Several of us here on the bench from IN, I live about 50 miles north of Evansville. Where exactly are you located in IN?

I'm in S.E. IN.

  It looks like you will be close to Cloverdale.  You should try to go next year.  I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Im about an hour north of Indy. Close to Kokomo. I would sure travel though to mess around with some bow making stuff though.

I would be happy to have you over if you are pondering wooden selfbows.  There are a couple other tradganger selfbowyers up your way that come down to South Indy and hang out sometimes.  Billy Kellums ("Billy") is in Kokomo and Bona Glass ("b.glass") is somewhere right around there too.

Come on down and whittle sometime this winter.  I generally don't start making bows until after the New Year.
Take a kid hunting!

Selfbows is what I'm truly interested in making right now. That would be great.

I would come down just to make a bow building trip if I was ever invited. Would be worth the drive for me. Thanks

Aznboi, I live about 40 minutes north of you in Petersburg We'll have to get together sometime.
 
 Nosights if you want to drive down here for a day or two in the bow shop after the holidays I'm here bud.

 You should keep an eye out for the dates of the TN classic this spring. Lots of bow building going on there.
