OK Pat and thanks. Good to here from you Brian, hope you can make it back some day.  ;) Yes Ed we are Blessed with a lot of big targets and go all out on this event on setting the range, I think last count Saturday we had around 130 targets in the woods, there is 1 main target at most of the stations [42] to shoot , the rest are just for looks although they do get shot at. ??? ;) :) :) I had a great 3 days and got a few things done in the shop, also had a great working Saturday and most everyone was there. I think we are about ready, just a few more little things left on my list and can call it ready !!!! Hope we have good weather but as prepared as we can be in case we don't.  :) Here are a few pictures. :) Shawn and Joe came by Friday to work on some Osage and I got my Osage ready to brace, also a small piece glued on the handle, Never know but I think this is going to work out, we will see when I get time to get back on it. ;)

Jon and his daughters came down Friday , the girls cleaned the cabin for me, it was in need that's for sure, thanks girls. :) Beau came out and we went in the last bottom across the creek where the Pre 1840 folks camp and set up our new white wall, it was pretty easy to set with just us 2 and i think will make a great Base camp when we go out west, it is a Davis tent out of Colorado   14x16 so plenty of room as the grand kids get older. :)

I put a deer leg bone handle on a flint blade and also got another blade ready to heat treat and temper. Then Saturday the work really started. We have a great bunch of guys who have done this for many years, we just break up in crews and go at it, it is amazing how much can get done when you all pull together.

We got all the mulching done on the drives and vendor areas , all the flags and other stuff up around the cabin and the ranges set and still took time to shoot a little and set around the fire.  ;) Got to take the time to fit that stuff in. ;) :) :)

Well 1 more Classic in the books, :) had 757 register and lots of others came just to visit and see all the fun. Great weather and done well for the Club, see a lot of old friends and seems everyone had a great time. I am tired but well worth the effort. Here are a few pictures. I stayed down for 14 days and got a knife finished in between getting things ready,I wound up putting this one in the raffle along with another big knife, nice and peaceful early the week before but that didn't last long. ;) :)

Some of mine and Will's bows. My good friends son killed his first turkey the Saturday before the Classic, nice bird. The  folks started rolling in, Out back Bob was one of the first. Great seeing him again, such a great guy and good friend. :)
