bow/arrow/whatever gathering - Jan 16-17 - Wright City, MO
« on: December 22, 2015, 11:37:17 am »
My friend, Chris Rackley, has offered up his barn for a conclave! Similar to events Eric (OneBowonder) hosted in the fall. An opportunity to work on your projects with lotsa fellowship/advice/encouragement available.

Chris' pole barn is a big one and he  promises to clean it up well, so there will be lotsa room for us. He has ample-sized stove in the barn, so we'll be toasty warm.

Chris' address is:
1300 Bell Rd
Wright City, MO
He's out in the country, but just several miles north of I70. Use exit #199. Go north off exit ramp to stop sign. West at stop sign to Bell Rd. North on Bell Rd. Easy-peazy.

Eats provided. Ya'll will be responsible for the libations!

Let those similarly inclined know what's planned.

Chris has a big ole Airstream (with heat) he's offered as accomodation. We can clear space in the barn for cots and sleeping pads. I have 2 spare bedrooms & live about 8 miles from Chris. So we have lotsa room for overnighters!

Mark your calendar and let me know if you're coming.

I'll definitely be there for this good old time! John, Eric, and myself will be coming up on Friday night! I hope some of those "libations" will be available when we get there! I wouldn't miss it for the world!

I'm pretty sure Missouri has an "Open Container Law", ...so most of the gallon should make it to Wright City.

Heh, all . . . . . One of Chris' wooded areas includes a target range and he's finding good bunch of rabbits have taken up residence too. So ya may want to bring some shooting gear.
Given all the rain we got, likely better bring pair of galoshes too.   ???

Oh I'm in for a bunny hunt! I love me some rabbits! I'm definitely going to try to do a little bit of that! Not quite sure what I'm bringing just yet. I have plenty to choose from. And a couple of kids bows that need some work. I plan on bringing my r/d caul with me.  If things go well I might heat treat one to leave with Dave.

Does Chris have enough heat, I checked the extended forecast. Looks to be pretty chilly. I can bring a dual head propane heater if needed.
