Wow! the year is already started with a real bang. I mean BANG! Yep, that's what was taking place this past weekend at the Jim Bowie chapter of the FCF '09 winter Trace. Fifty hearty souls braved Louisiana's changing weather from warm days, to rainy ones until it got down right COLD. Anything can happen in central Louisiana during January. Four hearty souls braved all these elements and left the Trace honored with the rank of Wilderness.
Saturday night 8 Frontiersmen advanced up to the Buckskin level.
We were privileged to have as our special guest speaker David Jenkins a candidate missionary for Royal Rangers International. David challenged us to really make the heart of missions our daily concern to reach souls for Christ.
Lots of fun activities took place: the usual black powder shoot, hawk and knife throw, flint & steel fire starting. This year we added a primitive bow and arrow blanket shoot. The prizes were donated by each shooter and laid on a blanket. The first place winner got first choice all the way down to the last place winner who took what was left by the others. It's lots of fun and some wonderful prizes were offered.

Enjoy the pics and video clips, especially if you could not be there in person.
