Brats for lunch then I chased a ring on a red mullberry stave, never used it before but seems to be a lot like regular Mullberry, then on on the range.We left the course up so ones that didn't get a chance at the Classic to shoot could go through it. Great time and the course was beautiful.

Joe was shooting and Arvin Weaver bow, he stayed in the cabin with us at the Classic so Arvin gave him a bow, what a guy. Joe shot it well, smooth/quite and fast for the weight.

Doug shot a bow I gave him, so all self bows except 1 and we held our own.

Annie spent the time with us chasing squirrels and running ahead of us.

:)I was the only one that hit the iron deer, the others are 1 arrow short now.

I had a small splinter pop on one of my old Mullberry bows so done a sinew wrap, I think it will be fine , will see tomorrow. $:-\$ Then venison steak for supper and a good nigh's sleep.

Good time for sure. Hope yall had a good one also. Life is Good.

Looks like a great time, Pappy. I never realized there were so many mountain goats in Tennessee.

Ya we have a lot of them here WB.

Had a great weekend, I went down Thursday to start getting the targets in from the Classic and some more clean up pick up, also had a couple of shop projects I wanted to work on, managed to get most of it done. Got my last bunch of turkey feather back, I traded with a guy on half's, I got the lefts and he got the rights, 700 in this bunch and 850 in the first bunch all full length ,so I am flush with Turkey feathers probable for the rest of my life. $:-\$ I also got the shadow box done with the points from the toilet bowl knap off this year and another file knife in the works.

Took some pictures of the spirit station they painted up this year at the Classic, wished I had gotten them sooner before they faded a bit, still pretty cool.

Got my Mullberry on and off the form, a little more tweaking but it is about ready to tiller.

Then to range clean up Friday. I think we had close to 150 targets out so it takes a while to pull, we also done some work on the sheds to get a little better organized .

Got the tapper done on my blade and the final tweaking on the Mullberry.Just need a little tip alignment. :)The blade is ready to heat treat and temper, I sometimes use a chimney putty to coat the top portion of the blade to leave a hamon line on the blade, usually works pretty good.
