I'll be there with the camper. I will have three bow racks to display, under a canopy, any bow you wish to show off. Bring your bows and lets show the folks what we can do as Amateur Boyer's of NC. My wife Amy will be the "guard" and hostess. I will have two tables if need be to display any and all manner of stuff you may have made. That is quivers, arrows, points etc. Pat if you need a place to stay, we have an extra bedroom,  ;)  and you do not need a -20 deg sleeping bag.  ;D

OK Marie, Just for you! ;)  In the pics I took...Jason Butner(son of Art B) pulling my war bow, Tom B with his head in his hands(Tom was pretty sick) and the fantastic PA display I set up at the shoot. Tom B feeling better in the pic of some of my bows,  and Barry McCall(not a member of PA but a hell of a primitive skills guy).  Pat

Pat you are SO wonderful!!!  LOVE the display! :D
Title: Re: Hickory, NC shoot-who's coming?
Post by: Pat B on May 31, 2007, 05:08:01 pm
I just can't help myself, Marie. Greatness is a difficult atribute to manage! ;)
   By the way, the bow on the top, backside of the rack that my bows are on is the Southern Community Bow. Lots of great comments on that bow! ;D     Pat

Yes Pat, but nothing like the comments on the string eh.  :o Justin
Title: Re: Hickory, NC shoot-who's coming?
Post by: Pat B on May 31, 2007, 07:52:08 pm
I didn't want to embarrass :-[ everyone by bringing up the string thing again but now that you mention it, It is a very nice string! ;D    Pat
Title: Re: Hickory, NC shoot-who's coming?
Post by: DBernier on May 31, 2007, 08:37:11 pm
String? :o What string! Somebody see a string. I didn't see a string. Was there a string on it? Heck, I'm just glad I didn't have to walk up that HILL again. :'(  Yea, Tom was one sick puppy. We still had a good time. Jason pulled that "war" bow like it was my 30# target bow.

Even being sick, Tom saved me from certain death or worse by providing large amounts of strong black coffee each morning. I don't know what would happen if I didn't get at least a quart or two of coffee in the morning, but I shudder to think of it :o
Title: Re: Hickory, NC shoot-who's coming?
Post by: Pat B on June 01, 2007, 02:25:38 pm
Tom does make a good, strong pot of coffee. ;D  :o
   Got any pics for us Steve?    Pat
Title: Re: Hickory, NC shoot-who's coming?
Post by: Hillbilly on June 01, 2007, 03:36:27 pm
Pat, I was a slacker and didn't take hardly any pics except for the ones documenting the making of the stone tool bow. I'll try to get a few of them up, but hopefully, you may see the rest of them later in a different format  :)
