Title: Calling out all missouri bowyers and other nearby.
Post by: DVSHUNTER on May 08, 2016, 03:23:00 PM
MOJAM is coming up. It would be pretty great to see some of the faces that were there when I started going to this event. That means that many if you who are in the fence about going need to just do it! Yes, I know, it's hot. I spray you with a hose if needed. It would be pretty cool to see a lot of building like before. Are you a troop leader for boy scouts? Bring em. Got a friend that wants to make a bow, maybe an interested neighbor...bring em.that annoying brother in law... leave em at home and spend the week with friends in the Missouri heat. MOJAM needs the boost again. There are two great 3d courses to shoot and guess what... they are free. So is camping and instructions. Eve dinner Sat evening is. Plus the food that the great people from marshal serve is cheap and delicious. So step up your game, quit with the excuses and see you there.

I'm glad I can count on you guys. Hopefully we can get some new guys and make this thing big again. How cool would it be to get some of the original guys there again.

You really should visit John. A year hasn't gone by when folks don't mention your name and wonder when you'll pay a visit.
Title: Re: Calling out all missouri bowyers and other nearby.
Post by: DVSHUNTER on May 11, 2016, 06:51:00 AM
I agree John. I'd love to meet you face to face. That also might be the kick start that brings back a bunch more that have been missing for too long.

Where in Missouri is this happening? My wife and I could probably make it up there if I could coordinate it with a canoe trip on the current river.

Ah Marshall in July...the sites, the sounds, the smells.  My 15 year old daughter even said she wants to go.  She's my only kid who hasn't been there.

I'm thinking about it  :)

Is anybody making the kid's rattan bows?

John, they haven't done the rattan bows at Mojam for a few years now.    :(
Ojam seems to have taken up the rattan bow program as they had quite an assembly line going down there this year.

John, believe it or not, it was cool in the morning, several folks camping commented "Dang, should brought a blanket".

How does 65 degrees in the morning sound, eh? Warm during the day but not the usual MoJAM weather by a long shot. Quite pleasant overall.

This week weather is more typical MoJAM weather. HOT.

It is a trite expression but is true non the less, A Good Time Was Had By All.
