couple things there at the club I forgot to put away in my kit before leaving with Ron. I think they included my Knapping kit (Left on the bench where we were all talking last), my watch (Left on the bench in the Knapping pit?) and my shaving kit (Left upstairs in the cabin). Can you let me know if you find them? If so please let me know how I can get ahold of all that stuff again. I have no idea where my brain was!!!!  :o

Dana, jeesh what a haul of wood you came away with! I think I would have been the same if I could have gotten my pickup to Twin Oaks too.  ;D

Pat, thanks again for the wood billet and the cane shafting. Ron and I cut it down last night to fit in my duffel bag. That stuff is tough! I think its going to keep me in shafting for a good long time! I will be making you up some hunting points in the future to mount on some forshafts for next seasons hunting. Cant wait to get started on straightening those shafts!

You all remeber that nice bamboo backed bow I was building durring James course. Well, I was excersizing the limbs on the tillering board and just as I got it to full draw it hinged on me. To all those arround me at the time, sorry about the expletives that came out of my mouth! Not typicaly like me.  ::)

Big thanks to Ron and family for helping me out to and from the airport! I doubt I could have gotten to the Classic without their help.

There was so much going on I think my head was spinning! Cant wait till next year!!!  ;D

Man it was a great time but wish I was feeling better through week. Feeling much better now though! Kathy's tale of the police chase into your work shop had me in stitches.

Here's some of mine, I'll post more as I get them resized and such. Every year we say we're going to take the camera out on the course, and we always forget.  :-\ And Timo, I'll try to put names to faces where I can. Some are old familiar faces, some are new faces that I don't trust my memory to put a name to, and some like James Parker are so ugly that they speak for themselves. ;D

Looks like Dana is trying to figure out how to get that uhaul hitched to his truck so he can take MORE wood home :D Did anyone get pics of the Phoebes on the the gentleman's hat?

One thing I noticed was that I never saw GregB with or around the foodline like he's always getting ribbed for. He was helping with bow building the whole time. :)

Anyone have pics of Hillbilly and Robustus beating on that Yooperite? Great pics and great time!

There are a few people I know in there that I can't make out the faces in this small pic enough to identify, so if I miss you or mis-name you, please correct me and realize that it's Pat's fault. :)

These are Pappy's mascots and resident bugcatchers. They didn't seem to mind the excitement at all, but after a couple days, they decided that they wanted to get out and mingle with everybody else. Sackett's hat apparantly looked like a good Phoebe landing platform.

What a great bunch of pictures.  I'm glad all you had the foresight to bring a camera.  I don't know what I was thinking not bringing one.  All I can say is that is the finest bunch of people that I have ever run across.  It was a 2000 mile round trip but worth every second of driving.  The trip home seemed to fly by as I thought about all the great times I had and the great people I met.  I can't wait until next year.  It was really fun to get to know the folks from the board.   Like Jamie said " now I  can hear their voices when they write".

The long drive was well worth it.  You guys are the best. I'm really looking forward to the year ahead and all trades, emails, and conversations leading up to the next Classic.  The only complaint I have is that it went by WAY too fast.

Just looking through the pictures again and noticed the two of me above. Man oh man! That first one with the shotgun could have the caption "What did you say!!!" and the second with the little jug "Where did ya all go!!!!"  ;D
