Harrison. Last year it was the light hammer for the pros and there is a sheaf. I know some people are asking if they can throw the heavy hammer instead of the light.

There is a possibility that the field for sunday might be full. I don't know if that's the case or not. Tony make sure you talk to Bill before you drive all that way. I sent my information in mid way through July. I don't know how many positions they have for sunday. Hopefully you guys are in though. Hope to see you this weekend.

Steve just in case you missed the slam. I think someone called you cromagnon man. At least that's how I read it. See you Sunday. If you can get down there Sat. it should be a great comp.

You'll like it the first time one of your tosses moves you up a place in a competition.
Of course, it might be a while before that happens.  -Wayne |

Tony, does the exceptionally hairy back of the bear look familliar? SO is there a Sheaf for us? I have only thrown it twice and I think it was a 16 both times. I don't mind the event, it just takes a long time. Ryan, I am trying to get there in Saturday. I have my first football game that morning, but I should get there in the afternoon. Are you guys staying for the weekend? |

Its not the hair on the back of the Bear thats familiar
to me. That Bear has way too much hair to look like me anyway. You right too, that the Sheaf does take way too much time, but we can set the bar high and go up by two or three foot intervals. Im staying with Wayne on Sat. night and we are heading over on Sunday morning. For all those throwing on Sat., good luck and wish I could be there.
