That appears to be enough for a small army to me :D.

We had a small army last year,don't really know how many more we can handle.We are adding
a 18x20 shed this year and a bigger tent so maybe it won't be as crowded.I think
we had 39 register for the selfbow challenge last year with somewhere around 30 finished
to shoot the course with.So to say the least we are busy.Gary Davis helps out a lot along with anyone else that we can con into it.Several of The PA guys helped and gave some advice to the
beginners last year and that helped a lot also ,we really appresheated  it.Especialy GregB and Big A
they get hung with a lot of it ,I seem to get called away a lot trying to keep the rest of the shoot going on ,it seems like it is always something. :)

I probably won't get in the selfbow challenge, would rather spend time getting to now folks
but I can help out, don't know if my advice is worth anything but I can at least run twinkies to Greg ;D
Gotta keep his strength up ;)

even though greg looked bored on all those pics from the 10th classic  ;D , i think the night i arrived was the only time i saw him relaxe.  rarely have i seen a man helping out so many at the same time.  it would start the moment he arrived in the morning and didn't stop till late at night.  every day.  greg, you're a good man, but your patience is above human.

If a guy signed up for the shoot just so he could scrape out a bow and get some tips and knowledge from some much more experienced people than himself, but didnt participate in the shoot would that be okay? im coming for the fun, to meet a bunch of good folks, to do some bow and knapping learnin and to help out in any way i can. im pretty good at lugging stuff, i finally figured out how to sharpen a scraper and i can play a mean clawhammer banjo.

You don't have to sign up for anything, these guys will tell you anything you want to know.  I think Greg and I helped 15 kids (in one day) build their first bow last year and I don't know if any of them shot the course. Greg taught me a lot and I didn't sign up.  ::)
I'm going to miss hanging with you Greg.   :'( Justin

Yeah you just need to let Pappy or one of the guys know you are coming and if you need a stave.  There is a small charge for a stave.  Send Pappy a PM he will set you straight on what you need.  Plus it really helps the Twin Oaks guys to get a head count so that they can be pepared for the crowd.
In fact, I would ask that all planning on attending give them a heads up.  Maybe they can shout out who wants to keep the count, Pappy, Knothead, GregB or someone else...then they can start taking in the numbers.  Time is creeping ever so much faster!  Wait til you guys see DustyBaer's article that is in this issue coming out...ooops did I just type that outloud?  >:D
 ;D

Pappy, count me in for helping out! I am very willing to help out. Especially since I will be there so early! Also, willing to help teach the little I know about bow building too.  If I dont know something I can always pass it on to one of you more knowlegable sorts! Lets try to give Pappy a chance to enjoy the Classic!

Pappy, do you go by Greg or Pappy?

Great holy molly this is  going to be a hoot!  ;D
