SGTP: Shoot April 8 (this Saturday)

Ya'll come on down. Saturday, April 8.
We will get started by 8 am, and shoot all day if you want.

Demostration by Dan Spier on how to heat treat a selfbow.
"Hey, guys at this month's shoot, I will be demonstrating how to heat treat your selfbow. The topics covered will be: how to take bends and twists out of your bow, how to put reflex and recurve into your bow, and how to make a snaky bow out of a straight bow. I will use forms, clamps, and a heat gun to show you how to do this. Should be fun. See you there.
Dan Spier"

For the sake of the person doing all drawin' and scratchin' on them afore mentioned sticks, by "fresh" I'm hoping you really meant dried and seasoned.

Was a good day at the Poole Plantation.
Dan Spier put on an excellent how to demonstration, and as an added bonus, Lowell showed his bow making skills.

Missed you yesterday, Donnie. Too bad you had to work. We had a good time in spite of it though.

Shucks! I hate I missed it!
