I went to the Dan Quillian Memorial State Shoot in Thomaston, GA. When I got there and went up to see him, he says, "That's some bow ya got there."
So I asked him to hold it. :D

He was everything everyone said he was-genuine, humble, and all around decent.

Looks like a good time you had!
Yep, Jim is a really nice guy.
Great guy to do business with too. I always look forward to visiting his booth at Compton.

I go to his tent first every time I'm at Denton Hill. Always helpful and friendly.
Looks like a great shoot and is on my list. Thanks for sharing the pics.
Thats me trading a bow with him and I bought one. I was impressed with his traveling "store" and the quality of service from his bunch. A good Fella I enjoyed doing business with. nice to meet you as well Lady Frost.RC
top notch for sure
Great pics, Elizabeth. Thanks for sharing them. That shoot looks like fun!
You can't find another like him. All around great guy.
I've only had minimal business with him but based on those experiences I'd give 11 gold stars out of 10! Top notch.
Yep if TG had a sponsor of the year award no doubt Jim's name would always end up in the pot. What's not to love about the beast!
Great guy and dealer.
I agree with everyone so far.
great pictures LF.
Elizabeth, I do believe I have held your arrows before.
They look just like some a friend of mine the woodchucker had.
He sure makes some pretty good sticks too. I luv my thunderchild.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice photos.
I always enjoy chatting and doing business with Jim.
Always see him at Comptons every year.
Had the pleasure of meeting a couple of weeks ago...It was a pleasure. Great guy, great product, and the best service!
Great pics lady frost. ! Looks like a great shoot. :clapper:
Oh yea , by the way. Jim is a great guy to deal with. I'm going to check out the gold tips he sells . :clapper: :clapper:
Yep, Jim's a pretty good fellow. He has been very loyal go us in the TBG, coming to our state shoot for several years now. Course he is one of ours anyway, by way of Minnesota. :) . Thanks for taking all those pictures Liz. It's much appreciated.
As for the shoot, it's a good one no doubt. We are blessed to have access to such a nice piece of property. The farm is owned by the Cathy family ( Chick fil A) They have been very good to us. I would love to see more of you out of state folks at next year's shoot. It's worth the trip.

:D Yes, they are. :D
I shoot them so much I am afraid I am wearing them out. Gotta do some repair work. Woodchucker gave them to me along with the bow, I will never get rid of them.

It is definitely a GREAT place for the yearly shoot. I will definitely bring my boys (and camping gear) next year. Cant wait.
You are welcome, Todd for the pics, it was good to see you and the family.
To everyone who enjoyed the pics, I am so glad. That is why I take them. You all are so welcome. Maybe next year you all will come? :D :D :D :D

Arrows are made to be lost or broken. Theres always more where they came from.
I read a story about a guy who paid too much for an arrow which was once owned by Fred bear. His friends were in dismay when he came back to camp with only half of it all bloodied up.
yep he took it hunting!
