Kevin,

Thanks for the posting about the shoot.

Like previous years, we are going to keep this shoot simple, low key, affordable and hopefully fun for everyone. 

I talked with Dave and Matt last night and they are planning on doing the bow making area under the shelter again.

Dino and Eric volunteered to set up the chronograph so guys can see how fast their bows are shooting (perhaps we can give out a prize to the fastest bow this year).

I am working out the "scenario" for this years woodswalk (on Saturday). I would like to do something really different with the woodswalk this year.

The Clout target (sunday) still only has a couple of holes in it, maybe this year we can put a few more in it this year.

I am not sure if we can top last years prize table with the current economy and all, but we will rustle up some prizes.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Take care,
Brian

[Ryano]

Brian, I'll donate a prize or two.

[BrianS]

Ryan,

A prize donation would be extremely generous and very much appreciated. Times are tough so I did not push for prizes.

Looking forward to seeing the PA boys.

Thanks again,
Brian

[Ryano]

I'm sure I can come up with something...... 

It's no problem Brian. We love this shoot, if there's anything else I can do to help just let me know.

[BrianS]

Ryan,
Thank You.

Hey Bryan, What are the chances of getting a hawk block set up this year for a little friendly competition? Or even not so friendly.

[Ryano]

That would be great! 

[Buffalogobbler]

Chris, Ryan,
We just cut a large stump a few weeks ago, I'll email Brian and forward your suggestion.
A Hawk Block sounds like a lot of fun.

Chris, Ryan,
There will be a hawk block set up and I believe Tom has an idea for a contest.

[Ryano]

Awesome! Thanks Kevin. See ya'll friday. 

[BrianS]

We put out two courses of 3Ds for this years shoot. One of this courses runs through a different piece of our property to mix things up a bit. There are some interesting downhill shots. We got the Clout target out of the barn today (still only a couple of holes in it). The Woodswalk will be much different than in the past. It should be fun to do the Chronograph thing again. Weather is looking decent for Friday and Saturday. We are looking forward  to seeing Everyone again.

Drive Safe and Take Care,
Brian And Dave

[BrianS]
