The Alabama Society of Traditional Bowmen (ASTB) is auctioning off two spots for a January, 2027 Alabama Bowhunt for deer with Jason Samkowiak and Steve Turay. All proceeds go to Children's of Alabama Hospitals. Details are; 1. Three day hunt with meals and lodging. 4th night lodging is fine if it helps travel. Flexible dates but dog tracking stats say the best time is Martin Luther King. The hunt will be in Montgomery County, Alabama on 650 acres. 3. There will be two winners on the hunt. 4. Bidders are only bidding on one hunt. Highest bidder has the option to take both spots for twice the bid. Otherwise the second spot goes to the second highest bidder. 5. Online bidders will submit their highest bid amount but will get the hunt for no more than $50 higher than second highest bid. 6. All online bidders will be informed of the results after live auction on April 11. 7. Submit your bid and/or questions to Norman Parks by text or email (334)-462-9346, normaneparks@gmail.com

I really wanted to make it to OJAM but couldnt swing it.
Glad you had a great time!

Let it harden then chip it out with a small knife point. It breaks up once it is hard.

I have some interest in this.  I dont have enough bows under my belt to see what happened, but i laid up 2 bows one was meant to be 40 and the other 45.  When i glued up i was using bocote veneer in the 40lb stack and tineo veneer in the 45.  I had to swap which bow was going to end up being the 40lber because the tineo came in at 44 ish, veneer were similar thickness near .020 and the stacks were correctly glued up for the proper poundage.  So now i have a 40lb bocote finished at 45 and the tineo i took down until it hit 40.  I must have done something else because i cant see a bocote veneer at .020 being that much stiffer than a tineo veneer.

Attaboy Terry!
Glad you are back st it.

Hope you can make it Southpaw. Come by my booth and say hello.

Last year was our first Traditional shoot in a number of years. Had a great time. Heard a lot of good comments. Had a decent turn out for not having it for quite a while. Most of the people I talked to said " we'll be back next year ", which was great. It'll be here before you know it. I will be set with my leather items. A couple other guys said they will be back selling bows and such, some new some used. Still open to hear from any vendors interested. No set up fee.
