Thanks
I have some friends whom are interested in traditional archery.  I would like to invite them to join us.
One is a youth minister about 40 miles from where I live.  I think he wants to get more involved and if he does there will be a lot of kids who have a chance  to experience it as well.

Hey folks,
This will be my first chance to get to go to OJAM.  I've been wanting to for a few years but timing hasn't worked out yet.  I'll be bringing my 7 year old daughter (she'll turn 8 while we're there).  Not having been before, I have a few logistics type questions.  First, do we need to register/sign up/anything of that sort, or just show up?  Planning on camping with the tent, so I figure that space won't be too hard to find.  Also, will there be much that a youngun would be able to take part in?  She's interested in archery.  Loves to help me fletch arrows and rasp on wood scraps while I'm working on bows.  

Finally, I am seasoning a stave to use to make her a hackberry flatbow, but it's not likely to be done in time for her to have it there.  Would it be alright if she uses a glass kid's bow untill/unless I can get her a wood bow tillered out?  I know that folks can sometimes get a little touchy about that kind of thing and I don't want to cause any issues.  Trust me, if it would cause trouble I compleatly understand and it won't be a problem.  

Thanks in advance for any info you can give.  I've looked at the website and it looks like a grand time!  I'm looking forward to it a lot!  I'll try and get some decent whitewood staves split up from the place here to bring for clot shoot and trade and give away and whatnot.  See you all there!
