I recall someone had asked to have some pictures from the Long Hammock shoots.Let me know if you have trouble accessing the pictures and which one(s) you want if the site won't let you download them. Link to the pictures is below:
As always, I had fun at Long Hammock, even if I can't ever get used to *not* having either a series of whistles or beeps to let me know when to step up to the line, start shooting, stop shooting, and retrieve my arrows... or a reminder of whether the AB or the CD line is up!

Thanks for putting the link to the pictures up Helen. Having met many of you at the TBOF shoot it is nice to see your faces again. I was the guy with the robinhood hat with Dale and Sandie. Dale has been telling me about these shoots so I know they are a great get together. Looks like no one went away hungy again. From what I hear the food is the main event or at least a close second. The bow Robert has is real sharp, I assume it is one his own make.

Helen and I remember you and the hat! We do eat well at LongHammock, we are a diverse group of archers who just like to shoot arrows and shoot the bull too! no score cards, no rules, no problems..We will take a few more pics all summer for this site and also for the one Liz started on facebook. The bow I was shooting was the one I made a week before the spring TBOF shoot. it's a slightly modified 58" binghams design recurve.. macassar ebony veneers over red elm tapers, honduran rosewood "power lam", Kodiak colored Dymalux riser,red and black phenolic/glass tip overlays.. 52# @ 28"..I just bought a bunch of curly Bubinga veneer in my shop, come down next spring to TBOF again and you can see some of it under clear glass..

Yeah, that shot of the arrow coming off the bow is real cool. perfect timing. That is anice looking bow and just the right weight and length. If I make it down next year I sure would like to give it a go. I have yet to make a one piece recurve and although I prefer takedowns for traveling a 58" could find a spot on my bow rack. Keep the pictures coming. Always nice to see you folks again.

My pleasure! I always enjoy playing with the camera when I'm not focused on stance, set-up, back-tension, release, and follow-through
I have to admit, traditional archers tend to be very difficult to photograph because they usually move so quickly. Then again, traditional archers and their bows are also a lot more photogenic than most other archers.
In any event, hope to see you again soon Greg!
