I wasn't sure how suttle I needed to make that hint Pat. HA! biscuits n gravy is a staple,,,,had it for dinner tonite in fact. If there is time for homemade biscuits then fine,,,if not fine too. I picked up sum pork ribs earlier that I plan on finding their way to the smoker that weekend. There are several local guys that say they will make it over also that weekend.

Here is something to think about fellas. The Buffalo Tongue Trad Shooters are a group of guys that have been getting together for bout 20yrs now I think on Sunday morning @ the archery range @ August Busch Conservation area and stump shoot. Might be a good way to spend a Sunday Morning, meet sum fellow trad shooters. It takes about 30min to get there from my place. Anyway no decisions need to be made now just throwing it out there.

That's good news, Jon.
That would be fun, Chris. Those fellas would never have seen so many quality selfbows!

I like the idea of doing the Buffalo Tongue shoot on Sunday.  I've never been there so I don't know much about it.  Is there a 3D course?  I can't shoot worth a spotted bean, ...but it's still fun to try some.

That's the group Eric. I shoot with them as much as I can. They are a good time and a great group of fellows. Mike bid one of the young ones there!. How just turned 77 last Monday!

 Also, I will be kids free the weekend of the get together, so that means ikl have three empty bedrooms. I live about 20 min east of Chris. A straight shot down hwy 70 if anyone wants or needs a place to stay.

I spoke with a friend last evening about coming up for the event.  He'd be totally new to bow building, but he's done some archery.  I built a couple bows for his sons last year, and he'd like to make one more man sized for himself.  He may bring a friend of his too and they'd be coming from Kansas City area.  They plan to get a hotel.

My brother Nathan is planning to join us this year and he has a couple bow building projects to work on.  Also, my son Wil maybe be able to join us, but he's not sure yet.

Additionally, I spoke with a friend that I met when I was doing some survival skills training.  He's made a few bows and would like to come up as well.

I've got some spare bow benches with vices.  I'll be sure to throw those on the trailer with my tools.

Chris, you may want to build a new bow shop wing onto the work shop before March 3rd.  :)

And you, Eric, may need to drive a bus!

If we get reeeeeeeeal lucky, Chris may have a commode installed in the shop. But don't hold your breath.    >:D

If I can,  I would take you up on that extra room. 

I got a lot going on right now and more to come in the near future.  I hope once it all slowes down I can have you guy's to my place for a gathering.
