I always have thought it would be fun to have a weekend out of the year where we can have a group get together at a campground and carve up some bows, kick around a campfire, do some shooting...
You know just hang out and enjoy our fellow tradgangers in person. I think we need to start something if we don't have it already!
The Missouri Ozarks Selfbow Jamboree is the best gathering for selfbowyers in the area. aka MOJam.
I host a bow hunt in Southern Indiana where we oftentimes whittle on some bows.

I have also hosted a couple Bow Bees in the area over the years. You should try to get one started if you have a place and time in mind. March and April are good times to do it IMO.
