And then the tillering. Oh what fun. Ted had some super techniques for tillering. My bows will be better from now on-- we used a measuring tape and everything!

Alright let's see these sticks shoot . . .

Steve finished his first, there was no doubt he was the brains of the group.

Andrew was next, notice the arrow.

And here's mine. 71" of pure power, really. For some reason everyone ran and hid when I drew my bow.

For some reason I don't have a pic of Pauls first shot. You'll have to take my word for it. It shot and shot well.

And to cap it all off Steve shot a bear with the bow he had just built. That's cool!

We left with a many great memories and for me sleepless nights-- did I mention the trio of snorers. When your fellow campers hand out ear plugs you know you are in trouble.

Well that's my version of the trip, and I'm sticking to it.
