A while back Kathy Andrews from the IDNR contacted me and asked if the Illinois Bowfishers could help her secure some gar scales for a outdoor crafts project in her Becoming an Outdoors Woman program.

You guys shot some decent sized longnose gar for me and I cleaned up the scales and sent them off to her.

She sent some samples ofwhat the class made. They are really cool. The poinsetta pin is perfect for Christmas and I really like thelong dangling earrings.It makes me think I should make a matching necklace.

Thanks to you guys and to Kathy!
