5th annual Bowie's Memorial Hammer-in dates

[Alan Longmire]

Cutting competition is Sunday. The edge is important  for sure, but skill is as well.

I'll grab a couple of boxes of doughnuts on my way this morning!

It's over and we survived!  Any attendee, feel free to start a photo thread.

I survived as well. But I attended only 2 days. And I learned a few new tricks and met new people (all very nice).

I placed second last in the cutting competition (although my knife was a bit oversized), but I guess for my first such test I am satisfied. Not to mention my hands are not as steady and strong as they were 50 years ago.

Not sure if I will have a chance to come next year but will try. And maybe practice just a little...

Thanks again Alan, to put up that show!

It was a good time!  Drove home 8 hours to find the power was out, so I should have just stayed in the beautiful Tennessee mountains. 

 

I'll post one pic of our fearless leader proving that he does indeed know how to use a file.  The rest of my photos are in the hands of someone much more responsible

I resent that accusation!  

 

I'll post some soon, catching up on the 50,000 emails that came in over the two days I took off.  Bill said he'd send video highlights as well, but he's got over 400 hours (!) of video to edit.

Thank you Alan & everyone else who coordinated it! I was able to meet a lot of people in person. 
 I left with an addiction to silver hilted dirks! 😁
