Ian The L.T.B. has a primitive weekend of bow making and other intresting activities including a shoot.A few of the members stay longer to help out the Boy Scouts work on their merit badges.It is held at Mountain Bayou Scout camp near Ville Platte.The dates are on the L.T. B website.Check it out.Kip
Sorry it is held the middle of June.Kip
kip, do you know if we have to provide our own supplies for bowmaking?
I am pretty sure everyone brings their on supplies and everyone chips in to help anyone that needs help.Some of the gear could be shared if you don't have a tree or bench.Did you check out the web site.Kip
I have a bow horse we just need staves
Same problem I've run into Ian. Unfortunately I haven't come across any osage in the swamps around here. I was going to order one from someone and plan on attending the LTB Primitive event for help getting started.
I have a stave, but my dad needs one, I never completed the stave because I needed help, now I've got some coming in june, I also might go learn how to build glass bows with Brent Rudolf this summer also if my dad says yes
