I wanted to offer one clarification regarding Tripper's "40 yard running shot."  I had a ring-side seat to view the miss.  It was a 40 yard running shot, but the rabbit was only at 30 yards.

I second the compliment on the great food, especially the deer steaks --- awesome!

It was great to spend time with such a fun-loving group of bowhunters.  Next time we'll have to add some rabbits to the mix.

I too had a great time! Sorry no pictures until tomorrow because of home dialup…it’s way to slow.

Thanks Tripper for putting this together.

We had a great time even though no blood was spilled but, alot of cans met there demise with so well placed arrows!Our three cooks made an excellent breakfast Tom Porter,Brett Eisman and Paul Nissen.   Tom cooked ham and eggs on this midwest farm disc     Brett attacked the hash browns with green peppers and onions   and Paul cooked the most delicous deer steaks I've ever had!    While the cooking was going on the junior members loosened up thier bows!

I agree with Tom, Tripper did an excellent job organizing,arrainging for food and picked a very good looking area to hunt, unfortunately the rabbit population was down.   Our trusty scout Bob Snow on the highest vantage point ( standing on a fence post) trying to spot game.There was some tall,tough cover in places!

Great time guys. I really enjoyed it. The deer steaks, breakfast burritos, and especially Tripper's stories were worth the trip alone. It was great hanging out with everyone and meeting some more Trad Gangers.

Paul, Vince, Roger, and Mike...I really enjoyed seeing the bows you made. Awesome workmanship guys.

Ending the day with a trip up to Mike's shop, The Nocking Point, was icing on the cake. Thanks Mike, you'll be hearing from me in the future.

Can't wait to do it again. Thanks again Tripper for setting this up!

This was a great time, I predict another big rendevous in the future....

Tripper's "True Life" stories of life as a fireman had me bustin' a gut.  Great to see Mike H. out of the shop with a bow in his hands...did anyone swipe those pictures from his shop so we can post on the internet?  I'm talking blackmail material.....  :readit:  

Vince gets the prize for farthest distance;  hope this is the first of many meetings  :wavey:  

great get together, can't wait 'til next time  :thumbsup:

Wow what a great day!! Met several new Tradgangers got to see several I all ready knew pretty well. I went to school with Mike Bray and hadn't seen Him for 20 plus years. I think Everyone had a good time. Didn't kill any rabbits but we killed the best part of the day doing what We enjoy and You can't beat that with a stick!!

One of the best times of the day was cooking next to Paul. His stories kept Me entertained all morning, Thanks

Hats off to Tripper for all the effort to put this together. Thanks again Everyone for coming and hope to see everyone again real soon.

I'd like to regress for a minute about how we got here. One year ago this month Tom Porter organized the first get together of the KC trad network thru our contact on Trad Gang. Through his hard work we have shot at several 3d shoots around the area. We have built good freindships and had the comraderie that is common in trad circles.At some we've broke bread,told stories(some may have been stretched a bit) and camped over night at a few. Tom our hats are off to you for making this come to be!   Tom and Trip by the cook stove.   Tom at his best!( he dances too!)   Here's the Bunny hunt group except me (your lucky I'm behind the camera) There was 17 adults(?) and four juniors.

Nice turnout guys,  wish I hadn't had two thing to choose from this weekend.  

We spent yesterday planning for OJAM IV coming up March 19-22 down by Stillwater, OK.  Anybody that has even thought about making a bow should to try to make it there.  Gate will open after noon on the 18th and it is primitive camping.

Oklahoma Outdoors videotaped a segment at the OJAM III gathering.  You can find it at:

You need Itunes or another program to view it (links on this site).  Find the segment on the 'Oklahoma Selfbow Jamboree'.

Wow, looks like a great turnout and a wonderful time!  Still wish I'd a been able to make it and meet some more of you guys form the Kansas side.

Tom, is that one pic an official tryout to be on a Captain Morgain spiced rum comercial or did you just fart on the disc????  There is a suspicious looking cloud behind you!  :eek:

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.

Hello everyone, I again want to thank everyone for coming and spending the day together.

I also want to thank the cooks, Man what a meal.

It looks like the pics turned out good. Tom, where's the hero shot I took of you? Even though there was no rabbits put into the game pouch, I had a wonderful time. I loved hearing everyone's stories and soaking up the knowledge this group has to offer. I'm glad you enjoyed the Fire Dept. stories. If you guys only knew what people did in the city.

Thanks Horsey for ruining my 40 yard super shot, I lost an arrow on that shot.

I can't wait to do it again. Anytime you guys want to get together I'm in.

To my surprise my girls really enjoyed the entire gathering. I know they had fun, but I was not sure how they felt about walking through the thick grass. They are ready to go again. I would like to thank everyone for being so welcoming. It is nice to hang out with a group of people that you really have something in common with. I have to say the deer steaks were probably the best steaks, deer or beef, I have ever had. When is the next gathering, I am ready?
