2006 MOJAM Hatchet Bow Challenge
« on: July 03, 2006, 09:35:00 AM »
Mike's said that there's been a few threads out there about the Hatchet Bow Challenge - but thought we should get the spirit going again.

MOJAM's coming soon - July 20th so only a couple of weeks left.  Need to get moving guys and gals!!! It's fun - it's challenging - and yes there is pride in creating that bow using only a hatchet - b50 - and beeswax.  A word to the wise for you that create your bow from white wood - the bees wax is a good thing (know that from past experience - lots of humitiy in Marshall).

There also seems to be the ever on-going challenge between the white wood and yellar wood bows - with the yellar wood holding a slim lead (yes that's another challenge).

So lets have some fun and get those hatchet bows built - you can even build them while at MOJAM - the contest is Saturday evening just before the potluck dinner.

I've heard of a couple bows being built - So lets get a sneak peak - take some pics and post them on this thread!!

Good Luck to all!!!!!  :archer:

I may be in the same boat as Calvin this year...  It's suddenly looking like I might not be able to make it this year due to having to work.  

And heck, I only live about an hour and a half away...

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Dave - You're looking a little feverish. Maybe too much work lately? You better take a day off.

Shaun - Tiller looks nice on that beauty! keep rubbing that wax in.  :thumbsup:

I'm thinkin Brad Merkle of Little Tree selfbows has a hatchet bow ready. You out there Brad? Do we have to wait for the big show to see it?

Must be some others too.

You know there's more than 15 minutes of fame at stake... the winner "gets to" run the contest next year! Which means you have an iron clad excuse, I mean reason, to attend the 2007 MOJAM.

Hey Brian,

You gonna try to go to mojam???

I talked to my boss the other night and there now appears to be a chance I can get Saturday off.  Of course, that will nock Sundays overtime down from double time to only time and a half....hmmmmmm, is it worth it?????  

MOJAM-------------^--------------Double time

I think the scale is gonna tip in favor of MOJAM!
