  • If the wood will bend, I'll make it beautiful!
Not sure if I could make it Bob.  But it sounds like a fun time! Its a little over 3 hours for me.  Post pictures though!

Yeah Dave,  you be safe my friend!

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

I wish that I could make it too... I was so stoked and would have camped there a few days with friends, but I was informed that I would be 2  hours west of here at my grand-daughters 5th birthday party... :(  I will go visit everyone on Friday and help setup, and may try to go back on Sunday for the awards and fun shoot. ... but next year it's on my calendar already!   :OK

yes, you would really enjoy this shoot.  The local club has a great bunch of people in it.  The new facilities also has several nice full access RV camps and a big air conditioned building if you need to cool down and visit in comfort.

The shoot will be awesome and so will the weather! Everyone will have a great time. Here is the link (I hope) to the Traditional Bowhunters of Arkansas Facebook page and the flyer should show up there... it is our 20th year and fashioned after the Texas Longbow shoot... thanks!
