[Hatrick]

Alan and Dave, I'll be getting to B-more Thursday morning and setting up my pop-up camper next to Ed Long (Plumber) on the hill to the left as you come into the main camping area. If you get a chance, stop on by.

Burt, one of the great things about DJ is how he keeps in contact. Just an outstanding gentlemen to work with and I'm sure you'll love the finished product.

[David Mitchell]

Hatrick, I'll already be there, Lord's willing.  My wife and I are pulling out in the morning.  We'll be in a Flagstaff pop-up and driving a black Nissan Frontier extended cab pickup with topper.  Look forward to meeting you. But I'm going to feel left out if you and Alanboth have Dave Johnson bows!  

[AlanF]

Well my beautiful bow was at the house when I got home this afternoon.  Been busy packing for Baltimore (leaving tomorrow following work) so have not even strung the bow much less taken any pictures.  Hopefully I will get it set up this weekend in Baltimore and get some good pictures.  Man I love the walnut and cedar together set off by the white glass...

[David Mitchell]

Alan, another beautiful Dave Johnson bow! It was so good to finally meet you in person after a few years of PMs and e-mail!  That little gal of yours is a real sweetie.  Clara stole the hearts of everyone who met her at Baltimore.

Hatrick, good to meet you in person as well!  

[AlanF]

Clara had about as much fun as a kid could have inspite of her algeries kicking in.  We sure enjoyed meeting several of the great folks here on TradGang and visiting with several of the bowyers.  Alot of great advice and friendship shared.

Baltimore was a great time.

[Goshawkin]

Alan, There's another one of Dave's bows heading to Connecticut.Should be here in a week or so. I wanted a little heavier than Dave will build now,so I had to go the used route.I'll post a couple pics of it here when it arrives,if that's ok with you.

[AlanF]

Sounds great.  I'll get some pics posted of mine here in the next couple of days.  

Where do you live here in CT?  I'm stationed at the Sub Base in Groton.

[Goshawkin]

Ok,I'm hoping to have it soon. That riser on yours has to look great with finish on it.
I'm down in the valley,Seymour. My daughter went to Avery point for 2 years,so I've been to Groton quite a few times.

[Hatrick]

Alan and David, great to meet you guys at Baltimore. I hope you two can make it again next year. I think it's one of the best shoots around.

David, you were looking awful close at those DJ bows. Maybe one in the future for you?

[David Mitchell]

:D  Who knows????  Just would like to get my hands on a lefty to see how they shoot.  We are SO discriminated against.    I could try Bud B's DJ if I could ever get to a shoot he is attending.

[Bud B.]

Come down to Sissipahaw in August.  

[AlanF]

[Bud B.]

Classic and full of elegance!!

 

[Brianlocal3]

Just thought of something...., you really need to take a pic of you shooting that bow in white pants, and white button up from a kneeling shot, but kneel in the towel......... Classic Howard there.  Seriously you need to be wearing a Sunday hat and a bow tie while holding something that classy
