Wow, what a week. Some how each classic is better than the last. I'm not sure how that is possible. A big thank you to Pappy and the Twin Oaks members. I can't imagine how much work you guys do to allow us a week in the greatest place on earth. It is greatly appreciated, thank you.
It is hard to put into words how much of a great time this event is. I was able to put a lot of new faces with usernames this week. I enjoyed talking to the Texas gang. I hope you guys make it back next year. I met an honest to goodness English longbowman. I enjoyed some of the best food I have ever tasted (don't tell the wife I said that). I met the newly weds. Thanks for the warm fire on the long walk back to the truck. I flung a lot of arrows and actually hit a few targets. My favorite shooting rounds were the groin and head shots. We were saving the kill zones for everyone else. I think my favorite part of this years classic was waiting up for Blackhawk to arrive and pulling an all nighter in the bow shop with him. We actually got a lot done and didn't mess anything up. It was something I'll never forget.
A big thanks to everyone who traded with me or gave me gifts. It was fun to see all my new supplies when I unloaded the truck today. A special thanks to Cody for the target and Pappy for the yew stave. I'm glad the holey stave went home with Chuck. That's who it belonged with.

Tracy putting a heart shot on a target. Its hard to see but the small yellow blur is his arrow halfway to the target.
Some kill shots on a couple of florida turkeys. We weren't sure how to score these.
Some good friends.
And some new friends
