Always fun when you get a lot of like minded folks together.

You, of all people, understand that principle, Pappy! Iowabow goes to your event to soak up the attitude and ambience so he can replicate it in Iowa. Having been to both events, I gotta say both share that wonderful sense of camaraderie and helpfulness. The only difference at this time is simply scale!

It was a real good time, very much looking forward to the next!
John will most likely neglect to post the final scores in the 3d shoot, so I guess I'll gloss over the highlights. A lot of guys shot arrows, and I edged John out for the win by one point. Prolly the last and only time John hands me a pencil and a score sheet and says "Here, you don't mind keeping score do you?" I was unbeatable!
Seriously tho, he's the real deal, two shots, two hits in a floating duck decoy from 25yrds. I was impressed!

Thanks John and Annette!

The bow vs atlatal competition looks cool.

There is reason you would have never seen a fat guy with atlatal back in the day, because you can't hit any thing with an atlatal!

My right shoulder is still sore.

Would you guys like to see a video of the atlatl out scoring the bow?

Buffalogobbler · « **Reply #264 on:** March 25, 2014, 03:50:46 pm »

Would we?

you bet we would!

Ok here was the Great Atlatl contest between the bow and atlatl. I shot against Silver John and Ninja and lost only once I think. This was a lot of fun!!!

pfffft......camera tricks! No one used an atlatl to hunt with that didnt end up starving to death. Actually, I believe that it was the first weight loss aid. "Here chubby, take this out and only eat what ever you can kill with it."
