Looking to get a group of like minded folks together to make some bows, arrows and bounce ideas off of. Maybe do some shooting/hunting.
Come with whatever knowledge you have or don't have. Id love to learn what you know and willing to share what little I know.
I'm in Columbus/Grove City Ohio area and there seems to be a scarcity of bow makers around these parts.
I can drive OR offer my shop as a place to meet... and tools to use.
-
These informal gatherings can be great time! Wish western South Dakota wasn't so far away.
-
I agree. You can get to know some great people and learn a lot from them.
And a trip from the Dakotas would be slightly insane.
Thanks for the response. I hope it encourages some other folks.

I tried two bow bees early on. On the first one I had a couple of bow builders besides me and the rest newbies. The newbies would watch us work but even when offered a stave and some tools they backed off, saying "I might mess something up". I tried again with the same results.
A great bow maker and friend hosted one, he had a bunch rubberneckers but no workers, he was very disappointed as he but a lot not putting the event together.
-
I get it.
Seems no one is interested. Guess I'll be heading out of state for some bow making fun
-
I'm in S.E. Indiana.

Im up for a drive after the holidays. How far are you from Columbus Ohio?
-

Keep an eye on the "Shoots and Events" section. Beginning in late Jan and early Feb (sometimes sooner) things will begin to pop.
-
Osage outlaw... thats perfect. Let me know if you wanna meet up.
Knoll... Thanks. I found one in MI in late Jan. Im going to.
-
Send me a PM. We will try to pick a day after the holidays to meet up. Maybe we can get Danznbar to join us.

I'll be ready after the first of the year.

Hey Turtle, Interested in meeting up and sharing some of your knowledge?
Anyone going to the Kalamazoo MI shoot in January?
-
Yes. Not sure that I have much knowledge worth sharing, but like to meet other bow builders and work on bows and fling a few arrows.
-
i need to hang around this part of the board more often (A) i'm in north linden and i work by the airport if you ever want to hang out.

I have never made a selfbow yet, I did make a red oak board bow once and I've made several laminated fiberglass bows. I'm hoping to do a trilam later this spring....wouldn't mind getting together after it warms up lol.
