Great day with the kids(and adults) at Marshall today.
The kids were flinging arrows almost non-stop on the range today.

One very tired ELB shooter.
John had been doing shooting demos all morning with his 125@28 English war bow.
(http://i.imgur.com/dCDdY3i.jpg)
I just noticed that in this picture you can see John's war bow along with his arrows leaning against the tree to his left.(looks like a yew pole next to his quiver full of 32" 1750 grained white fletched logs he shot)
God bless,Mudd

Hey brother Mudd, looks like a great time! I loved the pics. What bow did you shoot ... you beautiful Sage?
Next year I might be able to make it to Mo Bo Jam ... How cool would that be?
Bob.
-
Bob thank you for the kind words!
I think it would be awesome if you could make it to next years gathering.
No the "Slim Girl"(Sage) stayed at home out of the heat.
I packed my old bamboo backed Osage "Sunshine" for the clout shoot. I also took "John Jr"(yew warbow 97@28) off the wall for an outing.
My goal for this years MoBoJam was to shoot as many different bows as I could. I lost track of the actual number that turned out to be but man was it ever fun...lol
I enjoyed watching my good friend Cliff Wilson work on building his 1st selfbow under the guiding hands and watchful eyes of our own knowledgeable DVSHunter.
I am so excited to see Cliff get infected with a truer sense of "traditional archery", I just wish he hag come around to his new found love of sticks and strings while he was still living close to me...lol
God bless,Mudd

Here is a photo worth sharing.
It's one of my very hot and tired friend John.
John builds and shoots true English longbows (war bows).
Some of John's training was with the Queen's personal bowyers in England.
John gives of his time and skills readily at many gatherings every year(not counting all of the other presentations he does like in schools)
If you look behind John and to his left you can see that yew pole/post(bow) along with a quiver full of 32" white fletched logs that weigh in at 1750 gr each that he had been flinging all day.
It's no wonder the man needed a nap.....lol

Paul you owe me no apology for doing "the right thing" by caring for your family.
I was and still am sorry that your poor wife had to go through being sick.
I hope and pray that she is fully recovered.
The heat and humidity can be very hard on a body...anybody, that is well illustrated in the photo of John.
The man(John) was worn down from all of the demos of how the heavy weight artillery bows(war bows) were shot that he so graciously did for us.
Thank you for the kind words!
God bless,Mudd
-
Thanks Mudd,
We got her electrolytes balanced and she recovered and bounced back after some rest.
John's warbows are really something to see and shoot. That's a great picture of him! :thumbsup:

Thanks for your pictures Bob.
They certainly depict what the "MoBoJam" was intended to be from the beginning.
I was so excited to see them for their content and I assumed that it meant you found your camera/Ipad or both.
God bless,Mudd
PS: I have another story to tell but I want to video something for the telling. I am waiting until it cools off a bit so I'm not having to sweat through it. (No it doesn't involve a loin cloth)...lol
-
Wher does this take place & is it a yearly gather'n ??
-
mid July every year...this was number 15... always in Marshall. Mo. Google the history...kinda started as an white wood/ yellow wood war but all in the science of making the best wood bow! lots of fun and even more friends!
Mudd...hope that sliver bow will work for you... :) it is amazing how so little wood can make such a heavy bow...
Bob
-
Bob I can not thank you enough for this bow.
I want to make a video of it being shot at around 30 yards.
It has done more than fulfill the desire I had for an elb style bow in a weight range I can shoot a lot.
I allowed it to take me into "Sherwood" today until I was sweating so much I couldn't see.
Thank you again for all that you do, not just for me but the entire traditional archery community at large.
God bless,Mudd
PS: Keep your eyes open,maybe we'll get some heat relief soon.
-
Nice pics, Bob. I enjoyed talking to you Mudd.
-
It was great to spend another long, (but not long enough...) weekend at Mojam.
Hard to believe that there have been 15 of these so far and that folks, new and returning, take the time to come out and brave the heat and humidity each summer to build bows, shoot bows and just hang out and visit with like minded folks.. :wavey:
-
I concur Paul, regardless of the weather MoJAM is the place to be.
Seeing old friends is a highlight for me. I recall the early years, I worked much and visited little, now I visit much and work little.
I'd list off all the great folks but since I'd forget some, suffice it to say, best folks ever.
The Marshall Bow Hunters are great hosts and every year hit the mark for hard work and cheerful dispositions no matter what the weather throws at them. My hat is off to them, one and all.
Our camp, John and Sal, Bob at work, Caveman IL thanks guys, Next year, same time, same place, Good Lord Willing.
-
I had a blast as well. Ill. Try and get some pics up soon. I do t know how but I took like 60! I'm already planning on next years trip. My boys want to come earlier too.

I had a great time there this year my self. This was my second year in a row and hope to make it next year.
With that war bow mudd forgot to mention that is his light one for all day shooting.
Also this year there were a lot of hackberry bows present it seemed heck two were auctioned off.
Hope to see yall next year.
Oh and remember if you go dont have too much apple pie or peach for that matter.

Yep, definatly don't eat the peaches... :eek:
Thanks for posting the photos, a good time was had by all.
