January 13 Sanjusangen-do Temple Kyoto, Japan	Toshiya Historical Archery contest at Sanjusangendo The historical archery contest has been held at Sanjusangendo since the Edo period (1603-1868). Originally, when all the competitors were warriors, the competition would last the entire day and night; now it lasts seven hours. Each year, more than 1,000 archers, all in traditional costume, compete in a contest that taxes both physical strength and mental tenacity. The archers fire several arrows at targets one meter in diameter over a distance of sixty meters to decide the grand champion. An additional bonus is that as the contest takes place on Coming of Age day, many of the spectators will be wearing spectacular kimonos.

Manchester, TN

The Old Stone Fort
The events are termed as Celebrations of Archaeoskills.

Archaeo meaning primitive, we like the description for an aboriginal technology event. It has always been an knap-in and has long included atlatl competition. Many other activities and demonstration are included.

The Old Stone Fort is a 2000 year old hilltop enclosure ceremonial site that has been termed the most strikingly situated of Woodland sacred places. The park features a campground enjoyed by participants. Manchester (within a couple of miles) has over 1300 motel rooms. You may recognize this area as the home of the most profitable festival in the world - Bonnaroo - on the summer solstice week.

The 50 acre enclosure called the Old Stone Fort is situated in the forks of the Duck River with cliffs and waterfalls on both sides of the walled enclosure. This remarkable setting includes a set of in-turned parallel walls that are within a degree of the summer solstice rise point.

OSAGE KNAP-IN ~ The Great One!

What Are Knap-Ins? They are gatherings of craftsmen who replicate stone tools used by ancient civilizations (i.e.: stone arrow & atlatl points, knives, and axes). These events are used to exchange replication methods and ideas, teach the craft to new Knappers, and they are social events for people who share common interests in archeology and primitive crafts. The Osage Knap-In is an event that has been ongoing for over two decades and has grown from just five participating craftsmen to hundreds from all over the country. It is one of the first and largest events of this kind in the USA and has a reputation as one of the best. The best Knappers in the country regularly attend this event.

October 26, 2008 Pineville, MO LAST Sunday	JOMO Monthly Knap-In Pineville, Missouri on Little Sugar Creek We welcome you to our occasional, sorta monthly knapping gatherings. ANYONE is welcome to come and participate or observe. Beginners and wannabe's are especially welcome and Jim Spears is normally here to help you get a good a start. Our core group is Christian and strives to behave as such so please do not bring any drugs or alcohol. However, please DO bring food for the picnic table! Also, do bring a chair and safety glasses are a very good idea. If you are into bows and atlatls, bring 'em! We love to shoot and throw. Many of the guys are excellent bow builders and enjoy talking shop with you. This is not a commercial knap-in so no one sets up to sell. There's no problem with buying a rock from a buddy but we just do not want selling to be the focus here. Please email with questions to either: missouritrading@gmail.com or missouritrading@gmail.com or steve____mo@hotmail.com
