[Ansteorra-archery] Congratulations, it's a bow

[jspinks at ix.netcom.com]

I for one would favor having an all day class at Aob and then get to shoot the bow next morning.   Maybe even continuing on with choosing the arrows for the bow.  I can go to any number of bowmaking classes around but would just as soon go to one centered within the SCA as an event.   Either way keep me posted.  I would like to attend.

While I agree we need to have an AoB, I'd rather do my bowmaking thing as a 
separate deal, so I can devote adequate time to hands on instruction. I want 
folks to walk away with a firm grasp of the basic skills they'll need to get 
started in bow making. If I accomplish that objective, they'll be able to return 
to their respective shires/baronies, and teach others what they've learned. 
There's simply not that much I can accomplish in a one hour AoB class, other 
than a brief lecture/demo. That's got to be dissapointing to somebody who really 
wants to learn how to make a bow.

Concerning AoB, if no one else is willing to step up to the plate, we very 
well may revisit that issue. I've thus far maintained a courteous silence on the 
subject, to give others an "opportunity to excel" ;-)

Cheers,
Robert
