The annual bowjam near Viroqua, WI was this weekend and at least 20 new selfbows sprang into action. Lots of kids - serious future bowhunters - lots of good food and fellowship amoung the shavings. Great event again!!!!!
Shaun,
That's what it is all about... Great bunch of Bowyers in that pic's... It's great to see kids doing it, then on the streets doing Drugs or Crime
Good to hear you got the kids involved.After all,they`re the next generation of bow hunters. :campfire:
Great pic and it looks like it would have been fun to be there! Thanks for sharing.
Looks like a fine bunch, let's see some more pictures. :saywhat:

Cool Shaun....wish we had more selfbow chat on here.
Saw you guy's donation as well....cool!
Nice pics Joe. What a great time. I just love going to that. There are so many people that are willing to help you learn to make a bow. I went with my 2 nephews and while I was busy helping Vince rough out his bow, Spence and others were helping David tiller his. Thanks to all for the help and Brad deserves a special thank you for his efforts and hospitality. He basicly empties out his shop and sets everything up under the tent for all to use. What a fantastic event from one end to the other. You have selfbows, scenery, great people, great food, and lots of laughs. I'll be back next year.
Awesome weekend...
Looks like everybody had a good time and even managed to made some nice looing bows. Hopefully I will see you all at MoJam later this year.
Great pics. It was sure a fun weekend. Thanks a ton to Spence and Jon and anyone else who helped me finish my bow. Also thanks to Aaron and Danny for helping me with a few arrowheads. And a special thanks to my Uncle Greg for taking me and my brother! I will deffinetly be back next year.
