Since you already started a MoJam thread, I 'm happy to inform everyone that they just put a MOJAM Facebook page up yesterday so that everyone can keep up with what's happening for the 20th anniversary this year. It's officially July 19-21, but most of us come early and stay late. :) :BB

Hello all, was going to post our dates but see Bob got it for me. It is year 20. If anyone has ideas of what we can do to celebrate this mile stone please let us know. See all soon. Keith
-
I've talked to Bob and we should do a white wood/yellow wood shoot off part 2! Thats what got mojam started in the first place.
Patrick
-
Maybe a pair shoot matching a first timer with an "old guy/gal", against other like pairs? Or an apple shoot?
How does one get to the range off I-70? I know where that is >:D! Hope to see ya'all in July!

I love this idea Patrick!!! It would be interesting to see how bows have evolved, performance wise, over the last twenty years. Plus, it would a lot of fun to compete in.
I would volunteer to help be a part of organizing this if others show interest. I can bring a chronograph and scales.
-
I hope Badger will chime in. Bob said he was the one that wrote out the rulles for the first mojam. I would love to see how much 20 years has change wooden bows by using the same set of rulles.

Im interested in seeing how much the rules changed as we learned more!
-
There are "Rules"...? ???
;)
-
Believe it or not Paul, there were a set of rules that were followed. ;) I had to go back and reread the "turtle bow" chapter in TBB4 to remember how they went. I think some of the rules may need to be changed a bit to get more accurate, and fair results.
-
Ill bring the hickory!
-
Dave if you bring it you gotta build it.
-
All this talk of White Woods/Osage testing/challenge/quest has persuaded me to get out a nice hickory bow blank Larry aka Caveman IL some time back and get to rasping. Perhaps I''l be able to coax a shooter out of it. rasp/rasp....

Ah, yes, those rules, for the "battle of the bow woods". :BB
Good rules those. :OK
Carry on... ;)
-
Scrape, scrape, bend, bend, tiller, repeat - maybe the hickory stave I got from Kyle will be a real bow by then! And it ain't too darn hot! Don't think I can work fast enough for a scratch bow challenge! Maybe an old slow first bow challenge!

Tim Baker I believe was the primary rule writer for the first event. Several other involved also.
-
What facilities are available for Mundane things like campers, etc? Registration and Camping fees? I haven't been there before! Thanks,
Hawkdancer
-
Great thing about mojam is no reg/camp $$$ fees.
Tough thing about mojam is there's limited electricity. MoJam organizers and city of Marshal are gonna need to address this.
Be there by Wed.
Look forward to meeting you.
-
Got to get the tin tipi rigged up to haul the generator, and make the muffler box! I think CJKopec is also bringing a horse tin tipi, if she and Cody can make! Still learning all the tricks of our rig! Like how to pull out the canopy! May just bring the pop-up shade.

This is what Steve has written to post and ask for recommendations. It will be great.
1st annual Mojam Broadhead Flight Shoot
In keeping with the spirit of Mojam we have decided to organize a flight shoot that will hopefully become an annual event and a tradition at many of the other primitive venues happening around the country. The winner of this event will be declared the official Primitive Broadhead World Champion.
We will have 2 classes, laminated wood bows and self bows. All bows will shoot at 10 grains of arrow weight per pound of draw weight so there will be no weight classes.
The longest arrows allowed will be 28” from the bottom of the nock to the back of the broadhead.
All arrows must have at least 3each 4” fletches minimum 1/2” high. The broadhead must be no shorter than 1 1/4” and must not fit through a 7/8” id ring.
All bows and arrows must be registered, inspected and weighed and the arrows must be numbered.
There will be a 10 grain tolerance on minimum arrow weights no limits on maximum arrow weights.
We will have no restriction on string materials for the bows. No elevated rests allowed on bows.
The field will be laid out using 100 yard contractors tapes down each side of the field with stakes placed at 5 yard increments past the 150 marker out to 250 yards. The field will be 50 yards wide if space allows.
In keeping with the spirit of Mojam we also hope to collect important data here and award certificates for various accomplishments. At the registration desk your bow will be weighed and inspected. The information gathered will be transferred to a spreadsheet for future comparisons.
Example: John Smith 50# osage , D/R design, 2” reflex, 20 oz, 64” NN, 178 yards.
World record status will only be given to one bow with no regard to class but certicicates or trophies if available will be awarded for many accomplishments in many classes. Such as longest recurve, straight bow, English long bow, etc. I also favor certificates for any bows reaching 200, 190 and 180 yards.
The field will be open all day for qualifying and practice and data gathering. This will be less formal and broadheads will not be required. But bows and arrows will still be weighed and measured.
The official shooting line will be opened up for 2 hours each day of the shoot, the last day it will be in the morning. This will be for our Jamboree Flight Organization so rules we be carefully adhered to.
I will recommend a .50 cent charge per arrow shot with a 3 arrow minimum. At the official shoot it will be a 6 arrow max round with each bow, No limit on how many bows can be shot. Some of the money will go toward putting together the needed supplies for the flight station and anything in excess would go back to Mojam.
Hopefully at this Mojam we can train several others to officiate flight shoots at other venues where space allows and put together a flight station with scales, forms and equipment that can be shipped anywhere in the country as needed. We will be looking for volunteers and will also possibly be needing arrows of various weights so if you can bring a few extra to loan to the shoot it would be great.

I’m planning to be there from Wednesday through Sunday. If you all would like I can bring my range finder and chronograph along. The range finder is a sig Sauer kilo 2000, so a bit overkill but very accurate. The chronograph is a Caldwell g2. I may bring them anyway even if they don’t get used.
One thing that I was thinking that would be fun to do is along the lines of how the show ‘Forged in fire’
is done. I think along the lines of give a bow style to create and in a draw weight range. Giving time limits to each part of the build.for the stages, I’m thinking. 1- Hunt down and acquire/buy a stave from a vender or grab one from your stash you brought that would be suitable. (Whoever hasn’t obtained a stave by the one limit is out) 2- get the stave roughed out and tillered. (After the time limit they will be inspected for design in the proper style and safety). 3- last step is to finish the bow and tweak the tiller if need be, essentially just getting the handle and tips shaped out, everything to make it shoot well and look as good as the time limit allows. Then they are shot and tested to see whoes is fastest and most comfortable to shoot as the coarse winning criteria. And as bows are to similar you get into more fine criteria to choose the winner.
The hard part would be, what’s the prize? And who are the judges? And what time frames would we go with?
I think it would be fun to do. And might be worth the effort of deciding this stuff if anyone else feels it would be worth doing. I think it could be set up to be done in a day. Something along the lines of: 45 min to pick a stave, 4 hours to go from stave to tillered, and 2 hours for tweaking tiller and finishing.
Just like on the show, your not expected to make a show peice or a perforce tiller. Just meet the criteria and shoot. But the better you do the more likely to win.
What do you all think? Worth the time or no?

Kyle I like the idea but you have an unfair advantage. You are the energizer bunny. You keep going and going. Us old guys CANNOT keep up with you. (lol)

Yeah, what Jon said... :OK
I'm too old for that ..."stuff". ;)
-
Kyle - another of the geezers chiming in. Don't think I'll be able to keep up, but it's a great idea. It is kinda like the hatchet bow contest of years gone by.
-
I think it is a cool idea but I would skip the stages. Just give until say 4 pm to get out the best bow they can. If they happen to start late the 4pm is still the time limit.
-
I will bring my Chrono and range finder(Nikon) - assuming I can find the range! Still need directions off I-70! What other happenings are going on? Pot lucks, newcomers parties, strap hanger doin's, traders, bull sessions, etc?
Hawkdancer
-
I like that idea better of having them done by a certain time of the day as opposed to to time frames.
I couldn’t really help you with the directions. I usually have to use the gps to get in the area, then search and try to remember. From a certain pizza place I can get there easy. I just find the pizza place.
Kyle

Re directions, 1st pg of this post is link to some MoJam info including map. Zoom out the map to get all directions needed.
There will be auction and pot luck dinner Sat eve. Bring something tasty.
Running Pig shoot, likely Friday and Saturday. Clout shoot Saturday, likely. There's 2-3 3D courses. Vendors. Bow-making and Bull sessions ... almost 24 hrs.
Look forward to meeting ya!
-
Well, so far the hickory bow blank decided that it would prefer to be kindling rather than achieve a more exacted status. One down, one to go. Maybe this is the one, he thinks hopefully..as he rumages through the bottom shelf of the island of misfit staves.
The osage elb stave is no longer has a dog leg, it survived a heat gun and c-clamp session.
-
Good for you gifford!
I am just hoping I get a day to finish up the three im working on! They are all close but not quite there yet. Plus 2 of them are left handers...
Patrick
-
Hoping to get my hickory stave shooting by then - trying to keep from going past target weight, and keep (get) a decent tiller, oh, yeah, and remember to breathe! I think I will be able to get the next peg on the tiller tree tomorrow and get closer to Brace height. I would like to be able to take it to JW's Turkey Camp next month. Have to get some broad heads set up for the hunt and the flight shoot, as well!
Hawkdancer
-
Only three months left!
-
I think CJKopec is also bringing a horse tin tipi
Cahl and I are still hoping to make it. Not sure if I’m hauling the the trailer or not yet. I was just in MO (about 20 miles from where the festivities are held) and being it’s a 1350 mile round trip haul at 7mpg we may rent a little roller skate of a car and tent it. But who knows, I may get a wild streak and just do haul it down there. Cahl is all for tent camping. I told him if it wasn’t in the 90’s we could tent it.
We will probably be the ones rollin’ in with staves strapped to the top of a Yugo.
-
I hope its in the 90's! Its usually around or over a hundred. Plus seing staves straped on a car is nothing. I seen one straped on a harley one year!
Getting close is right, as usual I have a lot to finish up!
Patrick
-
Follow them wild streaks! Makes life interesting! I may wind up sticking the generator in the back of the suv and stashing the good stuff in the camper! Getting anxious! It's real close to 1300 miles round trip for me as well! On their other hand, Badger is coming out of California! Easy haul!
Hawkdancer
-
Steve being there will be a neat treat. Very excited for the planned events too!
-
LOL I need to correct my statement...
I'll be the one with the staves and kiddie swimming pool strapped to the top of the Yugo.
I might just follow the wild side then. If I have any issues on the road at least I'll have air and a place to sleep ;)
I made the trip in my truck the end of March and was coming home on Easter Sunday thru all that ice when my oil pressure started bouncing all over the place. I was on a state highway with no mile markers. That was when I decided I was getting a little "less adventurous". We made it just fine. Hubby thinks that it had been so long since I really drove my truck any distance that I heated the engine and pushed the sludge into the filter and pressure sensor. I still need to switch that sensor out. I have replaced it 3 times already. But still, not an easy feeling on a holiday. I'll have to use the other truck to haul the trailer. It is only used for hauling since it has the big block and we take out a small bank loan to fill the tank. ;) But it's worth it to not hear the engine in my daily truck work so hard. The first time I hauled with it I was pushing 80mph at the end of the on ramp. ;) Ooops. John told me to get my foot off the pedal. I found out why when I pulled up to the gas pump. But she's got power....
-
Anyone planning on the mojam float trip with me this year? The race is the following week so i definitly want to do a quick trip again.
-
We are going to have a tiller tree set up over by the Broadhead flight line. Maybe someone who has a bow roughed out could bring it over to the shooting line and we could give a demonstration of not set tillering while he tillers out his bow. Preferable not floor tillered and where close to finished weight. And maybe a demonstration of Krewsons tillering gizmo. So it would need to be a pretty flat stave or laminated bow.
-
The Outlaw is planning to grace us with an appearance.
OOOOOOO LA LA!
Seriously.
-
Ill try and have one steve. I wont be there to tiller it but i have a few that fit the bill.
If clint makes it i will make him a special tie dye shirt!
-
2x husky Dave ;) I might have something to go with the shirt.
-
Looks like I will be able to make it. I was thinking that I wasn't going get to be there this year. I didn't want to miss the 20th anniversary! Looking forward to seeing everybody.
Neal
-
Its not a party without Neil Young!
-
He certainly is one this southern boy dont mind being around.... anyhow, im looking forward to the JAM!
-
It sounds as there are going to be many activities this year. All of these different tests. Will we find out if it is the wood or the profile, or the bowyer or the style. I love performance tests. There usually are some real surprises. It will be interesting to see if attitudes and findings are the same as 20 years ago. This one should be great.
-
Im definitely looking forward to mojam this year! I just hope I can spend my usual week, with this new job it will be tuff. But I will definitely be there, just got to get the logistics lined out.
Sure will be nice to see the place filled up this year, I hear that several old timers plan to make it again.
Patrick
-
Its definitely gonna be a good time. Ive vot my time off from work so im there. I may just stay there until the race on tuesday. Possibly set the all time mojam duration record!
-
I might come... (-S on Monday... (lol)
-
Looking forward to The experience! Ya'all get to teach an old dog new tricks, maybe some old ones too! Plan on getting there Tuesday or Wednesday, it's a 2 day haul from here, pulling the tin tipi! Hope to have the hickory bow shooting by then, but that is another post! Had a great time at the Black Hills Turkey Camp, but the turkeys added another notch to their score, which I believe is now Turkeys 5, Hunter's, 1, :G :G! Excellent food, great company, and a wild 6 or 7 hour thunder & lightening display!
Hawkdancer
-
Well, FWIW, I "plan" on being there Tuesday. Like all things, it is subject to change.
Otherwise, I may be there Wednesday, with Sal. He's planning to come in on Wednesday.
We'll see, yep, we'll see how it shakes out.
-
Man, everyone is planning on coming this year! It should be a great anniversary!
I can't wait, just need to get a plan together!
Patrick
-
Patrick - yep, "We're getting the band back together, man"
Cue music "Coming to you on a dusty road....."
-
Patrick - yep, "We're getting the band back together, man"

Is he going to want 4 fried chickens and a Coke too?
-
Sals coming! I'll make extra pie! Man o man this year is gonna be big. Im hoping to bring down some fellas from up nordth to dont cha know.
Im expecting me and mine there monday, maybe sunday and i might just stay till my race if they will let me. I cant wait for this year!
-
What's the dates?
Pat said 17-19 :o
The web site is 19-21 july
-
The 19th through the 21st is right bud. Not sure where I got those days from.
But in my defence for me its usually a week!
Patrick
-
A batch of Home brew and extra sourdough bread? Maybe a Dutch oven full of elk stew? Might bring my yew stave for some expert advice and training!
Hawkdancer
-

It always confuses me as well...I thought that it was always listed at Fri~Sun, which would make it the 20th~22nd... but it never mattered since I always go early. :)
-
It's always been Thursday-Saturday then pack up and limp home Sunday. That was the "official" schedule... ;)
-
I should be able to roll in with my Iowa chronies wedsnday afternoon sometime.
-
I'm gonna do whatever it takes to park my new camper in Dave's spot >:D

Careful, it may get an arrow in it, or come back tie dyed.
-
Dave gets a special spot?? Which Dave?? Wow! >:D😂!
Hawkdancer
-
Dave (DVS) deserves a special spot! as do a few other of the guys (like Patrick) that do all of the work every year at MoJam... :OK
-
Well Jon Ive pretty much claimed the spot right next to Dave. Not sure if im bringing a camper this year, I may, but ill be right there by ya!
Patrick
-
Bob, I will certainly go along with that, the folks that do all the ground work deserve some recognition, and appreciation!! Hope to meet all of them when I get there! :) Of course, that puts us newbies out on the far side (of the south 40), Lol! >:D, well maybe just the far side! Remembering everyone's name is another matter!
Hawkdancer
-
Hawkdancer...looking forward to meeting you as well, and I will be camping way up the road as well, not down where all of the work is done. :OK I have been know to spend my nights down there though because I do like shooting at night. (SH)
-
I should be holding down our usual spot on the hill too. Seeya there Bob. :OK
-
we will be there same old spot with all the fresh air, will be good to see everyone
-
It will be good to see you to Loyd!
Hawk, now here is a guy that has his own spot at mojam, he even has a plackard hung on a tree!
Patrick
-
Im pretty sure that loyd is the ONLY person who has his own spot. Nice and shaded to. I cant wait to see you again loyd. Maybe if you get there early enough we can catch up for lknger than normal.
-
The last few days have been hot enough to be mojam
-
we are having our annual TBA "June Shoot" and including a little BowJam this coming weekend...it is predicted to hit 100 both days... I guess it will be a good prep for MoJam. (-S
-
The last few days have been hot enough to be mojam
Thats no kidding!
Patrick
-
After speaking with dvshunter this weekend, Cahl and I have decided to go ahead and tent it this year. You only live once right???
Looking forward to meeting you all and getting to see some familiar faces too.
-
Maybe I can drag a cool spell down from Colorado with me - maybe 85 instead of 95! >:D >:D Lol! Currently plan to drag the tin tipi, fun things like a/c, and the bathroom inside, plenty of room in bunk, running water, refrigerator! Managed to get to Turkey Camp and back as a trial run, seemed like everything worked! Sort of! Have to learn how to operate the side awning better.
Hawkdancer
-
Hawk, you bring the cool spell and I'll show you how to use your awning. Deal?
Patrick
-
Will do my best - but will a fan count? >:D. Under the awning?
Hawkdancer
-
Give everyone a ration of grief for me, willya Jerry?
Would love to make it there someday, maybe next year!
-
Will do my best - but will a fan count? >:D. Under the awning?
Hawkdancer
I guess as long as I can have a cold adult beverage with it!
Patrick
-
That, I can manage! Even planning to get ice cube trays for the freezer! I like my sipping stuff chilled, water back! >:D
JW, I think I already started! I originated this thread! Won't mention the finer details of Turkey Camp! Well, except under duress and adult beverages! Btw, Jacie got a pic of two nice Tom's today, season's closed, of course! I'll try to post it!
Hawkdancer

Have been cutting down some bamboo this eeekrnd. On inch in diameter and smaller. Thinking of having a build a bow contest with it. More to come.

I would be willing to trade for some atlatl dart size bamboo
-
It will be there free to a good home
-
Awesome! Thanks.
-
Osage,
How long and thick do you like your darts? I may have some well cured red oiser that could be darts, be glad to bring some along. My hardwood darts are 6 ft., but these are probably 5'.
Hawkdancer
-
I have never made any before so I don't know. I picked up some poplar dowel darts at Marshall. I haven't made the atlatl yet.
-
Wish I'd of known you where interested in Atlatl Clint. I'd of shown you mine and let you throw it. You can use the Red Osier for main shaft and make removable fore shaft to go with it. That's what I do. I just posted one in Primitive Skills section a few weeks ago.
Bjrogg
-
I'm contemplating coming down this year, since I missed out on camping at Marshall, MI, and I will me missing GLLI due to Annual Training. Curse of the Army. ;). Room for another Michigander? ;)
-
Of course.. :OK
-
Hopefully us "show me state" folk will be as welcoming as you Michiganders have been.
-
I plan on getting there Sunday afternoon.
I have been watching for recipes to cook for supper a couple nights. I want to help make all the Michaganders and out of staters (and the regulars too!) as welcome as possible. As long as there is deer meat on the smoker everybody will be welcome to come eat. Maybe that will help people forget about the heat! ;D
I was outside for work all morning and this ol fat boy is not used to the heat yet. I will be by the time MoJam starts though.

And im gonna do my best to have a few batches of my bbq sauce, im looking forward to this!
-
I think we can manage some deer meat on the smoker Neil! I still have a whole doe in the freezer that is just quartered up. Shot her when it was about 3 degrees out and she was pretty much frozen by the time I got her home that night. Maybe we can do a couple of whole loins or a shoulder or two. Let me know.
Patrick
-
Got to get there one year....hopefully sooner than later.
DBar
-
We have been working overtime in this terribke heat so im sure ill be ready to go! I should have a few fresh rabbits in a few weeks to go with the deer.
-
I am bringing some sweetbreads and a mess of fish. Sounds like we will be eating like kings!
-
Sounds good to me, but you know we always eat like kings at mojam!
Bill, I hope you can make it sometime to, you would love it!
Patrick
-
Jon i talk up that sweetbread all the time!
Im planing o being there sunday if not earlier, but i dont get the kids until 6pm so it may be later than id like.
Im bringing a boat again and would love some company on a nice river excursion...just saying.
-
I would advise sooner rather than later. See everyone soon. My work work travels are going to interfere with my being there on some days but should make it for a few.
-
Sooner rather than later? Is there troublenin paradise keith?
-
Dave, not really trouble. I just see it becoming less organized and more participant lead. It has been moving in that direction for several years. I think it works great but may not be appealing to some. Also really did not expect Mojam to see year two so each additional year is a bit of a surprise. Keith
-
Keith I really like the progression I've seen at MOJAM the last several years. I personally enjoy the structure and maybe even the lack thereof. The club always does a bang up job. I would like to thank all involved for a great event every year. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon.
-
Keith, I will be available all the week of July 9 - 13th. I had already scheduled that week off for another reason that fell through. If I can help with getting things ready, please let me know what you need done and I will do it. I don't live an hour from Marshall, so I can come up and work, no problem. I want to help as much as I can.
Neal
-
Keith you know I will do what ever I can to help the week of mojam. I also like the way things are going at mojam with it being more participant lead, but if we need to have more structure to the event thats understandable and I would be willing to help with that as well.
I will do another tool sharpening demonstration again if you need me to. I know the last couple of years I haven't and I probably should have. What ever you need Keith, after all you done to help me out last year, I'm at your disposal my friend....
Patrick
-
Well guy's, I just checked the weather for mojam. Looks like a little rain a few days. But if the temps stay this way it will make for a great event. Still hot but not near like last year!
Looking forward to seeing everyone! It will be here in almost a month!
Patrick
(http://i.imgur.com/VxZitAM.jpg)
-
That would make it nearly 20° cooler than last year Patrick!
I also would like to extend a big thank you to the Marshall bow hunters that put on this event year after year, they really do a fantastic job.
Keith, if there is anything that I can help with, please let me know.
-
Whoa! Patrick, that looks almost like the weather forecast for the high country!! The hot part, I can handle, it's the muggy that is the killer! It was 108 when we came across the desert Sunday, but cooled off into the 90's as we gained altitude! Humidity was about 8% or so!
Sounds like a lot of good eating going on!
Hawkdancer
-
man I hope those numbers hold true Patrick. I have been working around Marshall the last few weeks and it has already been over 100 degrees on several days. If it gets down into the 80's people will be wearing jackets! ;D
Neal
-
I've seen "cool" temp MOJAMs in the past. Not many but it has happened... ::)
While over the years it's gotten more "Free Range" and participant lead it would not have happened, or continue to happen, without the work of the Club. And for that we owe them a big THANK YOU. :OK

You are right Paul, there would be no mojam at all if it wasn't for the Marshall Bow Hunters. A big thank you is for sure!
Patrick
-
Well im glad to hear that mojam isnt in trouble. I can remember a few years witha man on a microphone speaking, but never a whole lot of structure. Thankfully we have always had the old trusty dry erase board! Lol
Now that my kids are older and dont require as much of my attention i can be there for actual demos if you want to try and bring it back. You know im up for whatever you want or need.

A demo Idea I think would be good is heat bending. It seems to always be something that I help with quite a bit. Im sure we can find a stave laying around that could use some bending.
Patrick
-
Yep. You always gotta watch who you hand a microphone to. Last year was the first year that we did not follow a demo schedule of some sort. It seemed to work with the same type of stuff being demonstrated anyway. I am thinking this year to use the white board as a request board and if someone is around that knows how to do it they can schedule themselves to demo when they want to.
-
And thank you for all the offers of help. You all have been the backbone of MOJam. You all are why it continues. Keith
-
Well im glad to hear that mojam isnt in trouble. I can remember a few years witha man on a microphone speaking, but never a whole lot of structure. Thankfully we have always had the old trusty dry erase board! Lol

Would you give a demonstration on the proper shaving technique? ;D

It was likely his mom did the shaving. Too traumatic for Dave.

Sounds good Jon, I just know I hate trying to help a new person with giant clamp compression scars on their stave, and stress fractures from bending wood that wasn't hot all the way through. I think it would be good to teach as a team. Maybe not on a schedule but when ever there is bending thats needed we can gather all who would be interested.
Patrick
-
I don't want to read something into what you said Pat. If you don't think I am capable of doing the demo that's cool. If that's not what you meant then I apologize.
-
Patrick - that's a wonderful weather forecast you posted. "from your lips (or in this case, a weather forecaster) to God's ears".
Like others, I can only recall a couple of MoJAMs that were like that forecast shows. There was one that was brisk enough overnight that folks were sleeping under blankets and sleeping bags. Long sleeves everywhere that a.m. well, long sleeves for those who had the foresight to bring one along. That was the year I headed to Wally World and bought a denim jacket off the sale rack for 10 bucks. Still use it and bring it hoping to wear it again, hmm, maybe I should leave it home this year.
-
I knowni have at least of picture of john murray in a flannel jacket one night.
I can always tell a bow that john heated by the clamp marks and smell of burning belt sander. ;D
Clint i wont ha e time for a demo, ill be to busy trying to find a pencil. Maybe you could just follow me around and carry a pencil for me? Id ask mike to do it, but we all know he would lose it somewhere.

No Jon I didn't mean it that way at all. I reread what I wrote and I understand what your saying. I think your way more than capable. And as a team I ment all of us, but it was just a thought. No need to apologize bud, we are all adult here. I'm sorry it came accross that way.
Patrick
-
Pat, jve got a sweet land deal on some ocean front property in Arizona if you want in, just dont tell jon about it. -C-
Thanks clint! Will this pencil holder be some sort of beard extension?
-
Can't say
-
Could be one of those sneaky concealed carry things - bring your card, pencils are dangerous weapons! Mightier than a sword >:D! On the other hand, it might be an open carry with a beard clip!
As a newbie, I'd like to see as many demos as practical, but some sort of schedule will help! Team teaching and hands on are the best methods of teaching/learning.
Hawkdancer

Hee hee. Reminds me of when school was out for summer. My dad would always clip our heads on the lowest setting the clipper had. Lots of tears and hair clippings.lol
Bjrogg

The more I think of it Dave the more I think a nose piercing would really give you that primal look. And I'm guessing after your mom saw it she wouldn't think the beard was all that bad.lol.

I will volunteer to do a knapping demonstration if there is interest. :-K

Thats a little different of an idea Neil. I would like to see that as well. I think im going to try to do a little more knapping this year myself. Sure would like to hunt with some of my own points this year!
Dave, you are a pot stirer for sure!

-I'm right there with you Patrick... I hope the boys from Oklahoma (like TIMO) come back this year....
-
Yep, me too; I've been saying that for more than a few years. maybe this is the year. I tried it in the early years, just made little chips from bigger chips and used up a lot of band-aids in the process.
Bob - you said OK? Did he move?
-
I don't know if he moved but the shadowbox full of points that I have said it was ALL OKLAHOMA...so I thought that's where TIMO was from... I hope someone contacts him and DANO... and all of the others!
-
Got started on some mahogany obsidian -made some nifty earring sized chips for Jacie to work with! Point is still in progress. At least it is still with the tools. :-K :KN!
Hawkdancer
-
I wish tim and dano would come back out to. Jd used to show id used to cone to mojam to, butbi bet its been nine years.
-
ill donate a set of skins for for a demo to the first kid or woman to finish up a bow.

Bjrogg
-
Do i count loyd?
-
Thats a great gesture Loyd!
Yeah I would like to see some of the guys that hasn't been there in the last few years myself. Tim and Lynn are couple I noticed not there the last 2 years.
Patrick

just the younger kids Dave

just the younger kids Dave
Dave's not that old. He barely even has a beard! >:D
-
Thank you neal. Id imagine wyatt has a longer beard than me now. Ive got one biw ready for the auction and marley and i are finishing another kids biw again this yesr as well. If i had more tine, id make another, but the river, she calls...
-
Looking forward to this shindig! Hope to have my hickory bow finished and tested! By chance, I met Jack Moody at the Colorado Medieval Festival and learned he has been making bows for quite a while. Lives about 3 miles from me! Will be picking his brain to get 'er done! Got to do some arrows as well, but will start with what I got. Getting close! Looking forward to meeting ya'all!
Hawkdancer
-
That's great Hawkdancer. Maybe someday I'll have someone living that close to me building bows. If I do it'll probably be someone that I teach. I'm looking forward to that.
Bjrogg
-
just a month away guys... you need to all start running up and down the road in the hottest part of the day to get prepared. (-S
-
Bj, one of the best feelings I've had make bows is when I got to pass on what I had learned. Thats why I like to help people at these events so much. You will get the chance one day buddy!
Patrick
-
RUN!? >:D. I have to back up to mosey speed! Hee! Hee! Lol! Hot is hot! Muggy is bad! Water is good! Stay hydrated and in the shade as much as possible! Got to get some ice cube trays for the camper! Off to Wally World! And the Planet workout place! Got to look lean and all that stuff! Already handsome, so that ain't a porblem (lol)!
Hawkdancer
-
Been busy here lately but can’t wait to get to mojam!!
Ya Dave wyatt’s Been working on his beard he thinks he can get you this year !!! Maybe you need a pencil holder like the ring girls in boxing just follow you around ya know just a idea ! I’ve got a bow I’ve been working on if I get to the point to put some bends in it you are more than welcome to use it for demo. But don’t hold your breath been hard to get anything done on it since Michigan . See ya in a month or there abouts
Jon made some invisible arrows for you but have lost them maybe I will find them by mojam !! 😉
-
Wow, just got caught up on this thread and it was a darn good read! Looking forward to havin a tarp out and beatin on some rock in a shaded spot somewhere. Gonna be good to hang with you fellers again and enjoy the sights and sounds! Heat?!? What heat???
-
Scott I have some rock I'm gonna bring for you to beat on. After the OJAM campout this past weekend I think I am heat tempered pretty well.
-
Sweet! Bring your tools this time and knock something out.
-
just a month away guys... you need to all start running up and down the road in the hottest part of the day to get prepared. (-S
Ummm, nah... ::)
I'm up in Denver. Not hot and some micro- breweries, small batch distilleries and the Coors plant all within short driving distance. ;D
See ya'll in a month. :OK

Stay hydrated my friend! Remember if you want a cold one it has to have blue mountains!
I think working out in the heat on everyones AC systems has me about ready for mojam. Weather man said that today want going to have a heat advisory. It didn't, only got to 94 and the heat index was 103, I thought it was pretty nice out! Definitely cooler that the last 5 days of heat indexes of 110 to 113. So I think I'm ready! Cant wait, bows are piling up around here!
Scott, I would love to break a little rock with you this year if you wouldn't mind?
Patrick
-
Paul,
How long are you up here? I'm just up the road (I25) in Loveland. We got some real good breweries here, too! Sent a pm.
Hawkdancer
-
Hi of 67 here by the big lake today. I'm thinking I'd melt at mojam low 50's overnight
Bjrogg
-
Oh ya bj rub it in !! Told Sheryl we need to move up there but she hates the cold ! I always said I liked the changing of the seasons in Kansas but only have two anymore winter and summer .
Come on down to mojam it will be fun going to be a good one !!
Almost sounds like there will be more people breaking rocks than making bows😃.
-
Andy I really would love to but that's right about our wheat harvest time and also when my cousin comes back home from California. I'm really thinking that get together you guys have in March. Forget the name right now. I was planning for it this past March but my grandson had his Cub Scout pine derby race. I just couldn't miss it. Hopefully next year.
Bjrogg
-
We got 2 seasons out here too, winter and August, but we ain't real sure about August! This is a bit of a different year, though. 60-70 this week, 90s next week. The 600-800 mile jaunts sort of hinder making it to many new events, especially when they conflict with established schedules and traditions,
Not to mention things like harvest time.
Hawkdancer
-
It's going to be here before I now it. We are nailing down a rental car and checking out the tent this weekend. Hoping to arrive on Sunday or Monday. Someone save a shade tree for me will ya? ;)
I spoke to a few people this last week at the Compton Trad Shoot that said that have a blast at MOJAM so we are getting more and more excited. Cahl usually doesn't show any outward excitement about things but he has been working on his stave more than usual this week. I dare say he's ready for you all.
-
Hope you and the Cahl man have a great time.
-
Well, the first day of summer, and it is now noon-thirty. Temperature is an unbelievable 67 degrees here in KC MO.
Can't believe it after the temperatures during the last month or so. Could this be a sign for spectacular weather at MoJAM I asked myself...then I remembered this is Mizzurah, who knows what the next hour will bring.
But at this point in time, we're groovin' on the low temps, nice breeze and a bit of rain.

It will be good to see some first timers spend the week with us. Glad to hear that your going to come early. You will get to see how mojam develops throughout the week. Although I have to say, nobody is ever ready for us! ;D but im glad he is getting some work done in preperation. Looking forward to seeing you again!

Oh if MoJam is like today, I would be in heaven! I have been working outside about 50 miles south of KC all day and barely even broke a sweat! This weather is liable to spoil a fellar! :)
I am looking forward to meeting all the new people and seeing all the old people!
Neal
-
Glad to hear you are coming early. Ill be there early to and working on some things. The place is almost to full capacity by wednesday anymore. Thursday you can get a spot if you know someone, and by friday, you can still get a spot, but you become oart of someone elses camp! (Which is always welcome.) On more than one occasion, ive had impromptu tents or even just cots thrown up im my front yard, so to speak. (-S
Less than a month!
-
I'm thinking fish fry on tuesday evening. I have plenty of fish if others want to contribute some sides.
-
if there's going to be a big meal Tuesday...I will have to come a day earlier... -C-
-
Hell, we can always stow gear under the camper to make a bunk for a needy soul -long as the wind doesn't blow us away!
Jon, if you are talking about catfish and hush puppies, I'll be starting out Sunday to be there. Getting ready to start the sourdough bread and the home brew! Bread goes fresh baked into the freezer, home brew gets aged in the bottle! May sneak in a bottle of blackberry mead, too! And a sparkling water for Cahl!
Sounds like the earlier you get there the better chances you have of getting any spot! Btw, what are the rules and regs on campfires, grills, etc? I assume the city does mosquito control, but the mosquitos. Don't always pay attention >:D (=)!
Hawkdancer
-
Mosquito control.....That's funny
-
Grills are OK but no ground are campfires allowed.
Oh, you make blackberry mead? (A) ;D
-
I'm thinking fish fry on tuesday evening. I have plenty of fish if others want to contribute some sides.
Jon, I can provide taters for frying up. Maybe some cole slaw too.
Mosquito control.....That's funny
Apple pie, blackberry mead and clear liquids in quart jars will take care of the mosquitoes. You won't even notice them... ;D
honestly, other than an occasional annoying mosquito getting in my tent and buzzing around my ears, I do not remember them being bad. But I am just naturally repulsive, so biting critters do not bother me too much....
Neal
-
Hawk the fish will be a mixture of crappie,red ear,and bass. Of course the obligatory hushpuppies.
Neal taters always go with fish :)
Would be good if somone brings an extra burner to cook taters on.
-
Would be good if somone brings an extra burner to cook taters on.
I’m bringing a big flat top grill. It would work great for those taters.
-
This batch of blackberry was started Sep 17 and bottled Jan 18, mellowing out nicely! The home brew will be a fast honey amber ale, but smooth.
Hawkdancer
-
Is there such a thing as misquito management? Definitely not at mojam, they ain't terrible but a good thermacell and some citranella candles or such is always a good thing to have.
Jon I can bring another fish fryer and a pot for cooking.
Dave do I need to bring my smoker? Do you have any rabbits to go in it this year?
I'm thinking about bringing a couple whole tenderloins and putting them on the smoker. Maybe for Wednesday? What do you all think?
I'm sure ill have a bow to finish up this year myself. So hopefully I'll be getting some work done on it as well!
Patrick
-
Hawk, any type of homemade liquid in glass jars is always welcome. The only warning I could give is lock your cooler, because I love the stuff, especially the clear liquid!
Patrick
-
Pat another fryer would be great.
-
No problem bud, I'll throw it in.
Patrick
-
Dave (DVS) deserves a special spot! as do a few other of the guys (like Patrick) that do all of the work every year at MoJam... :OK
I must be in charge of saving special spots.
-
Was planning to arrive Wed. Ya'll talking of fish fry is making it difficult to stick to plan.
-
I wish tim and dano would come back out to. Jd used to show id used to cone to mojam to, butbi bet its been nine years.
i really miss Dano. He was the first person I met when we started going to mojam. He sure had some good lemonade
-
Jon we have an extra burner and pot we can bring out since we will already be here. let me know what kind of side dish. we also have some fish we can bring.
-
I am trying to do something for the 20th year and I was wondering if everyone could send me their recipes that they have brought or going to bring to mojam. everyone seems to really enjoy everyones food from across the nation and would like to make a little cookbook. I know my leave going how did they make this, what was in it? Then i forget to find who made it. So please share with me your recipes, I would truly appreciate it. Just pm them to me.
Thanks and am looking forward to seeing my yearly family again soon.
-
Any kind of side dish will be good. I personally like cucumbers and onions in vinegar :OK
-
I have been known to enjoy a nip of the barley, fermented and distilled, as well. Will keep the fridge double locked! And the camper guarded by a leprechaun who enjoys a nip as well >:D. And packs a .44! Ounce bottle! (lol) (lol)! Will likely bring a big bottle of clear liquid, as well Bread is baked, brew gets started tomorrow! Of course, today was spent slaving over a. Hot oven, and making up an unfamiliar recipe keto bread for Jacie. Plan to get some more work done on the hickory bow as well! Got it pulling past brace height at desired draw weight, now to make a string, and keep the tiller right! :BB (SH) :NN! I assume "fake" fires (Propane patio fire) are acceptable, with a proper base and a shut ok valve? It ain't really camping without a fire! USFS allows them during fire bans.
Hawkdancer
-
That will work Hawk. We have used a little above ground grill/fire pit to cook on. -C-
I'm not worried about your leprechaun, Ive got a fix for him, golden dust will keep him at bay! :BB
Patrick
-
Twenty five days to go!
Things are shaping up and it looks like it's going to be a great Mo-Jam.
Been doing a little work at the range to get ready, and it's looking good.
Can't wait to get it started!
-
Also, Marshall Parks is having Day In The Park again this year, so there will be stuff going on all throughout the park on Saturday. Bring the whole family!
-
I hope to be there on Tuesday and I'll be bringing Jon a buttermilk pie. Since he missed out when we were at Chris's place he, Jon, gets first dibs then he can share. If he chooses to... >:D
;) ;D
Oh, and Sue will bring one down for the potluck supper too. :)
-
Don't recollect ever having tasted buttermilk pie! Sounds good! Have to check the freezer for peaches for a cobbler, or something! I think I'm gaining weight just hearing about the food!
Hawkdancer
-
Buttermilk pie is kind of a Texas/Southern thing. My wife got the recipe from our Pastor's wife when we were in Tulsa. :D
Food, drink and camaraderie is one of the things that makes these bowmaking gatherings so much a fun. -C-
Some of the folks even get a bow or two built... :BB
;D
-
Thanks Paul! I MIGHT share.... ;D
-
Paul I'll buy one of those pies from you!
Patrick
-
Are the gates going to be open on Sunday? We are thinking about coming earlier this year.
-
Yes.
I will be there Saturday, will probably leave open from then on.
-
Are the gates going to be open on Sunday? We are thinking about coming earlier this year.
They had to start leave the gate open on Saturday when I started coming evey year, lol!
Now Dave and I argue over who is going to be there first! Lol
Looking forward to seeing you guys Robin. Are ya'll bringing your big smoker?
Patrick
-
Paul I'll buy one of those pies from you!
Patrick
My wife is laughing Patrick and appreciates the compliment. :OK
She's coming down Thursday.
Jon, I'll let your conscience be your guide... ;)
-
You fellas are sure gonna chow down it sounds like.I'm bringing a smoke cooked pork loin/loaf of bread and some patato salad to get myself by.Oh and maybe some gatorade or something like that too.
-
I will be dining on the wonderful food from the concession stand as soon as they open it. Before that i have no idea but i can bring whatever is needed.
-
Dave a package of tortillas to eat the sweetbreads with would be cool.
-
Yes, Patrick, I’ll have my smoker there all week.
We may need ice on Tuesday this year, with everyone that says they are gonna be there by then!
-
Ill have several packs of tortillas for breakfast burritos as well jon. Probably have a few rabbits by then to.
Robin, ice on tuesday would be amazing! So would the gates being open on Saturday. I dont get my kids until subday at 6 but maybe i can try and get tben early and we can head down then! I cant wait to see the happiest place on earth again.
I got rained out today so im getting some projects flr monam ready until i have to paddle. Still ne interest in a small float trip one morning?
-
That might not be a bad idea for some to take a dip in the river David.I figure to be kinda busy.I've subdued any more notions to build another bow here before Mo Jam.Am ready with what's needed for the broadhead flight shoot.At least my share of it anyway.
I've heard the others are too so we'll see you all there.
-
Ed I have subdued myself as well. Only finished five bows this month and have 13 roughed out. Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things :BB
-
That's quite a few bows in my book.Don't think anyone can swing faster than that.Hate to see when your not subdued making bows.That's over 1 bow a week.
Did you get your arrows made?
-
Jon...you made me want to take a nap... :) I do need to get started on the auction kids arrows today... I haven't even thought about a flight bow, other than the bows I already have. I do have a couple of hunting bows drying after snakeskin/sinew backing. They still need tillered but we can do that at MoJam. :OK
-
Ed I need to make some points for arras. Hope to have something put together in time.
-
PM sent Jon.
-
Been busy here but I have been finishing up a couple items for the auction table.
-
"Officially" starts three weeks from today! Unofficially it starts two weeks from Saturday :)
Neal
-
Since everyone is getting some bows ready to bring, I guess we will start making some drinks to bring. You all know I am there for the fun and entertainment that I never build anything.
-
And it's ok to feed the bear.
-
maybe I should bring the "bear" some apple pie (ale)... (lol)
I'm working on the auction kids arrows... but really need to get some tillering done... or let some of the tillering gurus have a go at that while there... :BB
-
Bob - I've got several bows in that category - " Let the tillering gurus have a crack at it".
Hmm, Got a couple things for the auction myself. There's likely to be a bunch of good stuff in the auction.
Ginger beer is about all I'm bringing for refreshments, I'll bet the water is the primary hydration choice during daylight hours.
We've had the 'strawberry moon' so the countdown has commenced. Loading practice commences soon.
-
Giff,
You're right water in daylight, lots of it, adult beverages at night! The MOJAM ale is bubbling quite merrily, should be ready to bottle Monday or Tuesday! What are the guidelines for the auction table items? I'm not real good at comprehending fast moving speech from auctioneers, we usually have a slower fun pace to get everybody involved as we raise money for the wolfhound club. Works pretty good for us. I'm going to have to get loaded and mostly ready by Friday, 13 Jul, I'm judging earthdorgs on Sat, and have a black powder shoot on Sunday, plan to head out somewhat early on Monday, it's a 2 day haul from here at my age. Hope to get there Tuesday afternoon. Gettin' antsy!
Hawkdancer

You will have no problem navigating this auction. If the auctioneer is hard to understand or follow ot definitly not because hes to fast. >:D
Any and about all items are accepted flr the auction. Common donations are bows, arrows, moonshine, jellies, jams, blankets, knappednpoints, staves, handmade items, baked goods, (talking to you paul 8) ) , coolers have been a big success as well, but they tend to get pricey quick.
-
If anyone needs advice or help of any kind as far as the auction is concerned... just ask Lennie. :) It is one of the best parts of the week.
-
. . . . coolers have been a big success as well, but they tend to get pricey quick.
Hehehe!
This idea may be useful to some. Here's way to keep rain water from accumulating on the roof of your popup canopy. Pool noodles in the corners!

Yep did that on a soft top on my UTV. Works good

Careful Dave, the auctioneer has also been known to award things to a person even if they didn’t know they were bidding😎

The "baked good" referenced may not keep well till the auction Dave. ( The heat and humidity :( )
Wife says she'll do her best tho...
-
Best to keep an eye on the auctioneer, then! And a poker face! Might be able to get a redwood box together by then! Maybe a loaf of home made sourdough bread? Or a 6 pack of MOJAM ale? Will be looking to get advice on staves, layout, tillering, Flintknapping, arrow making, etc!
Hawkdancer
-
Hawk, no worries about the auction, im sure you won't have any trouble keeping up. Just watch your gatoraid bottle at the auction. Some how mine last year ended up full of apple pie. Though not complaining about the pie, but I was pretty thirsty when I downed about half the bottle with one shot.
Patrick
-
I thought that was normal for you Pat :P
Can't wait :BB
-
Hahaha keith. Its mass confusion all around and i wouldn't have it any other way. Mojam is so close now i can almost feel the cold breeze coming down mojam alley and see the sight of loyd and the children cooling off from the spray of the firetruck!

Yeah, last year I was a little bit of a lush. Had a lot going on, hopefully this year I'll just have a few for fun.

May have to post the "pie certificate" to be picked up at the cooler! Will send a pm re: travel plans.

Sounds almost like an extra "jug" of something maybe in order! Will probablbly bottle the MOJAm ale
Tuesday. It'll be conditioned 2 weeks, just hope it doesn't jump out of the bottle!

Sounds almost like an extra "jug" of something maybe in order! Will probablbly bottle the MOJAm ale
Tuesday. It'll be conditioned 2 weeks, just hope it doesn't jump out of the bottle!
Hawdancer
Hawk, an extra jug of something is always a good thing.
Just under 2 weeks for me guys! Got some stuff to finish up, just hope I get it all done.
Getting antsy, I'm already on mojam time!

Right there with you brother! Its getting harder to concentrate on work the closer it gets. Projects keep getting added at work too. I was going to take off next week to get ready for MoJam, but now will be working right up till MoJam starts. I am looking forward to relaxing and visiting with everybody.
I am working on a few extra jugs of refreshments to bring too. Hopefully we will have enough!

The tent passed its pre trip inspection today. The boy and I got it set up in record time. We have gotten a little spoiled camping in the trailer. I’m used to having everything we need already packed so we are making lists of lists to make.
Dave- Cahl asked if you were working on your chess skills.
-
As somebody who's never actually seen a semi-professionally made bow before, you could say that I'm rather excited to get down to MoJam. (Still trying to deal with getting this hickory bow done in this heat and humidity, but hopefully I'll get it done in these next couple of weeks.) Is there anything in particular I need to bring? Obviously the bow, tools, and camping gear should come along but I'm debating whether or not to bring a couple of Osage logs I cut back in the winter with me. Also, is there anything I need to do beforehand as far as registration is concerned?
Thanks,
Shane
-
soggydog- bring the osage if you want to work on it...there will be plenty of help there. No registration needed...just sign the guest book when you can and put a stick pin in the map showing where home is... :)
-
Soggy dog,
See Patrick's comment above, re: extra jug >:D!
CJ,
Chess skills!? (lol) >:D >:D >:D (lol). Hope we all gain some new skills while we're there!
Hawkdancer
-
Hey Bob,
Is Rob coming down ?
-
Tell cahl to take it easy on me, ive been practicing and relized im not very good, hut im in for a few games.
Soggy, a bench never hurt. There are several there and im bringing two im sure others are bringi g some too.
-
Cahl would probably clean my plow in a chess match, too! Haven't played in many years! Might be able to beat him at "Tall Tales", though (lol)!
Hawkdancer
-
CJ,
Chess skills!? (lol) >:D >:D >:D (lol). Hope we all gain some new skills while we're there!
Hawkdancer
He almost always has his board with us when we go somewhere. He loves to teach anyone how to play. I was surprised at the amount of kids that were playing at the Marshall Primitive Rendezvous.
-
bob, i will be looking for my bottle of pie. Greg and the oldest have been hard at it here making some beer. Even made me some pineapple honey ale. Also have extra jar of orangecicle for lenny's wife.
-
Little Bear,
I always thought pie was better on a plate, with ice cream! Is this bottle stuff a newfangled way. To eat pie! (lol) >:D!
Hawkdancer
-
Hope you guys have a happy fourth. Ive got my paddle in, just have to cut the grass and then its bow making time! Or at least mojam project time. Even with this extra day i doubt ill get them all finished in time.
I still have to find my goggles and flippers for the pool, clean out the camper, and round up tools, and...
-
I know were going to eat pretty well this fourth.
Been peeking at the projected fore cast for Mo Jam area and time period.Hope the weatherman is right.Pretty pleasant.
-
Well if Cahl is up for it I wouldn't mind a game of chess. I was pretty dang good at one point but I haven't played much in a few years.
Yes, Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone gets full of bbq and is safe with the fire crackers.
I to managed the day off, got up way early and worked on a bow for a couple of hours. But now its honey do time. Cooking burgers and dogs for her work clan and hopefully getting my grass cut. Ive been so busy that I haven't had time to get gas for my mowers. The jug has been riding around in the back of my truck for 4 days. But I did manage to get the 2 trees cut up that fell in my yard in the storm the other day.
Ooohh I can smell the Osage now! Its almost here!
Patrick

Updated forecast for mojam! Not to bad, maybe a little rain.

We've seen it worse. But, talk about understatement .. .. 94 referred to as "very warm." HA!
-
Mow the grass! I knew I forgot something! Got to get the MOJAM ale bottled, too! Important things first! Anxiety is building! Bow is getting closer to draw length and weight! Got to make a string and figure out the fades and handle shape I want!

I'll make sure to bring along some of my tomatoes for Rob
-
With everything that is going on, I want to make sure that I remember to thank Keith and the club and ask if there is anything I can do to help. Putting together my donations to the clout shoot and for the auction. Making a few extra arrows so I don't have to try and retrieve my misses from the clutches of six foot poison ivy bushes.
-
Looks like its shaping up to be a great week!
And speaking of weeks, only one more left for me, then I will truly be on mojam time!
Patrick
-
Making a few extra arrows so I don't have to try and retrieve my misses from the clutches of six foot poison ivy bushes.
Carle has definitely shot the courses before . . . (SH)
-
That is something I need to try to do this year. I think this is either my 5th or 6th year and Ive yet to shoot the course. But Ive made almost every late night shoot under the mercury vapor light!
Patrick
-
We will have to get up early a d go shoot one morning pat. I dont think i have shot the courses in three years! They are pretty fun.
-
Morning is always cooler. One year it was so wet and slimy we couldn't get over any of the courses.
-
Back in the day... we formed a group called "NADS" ? for those of us that started every morning by shooting the upper targets and coming out at the clubhouse just as biscuits and gravy was ready... (SH)
-
We will have to get up early a d go shoot one morning pat. I dont think i have shot the courses in three years! They are pretty fun.
Sounds like a plan bud. The only thing I try to shoot every year is the clout shoot. There use to be a full strut turkey on the way down the hill. I would shoot that target on the way down but I've never even seen the rest of the course.
Heck, the only time in shot the running pig was when we done the red oak bow challenge.
Patrick
-
I shoot the same turkey Pat.
Bob ot sounds like we need the early morning shooter club initiation.
I Have stsrted gathering things to go today. I get my kids this week and next week so we should be there saturday to see robin open the gates. I have to come gone subday though to grab my race partner and boat so mo subday monday camp for me. I out another coat of finish on marleys auction bow, if she wants to give it up mkw that is. We may have to make another that week. Its getting really exciting now! I cant wait to see everyone pulling in!
Seven days!
-
we are setting up too on Saturday so see ya then. We have lots of homemade stuff to try -C-
-
Cahl and I will see you all on Sunday late afternoon or early evening. Do we go to the park or is there another enterance?
-
Coby when you see the park look for the public pool. Where the street curves north to the pool there is a gravel drive to the south that goes down to the spot. You will see the golf course as well for a landmark.
-
I got kinda lost my first tine getting there, but kts pretty easy to find now i think. We are packing a few things and making plans for food. I think sunday or monday we are eating dinner in town and are going to watch a movie at the theater. We may even look into playing sone golf, disk and regular.
-
The cemetery will be in front of you just before the curve then the golf course on the right just past the cemetery. Mind the speed limit, it's STRICTLY ENFORCED... this is from personal experience. :-[
-
Thank you.
-
Early morning shoot sounds like sumpin to try. Following coffee, of course.

What day are you golfing Dave?
-
Im not sure what day, or if i will, or if i am even allowed. It may be a private course, and i douby they allow gym shorts and tie dye. Lol
Speed limit is enforced as well as no one in the bed of trucks, not even to go to the pool. Ive been stopped for that as well.

My battery operated fans and case of batteries showed up yesterday. Now all I need to do is finish up this new website/blog I am working on and get it up and running so I can actually begin packing everything up for our trip.
I pulled up a google earth view of the area and I see exactly where you all are talking about to as far as where to go. My directions are bringing in us in from the north and it looks like possibly local back roads roads the last 2 hrs of my drive. It looks like it's bringing me in from the pool end of the area and then south to the grounds. It's all good 'll have the boy as my co pilot.
I also used my Google Fu for the local area and found the WalMart for groceries/ice and a Sonic for dinner and shakes ;) I'm looking forward to finishing up my first bow that I started at the Marshall Rendezvous in May. I'm going to bring an extra stave or two for us also.
I also can't wait to shoot that beautiful bow I got from Osage Outlaw at the trading blanket in May. I've been to busy "adulting" to get to shoot. It's a touch heavy but I'm loving it! Not to mention that it is absolutely stunning. Everyone that sees it in my studio comments on it. Definitely a wonderful keepsake with a great memory.
-
Sounds like some of you will beat me there. I am in California but heading East today. Also want to let everyone know that I have a cool drum and hardly used clamp for the auction.😎. Unless Dave comes and gets it first.
-
let the games begin! :OK
I started on my list the last couple of days as well... I'm thinking that I will bring an osage bow that came off Patrick's form...it needs an expert tiller guru to finish the tiller for that type of bow. :)
Anyone that needs me to bring anything, please let me know... I'll be there Tuesday about noon... if I can wait that long.
-
Im not sure what day, or if i will, or if i am even allowed. It may be a private course, and i douby they allow gym shorts and tie dye. Lol
Sure wish I could come.
My cousin and a bunch of my buddies spent a couple nights casting my Atlatl around my lawn. It's a pretty big lawn and I've been thinking about setting up a Atlatl golf course. Maybe put some hola hops out for holes. I'm thinking gym shorts and tye dye would be proper attire.
Bjrogg
PS safe travels to everyone and please take lots of pictures.
-
Clint certainly builds a nice bow Coby.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again
Early morning shoot would be fun. Definitely after coffee Mike

Bob I'm not saying that I'm an expert but I have tillered at least a dozen bows like that. Easy peasy man.
-
cool... I cut 3" off each end so it should be a little easier to tiller now... LOL It was just a wee bit too curvy when it looked like this...
-
I am bringing some staves, if anyone is interested. No real character, pretty clear and halfway straight, cut spring of 2016. Just look me up, I am in the plane with no wings.
-
Leaving in four days! I have to get my drum back and my table vise before the auction.
-
Looks like I am going to be tenting instead of trailering! Made a practice run of 200 miles and the Sequoia didn't like pulling in the heat and wind! Got it scheduled for oil Change and tuneup Friday! Most of the gear is in the camper, just have to transfer it to the cargo hauler, and get the one pole loaded, as well as the staves and shoots, arrow and bow making tools, etc. MOJAM ale is bottled and sourdough bread is baked and fresh frozen, should be thawed out by the time I get there, but I have 3 events Sat & Sun that will cut into Loading time! Plan to bring a fan and the little generator. Still almost a 2day haul from here, plan to get there Tuesday afternoon, I hope!

Hi y’all! I just read up the 20 odd pages of this thread. It sounds like MOJAM should be a great time again this year. I’m planning to be there as early as possibly Saturday, and planning to stay through the following Sunday. I’ve been away from PA for a while and have certainly missed it! I’m trying to polish up my tech certifications to aide my job search. PA is too interesting when I’m supposed to be reading and studying cyber security data minutia. ...but I’ll be damned if I’ll miss the MOJAM fun for any cert though!
It’s good to be home...
Onebow
BTW - I’ve taken up carving smoking pipes out of bow building scraps. I’m bringing this one to donate to the auction table...
-
Miss you Eric.
That pipe looks like it's perfect for lighting with bifocals. Nice bowl.
Bjrogg
-
Hi Eric, Hope all's well. Looking forward to seein ya next week. I should/hope to be in the usual spot by Tuesday.
-
Eric,
That is a fine looking pipe, very unique! Good way to utilize the whole stave!
Hawkdancer
-
Darn nice pipe there Eric; do you have any other examples the for sale or trade kind? Like a oom paul or bulldog? Inquiring minds and all that there...
-
Thats a cool looking pipe. Its good to see you foubd some better use for your staves. >:D
-

I think Cahl would love to join you fellas for a bit it that would be ok. I also have a huge flat top grill that I can offer up if you need it for cooking the taters if you need one. I can also bake up some cookies to share or bring anything else that would be suggested.
-
Will be there.
-
Coby all are welcome. I am just looking for a head count. Cookies are always welcome in my presence ;D
-
The kids and i will be there Jon. I am bringing my fryer and propane, plus ill grab some oil. Any preference?
-
No preference Dave. The more burners the faster we can eat!
-
I’ll be there
-
I’ll be at the fish fry. I’ll bring something desert-ish...

I'll still get there wedsnday around noon.If there are any left over pieces Jon I'll take care of them....lol.

I should be there Jon. I'll have your pie for you and I'll see what else I can bring.
-
I should be there Jon. I'll have your pie for you . . .

Im stopping paul at the ks line then

Im stopping paul at the ks line then
I guess I underestimated how much you guys liked that pie..? ???

I'm sure hoping to be there Tuesday by noon. Good Lord Willing.
-
Hoping to get there by following Paul out of Kansas! I'll have sourdough bread and butter, and maybe some homegrown jelly! The MOJAM ale will also be ready for tasting
Hawkdancer
-
I think I'll be rolling in on Thursday morning
-
I think I'm going to join Mike at the gate to help get the pie back from Dave. Jon, we will be sure to deliver the pan to you safely! -C-
I'll be there hopefully around noon on Sunday. I'll also bring my fish fryer and tank. And can help cook.
Jon, I can bring some extra fish if you need me to, I have lots of crappie and white bass, lots!
I can't wait for this vacation, work has been really rough this week and has really hinderd my preparation plan. But I hope to have everything loaded Saturday and head out early Sunday. 3 more days!
Patrick
-
Pat I have the fry covered. If you want to bring some though I'm always down for some grilled fish tacos!
-
Darn nice pipe there Eric; do you have any other examples the for sale or trade kind? Like a oom paul or bulldog? Inquiring minds and all that there...
I’ll have a few with me that I could either trade or sell. I’m pretty s l o w at making them, so there’s not likely to be more than just a few...
Here is one I finished yesterday...
OneBow
-
I will be there. Will bring some corn on the cob

Eric - way cool, I'll be heading your way once MoJAM commences...or Tuesday...
Dang, won't be long now, MoJAM fever is reaching a fever pitch...
-
So Bob, just so I am understanding you correctly. You are saying I should get the sweet corn from somewhere else?😝

We should be arriving on Wednesday early afternoon!!! I’ve got a couple new things in our trailer !
Wyatt is trying to decide if he will bring a few staves to sell or trade all he has has left is the ones he kind of wants to keep. I know he is looking for a rasp like he used at Michigan I believe it was a Shinto rasp but you never know about what he would trade for! As always he will be willing to help split staves just ask him. Can’t wait to see everybody!! Oh thinking I might stop by Paul’s on Monday night and sample this pie everybody is talking about😃hope there is some left for you all!!

-
Uncertainty hung in the air for awhike, but im good to go. Hope to be there sunday evening.
-
I will be there tomorrow!
-
Well I got loaded up and plan to be on the road sometime sunday.
-
This will have to be the earliest we have all been there. The place might be full by Wednesday! We can always squeeze in a few more people though.
-
I heard from Lennie and they won't be getting in till Thursday so I'll be holding a small place for them at the usual spot.
-
Man its going to be full this year!
Just got off the phone with my Uncle Gary, he said they will be there around Wednesday, said he was bringing some froes, a big tanned elk hide and some other furs and all sorts of other stuff. Said he is more prepared for our crowd this year.
I'm officially on MOJAM TIME! Got off work at 7 this evening and all I got to do is get packed, well maybe a little laundry and mow the grass. I should be leaving out early Sunday morning if everything goes as planed.
Maybe when I get there Hawk will have those "mojam ales" iced down!
Patrick
-
To help with your packing. Robin was able to get 8 electrical plugs added. 4 on each of the poles on the east side.
-
Wooooooooooowwwwwwww! Cheers to you guys!
-
I have managed to pull out an pack almost everything on my list. I will finish packing it all up after I pick up my rental in the morning. I'm not sure how big of truck bed I'm going to have to shove all of these goodies in so I may have to adjust and improvise.
Gotta run to the store for a few groceries too. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to bake some cookies. Otherwise you all might get store bought.
Still need to pick out a stave to bring with me. I'm sure I'll finish the one I am working on while I'm there. Maybe I'll just see what everyone is bringing to sell too. It would be nice to buy one as a memento of this occasion. <----- I'll use that as my excuse to purchase one there. ;)
I can tell Cahl is getting worked up about it. He isn't one to show excitement or emotion but he's been out of his normal teenage funk today and laughing at my awful jokes.
-
To help with your packing. Robin was able to get 8 electrical plugs added. 4 on each of the poles on the east side.
I dont want to use them when others will probably need them, cpap and such, so, with bringing a smallish generator, is there a place I should park? Such as a generator designated area or does it matter?
-
Hour and half away visiting Jim Hammer. Be there maybe tomorrow. Arvin
-
There is a grocery store close by if you want to save the space. I do my food shopping a few times during the week to keep things cold and save room.
If you oark next to Patrick kevin ko one will hear your generator over the roar of his. >:D.
We are finishing up packing in the morning. I got the truck half loaded. Just have to drop amd pack the camper, load the rest and hit the road. I do t know what time we will be there, but im guessing 3.
-
Also, i will be the guy with the short red beard and tie dye if you dont know me, come say hi! I might even get name tags. Lol
-
Maybe we can all get close to the electrical Hookups and save fuel. I am bringing a small generator and my fan and a couple of longish extension cords and a power bar! No poison ivy to set it in, please! Got to get everything loaded! The Sequoia checked out ok, I hope, but bringing the one pole anyway! And a 12x pop up! Fake fire and extra propane to run it, bug chasers, Dutch oven, etc. and a cot! Too much to. Do this weekend! Judging an Earthdog trial tomorrow about 40 miles away, got a black powder shoot on Sunday as well as a show that Jacie is playing Sunday! Do have my sign made, just have to remember to bring poles to hang it on! Everyone travel safely!

Patrick
-
Ok Dave, I've never actually had my generator at mojam, I had one I borrowed from Kevin! -C-
Thats good news Arvin! You going to camp with us for the week?
Man, all I have to do is get packed, but I have to pack everything, haven't even began to start. Im sure the wife will have something she thinks I need to do also. But ll be 99% done today, and probably put my bows in the truck in the morning.
See everyone tomorrow!
P. S.
My little gas smoker bit the dust. Unless I find a new regulater for it I wouldn't have it there this year.
Patrick
-
All of you Early Birds drive safe now... :OK
I'll be "guiding" Mr Hawkdancer and we'll see ya'll sometime Tuesday. :D
-
Pat I can bring a charcoal smoker. I got plenty of charcoal.
I will be there early tomorrow afternoon.
-
Patrick,
What type regulator do you need? I have several grill type regulators laying around the garage I can bring along, big 20# bottle hookup type. From my garage to yours!
I will start loading the trailer this afternoon, but 95F is almost enough to slow me down >:D! Getting anxious! Better make a list and check it twice!
Paul,
I'll send a text when I'm about to head out Monday! Should be able to roll pretty well, the cargo trailer has a low profile, except for the pole rack. it is about 8-9 hours to Your area if I remember correctly.
Hawkdance
-
The truck is almost loaded. Then some messing around town and then on the way.
-
Pat I can bring a charcoal smoker. I got plenty of charcoal.

That would work Neil, Ill bring a big bag of hardwood Charcoal also.
Hawk, that would be great of you to bring a regulator. But don't worry about it, from what I can find, my smoker takes a special kind with a weird little adapter for the burner controles. I'll just order a new one.
I'll see you guys tomorrow!
Patrick
-
Im leaving tomorrow afternoon. Yall need not worry about that loud generator Pat had borrowed from me, it walked away one day. I have a much smaller one now, that i am bringing with me.
-
Gate is open.
-
Im letting some storms pass and we are leaving
-
Gate is open.
That sounds like a voice of experience bud!
I had to come in from the heat, probably the hottest day if the year today. Took a knapp, which I never get to do, and now for the second half of my prepperation! Oh, and mow the grass.
Patrick
-
Im letting some storms pass and we are leaving
Just looked at the weather Dave, looks like it could be a bit stormy in Marshall until dust. But tomorrow and Monday looks to be a beautiful day!
Patrick
-
no rain here yet. a beautiful day actually. some fluffy clouds
-
It looks like its about to hit Marshall. Still joled up here at the house!

Well, it was a fiasco this morning but I made it through with out losing my cool. Went to pick up the truck I rented from enterprise and the refuse to use my bank credit debit card as payment. They said regular credit card only. I have one credit card but I keep the limit low so if my online purchases are hacked I’m not out much. I even tried cash. They don’t take that either. This was at 11 am. Then the light bulb went off as I was waiting for John to pick me back up. There was a van at the local U-Haul this morning I was 20 min away and they closed in 30. I called and let the gentleman know what had happened and he stayed until I could get there to pick it up. And they had no issues with my card. Whew, crisis overted. I saw Cahl’s face when it looked like we might not be leaving tomorrow. And man... I knew how much he was looking forward to this. So the van is loaded and we leave tomorrow early. I would have drove my truck if needed to but I haven’t double check that oil pump since my last trip. I’m sure it was the sensor but I wanted to not worry about a break down so far from home

I just got a confirmation picture from Tinker and his wife. That was there last year and I help them build an ash Bow. last year was the first year they was there. He just sent me a picture of his camper set up at mojam said he is waiting on everybody else. It's going to be a good one this year!

Making batches of bbq sauce right now, and leaving tomorrow! Got a new HOT recipe to bring!

OK...this officially starts on Thursday... but the family just can't wait that long... ;D Dave just sent me this picture from Marshall... it's going to be a good one!

Jane counts

Wish you could to bud, I know you would thoroughly enjoy yourself.
Well it decided to storm on me last night here, so im finishing up my last bit of loading then grabbing a shower and ill be headed out. I feel like I'm for getting something and my truck looks a little empty but I have everything I need I think. Oh crap, my suit case! I need my clothes! I knew I was missing something.
See you all this afternoon!
Does anyone need anything? I can grab what ever before I head out or on my way.
Patrick
-
You early birds make me so jealous. A few more days for me.
-
Patrick, I need someone to do my job for a week so I can come play. Have fun everybody, don't forget to take lots of pictures. Safe travels.

I'm right there with you Aaron...and there's really nothing keeping me from leaving today... retirement is grand! I just finished patching all of the little gremlin things that always show up on the camper, but it's good to load now. I'm going to try to wait until Tuesday to leave... I need a couple of days to practice shooting... (--)
-
Got pretty much most everything but bows,arrows and clothes in the truck yesterday between rain showers.
So today I'm getting "in shape" for Mojam by working on my tractor. ::) There was a crack in the fuel filter bowl but we managed to get to the dealership for a replacement assembly just before they closed yesterday.
Still figuring to be there Tuesday with Hawkdancer as the extra "muscle" for pie protection. ;D
-
On my way!
After helping the wife trim the dog and cut the toenails and finally got everything loaded in the shower took I'm only on my way 2 hours later than I would like to be but I've been on mojam time since Friday at 7 p.m.
I should be there around 4 or 5.
Patrick
-
Looks like the load out crew is hard at work. I'm in that stage myownself, except it's kinda start and stop, the 'where the heck did I put that' phase is about over and carry it up and out is commencing.
Bob speaks the truth, Aaron, retirement does have its perks.
-
On the road. See yall round 7ish
-
... then grabbing a shower ...
Patrick
Shower? Shower?? You don't need stinkin' shower.
IT's MOJAM TIME!!
-
Screw that, im bringing my own shower!
-
The yard is cut and the groceries are bought. I'll pack the car tomorrow evening and head west Tuesday morning. See you guys Wednesday afternoon.
-
Loaded hooked up, almost ready to roll east! A bit later than I wanted, but forgot to load the rock base for the fake fire! If I ain't got it, I probably don't need it, or I'll buy it!
Hawkdancer
-
loaded everything but the kitchen sink...plan to head north about 6am...it's a little over 6 hours and all on hwy 65 after the first 35 miles. :) I can't wait to get into the coolness... (S)
-
Coolness, I've found, is a relative term.
Oh, I found some bowstrings, hoping one or more of them will fit.
I know what you mean, started tossing the tools in the blue bucket, soon, it was full. Hmmm.
Stop tomorrow morning for some ice, got gas already, and it's on the road again.
-
Sweetbreads are on the grill. You should be here ;D
-
You guys/gals who are there are killing me with no pictures!
Now I know what it's like for the folk who can't make it to MoJam.
-
Ahhhhh love camp fire stories....

Watch for detours at 65 and I44. I think they are supposed to be working on the overpass this week.
Its been awesome so far, and a viking showed up today! Thats all I can say. See you all soon!
Patrick
P. S. The Sweet breads were awesome!
-
thanks...It's 5am and I'm pulling out by 6...should be there just after noon... save me some lunch. :) -C-
-
I'm finishing up my packing tonight and tomorrow morning load up, should be on the road by 0630....so I should be there around 1500.
-
Hawkdancer got here to my place safely but a bit later than we'd hoped. We'll head out in a couple hours, or so, and get there this afternoon sometime.
Gotta get a couple chores done before leaving and pick some peppers to bring along.

Mojam range and bow making

Don't forget the pics guys. :OK

Clint is there. We will get plenty of pics once he gets back to "work".
-
Lotsa pics on fb.
Looks like having mucho fun and it's well-attended.
Bill made showing too.
-
we made it home, had way to much fun need a nap
-
I rolled in the drive back home at 2am this morning. As fun as always seeing and spend a few days old friends and meeting new ones. Getting to chat with people that I hold in high regards and consider important figures in the primitive archery and wood bow community. As always I ended up leaving with a little larger pile of loot than I intended to when I initially headed down, and have a new event that’s high on my favorites list. The broadhead flight shoot, after trying it and chatting with Steve, the gears have been turning in getting a new setup for next years broadhead flight shoot, to see what I can get.
Like every year, by the end of the week your dirty, tired and ready to get home, but you already miss the mojam family before you even pull out of the park.
I look forward to seeing everyone next year, if not sooner.
Sorry about the lack of pictures, there’s just too much fun going on to get distracted by packing around a phone everywhere.

Kinda hard to summarize MoJAM XX, as more brain cells kick in, I'll doubtless have more to say and in complete sentences.
The Marshall Bow Hunters are tremendously generous with their time and effort in providing a temporary home to all the attendees, working overtime to make sure we were taken care of. Thank you one and all. Thank you.
We met our old friends and made new ones, worked on projects under tutelage of many folks in the pavilion. We borrowed tools, lent tools, learned new skills, found out where we went wrong on the ones that didn't turn out quite as envisioned. Rather than list them and leave one or more out, you know who you are and I thank you and we all thank you.
All four major points of the compass were represented, the west coast of CA, the far north of MN, the hill country of Texas and the east coast of NC.
As far as MoJAM 21, I plan on being there, Good Lord Willing.

Had a great time!!!!!! Super Gathering, lots and lots of bow building. Thanks to Badger for putting on the Broadhead Shoot, enjoyed and learned a lot from that experience. That little contest brings the cream to the top.
Also want to thank all of MoJam Guys involved in putting this event on. It was great.
I was having so much fun I got only one picture of the twins.....Can you name them?
Thanks again,
DBar

Nice picture Bill. Something's missing? Pencils? Glad you all had a good time.

Be safe on the river, Dave, and best of luck.
Thanks for the heat gun lessons on the bow form.

I made it home by 630 pm. Hope all the stars align and I can return again next year. I had an awesome time with chatting with so many people and learning alot about bow making. I will post pictures when I can figure out how to make them small enough for the webpage to allow them lol 😆

That's two of the three stooges

Thank you Bob for Robs pickles. Wow that doesn't sound right. Had a wonderful time this week with awesome neighbors. Greg has been underway on his 5 year plan of his bow he is building. Thanks to everyone who helped him. He has been talking about doing this for 5 years and finally started one so we should have it done in another 5 (hence the 5 year plan). Can't wait til next year to see everyone again. Thank you to everyone who fed me over the week. Jon the fish was amazing. Rob the fish you cooked was also outstanding. Someone by us made some bread that was out of this world but I am not sure who it was. Brenda and Brad we are only 45 min apart lets get together and thanks for everything.
Til we meet again
-
Cahl and I just walked in the door here at home. I'll post a proper thank you after I my brain recharges fully. I will say that MOJAM is one of the best times I have ever had. Cahl and I were already planning next year's trip on the way home. (When he wasn't sleeping)
-
the twins.....Can you name them?
Dumb and Dumber?
Beauty and Beast?
-
Gail and Greg, thanks for letting my boys hang out at yku camo most of the week.
Bill, Im glad you made it to Mojam! It was cool to see you there hanging out with everyobe else. I wish i could have chatted more.
Clint, A a ron, Evin, and barefoot Scott and me had a fiercly competitive six holes of golf before A A ron and scott stole the gold cart and drove it back to camp. The course officials made clint go through a sort of waterboarding session before he was allowed to leave!
Hopefully the second round of floaters make it home safely soon too.
What a whirlwind week of bowmaking.
-
Like every year, by the end of the week your dirty, tired and ready to get home, but you already miss the mojam family before you even pull out of the park.
Kyle
Good summation of the "MoJam Experience."
-
Glad you guys made it home safe! Congratulations on the bow you made. Im glad that you survived the week without getting mauled by that raccoon. Turns out Clint and scott were feeding it the whole time! >:D
Erin, You are welcome back any time as long as ylu bring the weather.
Mike im glad your mother is okay. You were missed greatly this year. I didnt have coffee until the concession stand opened!
Kyle has it right...
Dirty, tired and missing everyone already. Cant wait til next year.
-
Bill, thats one of the funniest pics i've ever seen. Ya gotta keep your eye on the Outlaw. Cant wait to see more pics.. sounds like a great time
-
This first timer had a large time. Thanks to all that put it together. A lot of very good bowyers there. Enjoyed the flight shoot and the late night bowing, meeting some awesome folks , and late nite shooting. Arvin
-
welcome to the MoJam family Mr. and Mrs. Arvin... :)
-
A big Thanks to all the Marshall Bowhunters and everyone who worked to make this a great experience! I learned something new every day, got my hickory bow tillered with a decent tiller and shooting within my tolerance for draw weight! Had a real great time, and plan to bring the Little Fiddle Woman next year! She needs another TShirt!, and a self bow(she doesn't know that yet!). Thank to Paul for leading me in and letting me recharge at his place! And to all the guys to helped reset the one pole after the slight shower on Wed. Wally World luckily had some pool noodles which helped keep the rain away the rest of the week! The humuggity is a different program! And a special thanks to Kyle, Neil, Pau , Larry, and Clint for stocking up my wood supply, Bob Barnes and Badger for helping me with the Flemish twist! The flight shoot was an interesting experience, and a work in progress! I will critique it from my new guy perspective, and it was a unique event! Luckily, I can go out to the grasslands and shoot for distance! Hopefully everyone who was interested in the MOJAM Ale was able to get up the hill to get one! A certain Viking was so impressed with it's quality that it made him go to sleep! Right in the middle of a war story involving sleep! Have to plan a brew for next year! Congratulations to all those folks who got bows built and/or shooting! There were a lot of dedicated folks in the pavilion! Thanks for bringing all the tools, and other gear! I was one of the last to leave and the site actually looked like it was lonesome already! Thanks to all who helped me break camp! Made it to Junction City, KS before I decided to stop, took a detour through Lawrence to see some old haunts and got totally misplaced! Lost about an hour and a half trying to find Topeka! May we all be in the same place this time next year! An appropriate Irish toast is "Go marir is go gahir"! - "may you live long, and may you wear it out! Also, my Dutch oven stand followed somebody home, it's a simple x shaped rack that swivels to support the lid or a flat bottom D.O. If you got it, let me know by pm. Thanks, the whole week was a blast!

I'll second a big THANK YOU to the Marshall Bowhunters for making this event available to go to.Never a dull moment.Camping filled up a good 1/4 mile both sides of the lane.The new event of a flight shoot had dozens of shooters.Besides all the other events going on too a group of us still shot into the wee hours way past midnight playing money tic tac toe at the target range.
It was fun putting faces with forum names and meeting new people there.

There were feasts enjoyed throughout the week. Jon's fish fry (with lotsa help from many others) was staged early in week and seemingly enjoyed by one and all.
There are many traditions at MoJam. One of them is specific to the heat. Fire Dept provides refreshing dousing for all who wanna walk behind as it sprays tons of water. Loyd has a habit of joining kids in this fav event.
(https://i.imgur.com/v7p0J5a.jpg)
There's many informal promoters of MoJam. None outdo this fella. Dave's characteristic full beard is slowly reappearing . . . smile is ALWAYS there.
(https://i.imgur.com/VvPbtuG.jpg)
Didn't get many pics of the bow-making. But suffice it to say that pavilion is tangle of tables, tools, cauls, bodies, and sticks on their way to more exciting use.

This year one young'un came to MoJam carrying one of those wheelie bows. Chris decided that would not do and went to work. Kid was soon shootin' a proper weapon.

As an aside . . . I wish more of the PA community had opportunity to meet Ed. He's the real deal and one of the funniest fellas I've met.
And, of course, there's always the Clout Shoot.

To borrow phrase from Kyle, "By end of the week you're dirty, tired and ready to get home. But you already miss the MoJam Family before you even pull out of the park."
NEXT YEAR IS JUST 12 MONTHS AWAY!

Thanks for the pics Mikey.
-
Well after a full week of Mojam it feels good to be home. Thanks to the Marshall Bowhunters for putting on another fine gathering. Without you this would not be the same. New friendships were made and old ones strengthened. Really missed my friend Mike though. Thinking of next year already.
-
I'm not around much anymore but wanted to thank Bob Barnes for emailing me about the 20th Mojam anniversary. I made the first 10 and then sorta drifted away to pursue another interest I've always had. Figured I'd better do some of it done before it became too late. Dianne and I had a great time seeing some friendly old faces and meeting some of the new energetic guys that will carry on the tradition. Thanks to Marshall Bowhunters/ Keith,Jerry and Robin especially. To Dave and No Nose and the others for keeping the spirit alive and teaching the youngsters the craft. Was so good to see Bob, and Gifford, and Sal, and Rob and Scifres and Darren, and Loyd and Butch, and Brad and Shane, and Darryl and Timo and Lenny and Mudd and Paul and Jerry and Phil and No Nose and so many more. Met some new guys Dave and Patrick that seem to make some pretty nice bows and are willing to help others. Very Cool.
Missed seeing a few of the old timers too..some who are no longer with us. RIP Dean, DCM, and RC
Anyhow it was great, and Dianne and I hope to do it again. Maybe for the 25th? lol
See you in the woods,
the Ferret

Once again, I had a fantastic time spent with great people. Thank you to the Marshall bow hunters for putting this event on every year.
The flight shoot was a great success, with Steve, Ed, and Bob deserving special thanks for all the work they poured into it.
There are so many people I want to call out for making this year so special: Clint, Dave, Bill, Steve, Scott, Ed, Patrick, Neil, Sal, Chris, Bob, Arvin, Kyle, Wyatt, Jon, Coby, Paul, on and on and on.
We missed you Mike, wasn't the same without you.
-
What a week! Probably one of the best mojams yet for me. Thank you so much Marshall Bow Hunters for alowing us to have this gathering every year.
Im sitting at work right now on lunch trying to stay focused and not fall asleep. Just in case anyone was wondering, No Nose and I did finally get to bed around 3 am Sunday morning, nearly 48 hours straight of helping teach some very enthusiastic new bow makers. And I would for it all again if needed.
I would love to name names of all of the people that made my mojam special but I know I would miss someone. So Thank you to each and every person I talked to, helped, picked on, laughed with and learned from!
And Mike I sure did miss you buddy. It wasn't the same without you.
Favorite mojam moment? Well there is a bunch but I do have one.
A young man probably 8 or 10 years old came up to , call me by name, and asked me to help him. So I did I marked out a stiff spot on his bow. Then he walked back over to his bench and started working on it and then I seen who he was talking to it was his dad. His dad was telling him how to do something with the scraper. I realized that I had taught his dad how to build his first bow and now he was helping teach his son. A small tear came to my eyes. What a great feeling it was.
More later, back to work.

Mickey, thank you for coming to the 20th! The hkt dogs from hell were great! Im so glad that i got to meet you and john face to face. I always thought youd be taller. >:D just kidding. Hope to see you all again soon.
Ill post pictures after i get back hopefully. I took a lot!
-
I totally forgot about this event. I remembered Sunday morning and have been ticked at myself ever since. It's going to be a long 12 months until next year. Thanks to all who posted up the photos. Were there T shirts available? I'd love to get one if possible.
-
A point I'd like to make here to other clubs wanting more participation from their members [which I get letters in the mail about]to get their kids started shooting bows and arrows......Through the summers here in Iowa I go to many 3D shoots with friends.Not 1 club I've seen has seen the benefit of these types of bow making gartherings like Marshall puts on that benefits the kids' participation aspect of archery.Guess it's up to me and others to plant a seed here heh????
I'm glad Mo Jam has paved the way for clubs to possibly put on a flight shoot themselves.
Kuddos to the other state clubs that do this too having special events or contests promoting participation.Many of these games the big kids like to play too.
-
Forgot to add
If anyone has Butch Speer's email addy could you please PM it to me.
Thanks

-exactly right. My favorite 'moments' at MoJam are ones involving a father and his son or daughter creating a lifelong memory by shooting together or building a bow.
-
What a whirlwind week of bowmaking.
You said it
-
I totally forgot about this event.
Why fridge is littered with post-it notes and The Wife makes me review 'em weekly. ;)
-
Knoll - that's what we did till we got those erasable calendar things for the refrigerator door. See current month and next month. If it isn't on the calendar, it ain't happening.
Bob et al - thanks for posting the pictures. Last time I tried taking pictures, all I got was myownself, up close.
-
Good to see people are arriving back home safely. I thought this year was a great gathering. One of the best to date. Each person adds a special element but a few make it shine brighter with their hands on involvement at the pavilion. You know who you are and I am forever thankful to call you friends. Bob, enjoyed shooting with you Friday night/Saturday morning. I had forgotten the fun of shooting but now plan to shoot the 3D tournament next week with Davis and his new Chris Rackley special gift. Pat, i’m Gonna use the bow you gifted me. Should get the compound guys talking and pointing. Anyway, the company was good, the food was good and the weather was even nice most of the time. See you all next year if not sooner. keith

Well finally got home. I want to thank all of my/our MOJAM family for everything. I look forward each and every year to share my passion with others. Thank yall for being my friends. Nonose quote " I will sleep when I die."

Good to have seen you again nonose. Was nice to have your company on those pavilion nights while working on cranking out bows.
I will sleep when I die. Certainly the rallying cry for this years Mojam.

Congrats to Arvin for winning the self bow broadhead longest shot and to Ed for winning the composite bow longest shot. A few honorable mentions were Steve (badger), AAron and ScottS (Mr. 214). :) and I think Aaron got 215 yards with a hickory self bow. great job Arron. Hope I didn't miss anyone.
I learned a lot for that competition. I'm not much on the 3D shooting, but next year I just might have the self bow to beat.
Ed hope you listening :) :).

Thank you to all of you who helped put this shoot on. This was my first ever Mojam. I saw a lot of familiar faces and a lot of new ones. I was welcomed to the Mojam family like I had been going for years. I expected this trip to Mojam to be a one time deal. However it didn't take me long to start making plans for next year.
For all the talk about the heat I didn't think it was too bad. The monsoon golf adventure was something I'll never forget. I think someone said we got over 2" of rain in 30 minutes. It's the first time I've had to wade through 12" of water just to get my clubs out of the cart.
Thanks to all of you who shared some food. Neal put my leftover deer marinade on some wild turkey and wrapped it in bacon. That was about the best food I've ever tasted.
The flight shoot was interesting. It got my wheels turning. I think I have the room to do some testing at home. Here is Danznbar launching an arrow with Scott, Aaaaron, and Badger watching. Badger displayed why he earned that name. He ripped his arm open on a dry fire and was bleeding pretty good. He kept shooting and making it worse. He finally washed it off with gatorade and taped a score card over it so he could keep shooting. He is one tough dude.

Somehow it held together and he did pretty good with it. The shutter speed makes his bow look wonky.

Thank you to all of you who helped put this shoot on. This was my first ever Mojam. I saw a lot of familiar faces and a lot of new ones. I was welcomed to the Mojam family like I had been going for years. I expected this trip to Mojam to be a one time deal. However it didn't take me long to start making plans for next year. As a wise man once said, "I dun had a real good time"
For all the talk about the heat I didn't think it was too bad. The monsoon golf adventure was something I'll never forget. I think someone said we got over 2" of rain in 30 minutes. It's the first time I've had to wade through 12" of water just to get my clubs out of the cart.

We were slow getting up and out Sunday morning but were able to enjoy one more chat with Mickey and Diane over coffee at the hotel. Sorry we missed some of the folks departures.
Had a great time as always and, once we all got re-constructed after the tropical rainstorm Thursday morning, the weather was some of the best for a Mojam in a long time. I'm glad you guys took so many pictures, it helps to keep the memory of the good times fresh. Hanging out at the top of the hill with Lennie and Shannon has been out tradition for many years and when Bob, Rob, Dan, John and Larry all arrive the fun just keeps on funnin'... ;D This year we had the the added advantage of our old friend Sal coming out and we got to listen to the culinary and gormet exploits of Darren and John one evening whilst a couple bottles of mead "evaporated" amongst us.
A BIG THANK YOU to the guys, and gals, of the Marshall Bowhunters Club for their hard work keeping this going along. Keith, Jerry, Robin, Big Mike and all the others whose names escape me, keep up with the daily chores that need doin' all week(end) long. And another THANK YOU to the park and rec department head guy for allowing it all to happen. :OK
Can't wait till next year.

Made it home about 7:30 last evening, more than a wee bit tired and hungry! Ran through about 60 miles of rain, but nothing severe. Had a really great time at MOJAM and all ready plotting for next year. Now I get to unload everything and clutter up the garage! Hope to get to shoot the hickory bow this evening. Thanks again everyone, when you are in or near Loveland, drop a pm, and we can get together for some refreshments!

I would like to thank all of you for being so kind and welcoming to Cahl and me. I would love to go thru and name names but I'm so afraid that I would forget someone that was deserving of the recognition. So, I'll stick to generalizations. I hope you all know who you are. Thank you so much to all of you who helped me with my first bow. I can not wait to walk into Trad League this winter and start flinging arrows with it. I learned so much hanging out with you all (some bow related, some not ;) ) and you all have given me the confidence and knowledge to start my next one here at home flying solo.
Cahl had the time of his life getting to hang out with his new group of friends. He was already texting a few of them on the way home. We both agreed that we would not miss next year's MOJAM for anything. He was studying TBB on the ride home some more and was thinking up his "next bow idea". Thank you all for giving me the knowledge to help him here at home so he could go play and enjoy being a kid at the event. It means more that I can put into words. I had no idea that I would love the process of making a bow so much and find such a desire to make more and more. I'm hoping to get a chance to sit down and write more about it on my Chasing Heartwood site.
Thanks so much for all of the food and cold beverages, the laughs and the memories, and most of all filling that void we had where family should be. It's comforting to know that Cahl has some Aunts and Uncles out there that he can depend on. Family isn't always defined by blood alone but is defined more by what is in someone's heart. We met some of the biggest hearts over the last week. No matter how "rough and gruff" they may want to appear on the outside.
Thank you to all who had a hand in putting on the "reunion". Your efforts and dedication were appreciated so much. Thank you to all who sat up literally for days helping us newbies make our bows. Thanks to those of you who donated time and items for the auctions. Thank you for the kids trophies. Thank you for running some awesome activities.
Just plain THANK YOU....
I hope I haven't left anything out.
I have a few photos I will try to figure out how to upload here after a bit. I will also load them to Facebook. I didn't take as many as I thought I did. So I'm happy to see the others that people have posted. Maybe next year I can get John to come along with us if he can get the time off work. I'm already looking for a smaller trailer to haul down. I'll also spice up my string making skills so I can lend a hand and return the favor.
And I'll wrap it up by asking one simple question...
What are the dates for MOJAM next year?
-
I have to say we had a great time again this year ant MoJam. It was our second one to attend and most definitely will not be our last one. I know we are planning for next year at this time, and plan to bring our oldest Son along so he can build himself a bow.
P.s. how do you insert an image?
-
Cjkopec, very nicely written. The dates for next year are July 18-20. But the fitst people will begin arriving next week. 🤡

I really liked that lamp you donated to the auction.
I use imgur to host pictures and post on here.

I had a great time, it is always nice to meet folks you have known for years online but never talked to in person. I was really pleased with how many participated in the flight shoot. Everyone was a good sport. I had hoped to spend more time in the bow building area but I had a bad knee injury a few weeks before mojam and wasn't getting around very well. Looking forward to next year.
-
Coby, I'll be the first to say, you are very welcome!
When I see a passion in someones eyes like I do with new people building bows, I can't say no to helping them. I would stay up another 48 hours again if the need should be there.
Steve, it was good to meet you, I always like meeting PA members. Some of the best friends I have I met on PA.
Clint and Bill, I sure was glad to see you guys there! Hope to see you both back again next year.
Hawk, I'm glad you made it home safely bud! Maybe next year I can finish my drink and my story without falling asleep. :o Congrats on the bow, I didn't know it was your first one!
Tinker, good to see you on PA finally!
Erin, im glad you had such a good time, looking forward to seeing you again next year!
Keith, I'll be there Saturday, packing up now! -C-
Arvin, it was great meeting you again and sharing camp. You are now one of the group, you and Deb are stuck with us now!

I can see from the pictures there's still a whole lot of people I've got to get to meet yet at Mo Jam.Until next year then.....to get more of that done.
I did see some very nice bows made out of the pavillion by some new comers though done by Tinker and Li.Others too which I had'nt met yet.The fellas instructing in the pavillion did some great work.

Sure glad that Bob was taking so many pictures this year. :OK

Tinker is a beast. Almost made 3 shooters, 2 done, 1 almost ready for tiller. Li has amazing craftsmanship skills.

you can thank Mickey for most of the pictures...he sent them to me and I have been posting as I found time to save and resize them for the forum... his camera takes great pictures but they are over 3MB each....

I was explaining the shooting range to Jacie, and she asked me if anyone was shooting compounds, and if she could shoot her's, I told her a few kids were, but it was all self bows for adults. Told her she would get a lot of razing! She said, Well, you"ll have to make me a bow. I had to admit that that was part of the plan. Now to find a style to fit her size (4'8") and make legal draw weight (35#)! May have to put her to work!
Hawkdancer
-
sounds like a plan... yours sure turned out nice.
-here's another pic from Mickey... authentic bow making attire...
-
I never really thought about it before, but our main work area is kinda like MoJam...organized chaos...but man a lot of nice bows come out of there...
-
Kyle's flip flops really tie the whole outfit together. :OK
-
Bob - yep, it's a bit busy at times; the area between the pavilion and the vendor area also had at least a dozen bow benches and shaving horses. Most of which were busy a lot of the time...The 'chaos' is both challenging and addictive, spent a good bit time down there.
Dave (dvshunter) is a fine instructor as well as the fella with bird/coon dog that followed him everywhere. Sure wish I could recall his name or handle, any help fellas? Any way I sure enjoyed their mentoring on the heatgunning, form work on my reflex deflex bow staves I had.
I'd use a couple thumbs up emojicons if I could with the 'puter'
-
The guy with the dog is Jon. He goes by JonW on here.
The kilt seemed to work OK except for when Kyle hiked one leg up on the bow bench :o ;D

In some ways i was very happy with how everything turned out and in some ways I was disappointed with myself that I didn't keep up with the paperwork like I had planned. I was caught off guard by the number of participants. Over the course of this year with input from those who participated I hope to make next year even better. I have a feeling the competition next year is going to be scary tough! We will be ready!

I'm not disappointed at all... I got to shoot Joe Mattingly's 20 year old MoJam bow 186 yards...got 211 yards out of my old hunting BBO...saw nearly a dozen bows shoot over 200 yards...and saw the faces on many many people as they watched arrows fly the full length of the field... it was awesome.

Trying to be in 2 places at 1 time can get a person behind in 1 of the places.We did the best we could.Possibly a larger committee to get shooters ready for the line to shoot? or the committee shoot their bows first then attend to all the needs of the other shooters documenting their distances?I'm sure we'll fine tune the procedure better next time.
-
Im happy to help next year with the shoot.
-
At this time we are planning for next year. I should have more time to help out next year seeing how I plan on finishing up one bow. We are planning on bringing our oldest boy so he can build his first bow, with help from everyone. I hate to say it but he doesn't listen to me when I try to teach him how to do things......
On a different note..... Can we get someone to do a class on building arrows please. I finding in my research there is a lot to factor in to building them.
-
Already planned on asking you, to help out at the pavillon. kelby will do just fine.

My suggestion would be to fletch the loaner arrows distinctive as to weight/spine, and if necessary, prefix A or B for equally weighted arrows; I.e. 400 A, 400 B, and give us dummies a chance to find our arrows amongst the field. When all the arrows have the same fletching it is a bit difficult to find yours! I hope to have a good set of flight arrows matched to my bows and draw length for next year. I think bows should be weighed to the shooter's draw length, especially if he/she is shooting their own arrow, which must meet the minimum weight per pound of draw. So, if I draw a 45# bow 26", my arrows must weigh at least 450 grains, and draw 26" to the broad head. I would like to see a class strictly for hunting arrows. But it was a darned good show! I had a good time and will do it again next year! Hope this makes sense!

I have a few of you shooting that first bow you made. I'll try to get some loaded and posted here soon.
-
Hawk dancer I agree with you. I also think that as people make and design their on arrows there will be fewer loaners necessary. I don't like to build arrows. I would rather build bows. But a year into this flight shooting I am finding it necessary to built the flight arrows . the challenge to build a better fling arrow has made arrow building a bit more fun somehow. This will help in finding our arrows. It was easy to find the ones I built if I hit the landing pad. :-)! Arvin
-
The key for me with arrows is to always have plenty! Lol! I have 3 bows that all shoot the same arrows so I have 3 or 4 sets of arrows at one time. There is a lot that goes into making a good shooting arrow thats for sure.
Patrick
-
Yep, makin' arrows is a slow process. Now if I hit the target more often, maybe I wouldn't lose so many arrows shooting 3-D courses...
I've made some that should have flown just the way they were supposed to. Others, including the ones I got from "Red Buffalo" a few years back fly just right. Don't know if it's me or the arrows or the bow, but they fly right.

It's back to where it was after shooting. I don't know if it being in the ac has anything to do with that.

But then back to making bows.

Thanks for sharing all the pics Dave. I stole one for my FB page ;) Not that you would see it there. I'll get mine up in the next couple days. I'm getting ready for tomorrow's Antique Show now. Hoping to find a couple draw knives again.
Also, CONGRATS DAVE on your huge improvements on your time.

Thanks for the pictures Dave. I think I saw your pencil there somewhere.
Congratulations on the copperhead skin and bow Colby. Ain't that a great feeling shooting that first shot?
I'm gonna make it there some year. Probably have to be when I'm done farming though. Sure was great you taking we along with all your pictures Dave. Congratulations on your time. When you get my age there's not many things you can do faster a year later. Usually just glad to still be able to do it.

We will get you down here one year chris. Although the weather this year js going to be hard to replicate.

We can wrap you in an ice suit Pearl. There's plenty of free ice available at mojam. It will be like when they transport penguins ;D

Im hoping to be able to donate a bow/arrow/and knapped point with a bow case next year to the table. Need to get started already, thise can take awhile to get just right.

Chris it’s definitely worth it. This year the weather was wonderful. But you’ll be having such a great time you won’t even care about the temps.

Sweet tea? You are a regular cowgirl aint ya' Coby? :)
I will get down there one of these years. I promise.

It was good weather because us Michiganders came down this year 😜 lol

It was a great MOJam. Great pictures. Great memories. This was the 20th gathering. But next year is actually 20 years. Hang on to your hats. I have high hopes and great plans. Keith

Chris, you missed a great one for sure! You couldn't ask for better weather thats for sure!
Keith, I cant wait to see your big plans!
It was a great mojam! It will be hard to beat this one for sure!
Thanks for posting all of the great pictures! I barley got any myself.

Erin, coby and caul, you have to bring that westher every year now. Especialy if pearls is going to make it. You should bring ryan down to dont ch know.
I cant wait for next year Keith. Let me knownif i can help!

Other than that slight shower >:D on Wed, and much more humidity than I'm used to, good show! Saved by the free ice and a stockpile of Gatorade and MOJAM ale! Already planning on next year, and hopefully, Jacie can arrange her workload to come as well! A self bow for her is the next project, and she may have some jewelry and artwork for sale. It was great meeting people in the flesh! An Irish toast - "May we all here at the same time next year".

Yeah, that "slight shower" (and the accompanying light breeze ::)) Thursday morning was interesting... wish someone had gotten a picture of that but we were kinda busy hanging on to the various awnings in the "breeze".

Well we had a new ride at mojam this year. It was called "The Lorado Sidewinder"
Its kinda like when a camper decides to make a left turn without a truck attached to it.

Got snowed on in August over at Camp(Fort) Ripley many years ago, surprised the heck out of us Missouri boys! Been snowed on in The mountains a couple of times after I transplanted to Colorado - not surprised at all! Snow in Missouri in August would be a shock! But rain, that is another story! The cool spell was supposed to follow me down to Missouri, but it got diverted somewhere! It apparently hit 100 here on Tuesday! Only 90 at Marshall! >:D

I ended up with some ones piece of vice leather this year and forgot my bow scale there this year. That last ine might be worth the drive out for a day! Any one else forget anything.
Also forgot my deep fryer and tank to, luckily i have grest friends! ;)
-
May well have left 3 long steel stakes in the ground where the tent blew over at the top of the hill, and my Dutch oven lid stand/rack followed somebody else home after the potluck. The stakes might do serious damage to a mower blade, they are 20" long! As for the one pole, it suffered from fatal dog bites whilst I had it up for drying! Nothing important, I think the stakes cost more than the stand! Great show, and looking Forward to next year!

If its black leather that looks kinda like a holster it yours now. I have a ton of it.
Hawk, sorry about you dutch oven stand. Im sure the mowers found your stakes.
I lost a couple of things last year, but I guess someone needed them worse than I did.

Im positive my scale will be there for us to use next year. Mojam kinda helps me unclutter the house by storing certain things for me for a year. Pat the piece of keather i have is a large brown circle. Sof thick leather though. Im using it for my vice now since my other piece went missing. Definitly bringing more vice leather next year. Only about 48 or 49 weeks to go.
-
Dave, i owe you a new boiler since im pretty certain i largely contributed to it burning out.

Time flies when you're having fun! Looking forward to next year, as well! Thanks to all who posted pictures, to those who put on the events, and oversaw the whole shindig! Never expected my innocent question to expand to such a neat thread >:D :o!

Dont worry about it kevin. They are almost free at garage sales and goodwills. Im glad we all got to use it. Next year we should just use my propane fish fryer and a large pot. That should speed up the process.

A wallpaper steamer is easy to set up and use. We steamed several bows with it at Marshall.

I have one of those

Great news everyone. We have the first item for next years auction. One slightly used bow scale.

Also a small blue cooler with scrapers in it and a couple of clamps
