5th Annual Moon Tree Gathering
« on: December 16, 2016, 01:15:35 am »
With the weather about to plummet to winter tempts, there's no better time to be thinking about spring.  This year's Moon Tree Gathering will be the first weekend of Spring, March 24, 25 and 26.

Location:
Moon Tree Farm
565 Stoney Run Rd
Richmond, KY 40475
Cell phone 859-582-2306

This is small gathering of a great bunch of great characters who keep coming back each year for some reason???
 
Activities include:
Bow building and related fun stuff in a heated workshop
A 12 stage 3D range.
Potluck meals.
Camping around the yard with electrical hookup via drop cords from the house.
Champion story tellers spinning yarns of days afield.
Flint knapping, although the way I do it is more like stone napping. haha
As with most of the Moon Tree Gatherings we take a couple hours away from the shop for a bonus event for your enjoyment.  This year we're doing The Rifleman's Challenge, which will be a total of 10 shoots fired at distances of 40, 60, 80 and 100 yards.  Any caliber rifle welcome.  One could use a bow if they wish.  Ask Danzn Bar about shooting a pop-up Zombie with his bow on the pistol shoot a few years ago.

I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

I can't wait Dave.  This is always such a fun gathering of friends.  I can bring deer steaks for dinner one night.  Or lunch  ;D   if I bring my camper could somebody with a 4WD pull it around back?   How close could I get it to an electric outlet?

Clint, deer steaks are always welcome at Moon Tree.  I'm sure the Tacoma can pull your trailer.  We should be able to get you within the reach of 50 drop cord.

You will have a good time Joe.  It's friendly and laid back kind of like the September shoot at Scottsburg just fewer people.

Nothing much stresses us around here.  Although, Clint and Greg stressed my wife once.  haha

Daniel, the aero targets sound fun. I will TRY to mow the hillside field below the dog kennel, so we might be able to recover our arrows.
