Left pic is Dano, Dwayne Arthur, Josh Arthur, Dennis  Right Pic is the same only different :)


My boy had a great time.  We finished a bow for him and had a blast "carving stuff with sticks" as James put it.  Right pic is Dave Osborne, ?, Doyle ?, Chris (I think), Steve Harville, ?.


Left is a bunch of crazy bow guys.  Right is our bag target.  Stuffed lion.  James aced him with his new bow.


Left pic is Jim ? working on a hickory flatbow (his first I think), Joe Doyle working on a hick or boo backed ipe.  Right is Steve Harville and Josh Arthur working on his and his dad's first bow.


Jim again.,  I got some complaints about how much wood I left with the bandsaw.  I couldn't make it too easy now could I?


Left is the fish fry feed.  Right is John Osborne and James crashed afterwards. John is James' new best friend.


Dennis and Jim.  Jim was bemoaning how some folks whine about cold temps.  Of course, he's the closest to the fire!
Overall, a tremendous day.  We had a great time and met lots of good folks.  I plan to join the club.  It is a really nice place.  We will definitely do this again.
There were a few people I missed pics of including Flatstick and his daughter who is a really fine bowyer already.  Also Chris Smith and his wife and a couple of his kids.  There are some fantastic bowyers around.  I'll tell you, it humbles a guy sometimes.
Thanks Joe and the rest of the Morgantown Conservation Club guys!  See you soon.
