I will be there.
We'll be on our way home from South Dakota that day. I'll be there in spirit. Hope you guys have a great turnout.

Hey John, count me in!!! You guys set up a great course last year and i had a blast! Mid-Penn has a nice setting for the shoot and the food they served up was good. By the way if my arrow is floating in the pond will Monkeyball take a dip and get it for me lol!!! See you soon...Gary
Gary..you're killin' me..!!! You're always beating me to the punch on that one! I was going to mention that.....lol...!!!! Even though it's not Gigantic, the emphasis on is on fun shots and interesting......!!!! It gets boring when you go to a shoot and you say "oh look, it's a deer standing at 18 yards,!! three Targets later oh look it's another deer standing the other direction and 19 yards..!" ...and so on....! We try to mix it up a little bit....:-D..! I'm not sure that Craig is up to backstrokin' the pond again...but its his call....''' you'll know if you see his t-shirt and Jerusalem cruisers sitting on the bank..!!!!!! Lol... glad you're comin..!! See ya' then Gary....and the rest of you as well....:-D
Sorry John but i couldn't resist lol !!!!!!
Guys if you missed this shoot last year make a point to get there this year. As this being the 2nd yr its already a sleeper shoot that needs more people to attend!!!The shots are hunt like settings trees,sticks, leaves blocking parts of the vitals on some targets and some long shots added in...great mix!!! Plus its well worth the 2 1/2 hr drive for me...Gary
Was hoping to make it but have family coming in!
We re getting our ducks in a row and this one quickly

Hey John, I hear its an Iron Man course, 1 arrow only awsome!!! I'm glad i only shoot woodies!!!
The "Iron Bear" shoot is a one arrow iron man shoot. An 8 shot course...consisting of 8 bear targets in some precarious settings.Dare I say challenging..??? One arrow only...hit foam...you get the score..5 ,8 or 10..!!! Lose your arrow, you have 60 seconds to find it or its game over for your round..!! Break your arrow...same fate..!!! Those who have the highest score after 8 bears wins..!!! IF you make through all 8..! The winner gets the special "Iron Bear" package..!! All included in your 10 $ entry fee....so don't miss out...!!! As for the metallic bear pictured above...a little more paint and our trail sign is completed..!!...oh yes....only ONE time thru for score......see you all here..:-D

Hey, when i google that address on the yellow poster I get a Miner's Bank location. Anywhere close?
Well Jed I'm not sure? Look for Selinsgrove, it's only 10 minutes from there on route 204....Or do a MapQuest to kratzerville fire department. The entrances are just moments apart....
Jed....take the "hyphen" out of mid penn....oi will come right up.
Thanks, John. I hope to be there early on Saturday.
God's Peace,
Jed
Jed..., bring the toughest arrow in your quiver. You might need it........ :-D .....Jackdaw

Topped off with the "Iron Bear" course and some cool novelties.....plus some great food..! Come check it out....
O N E. D A Y T I L. G.O T I M E ...!
Huge "thank you " To all who came out participated in our 2nd Annual shoot! It was a lot of work, but rewarding in the end! The addition of the "IRON BEAR" Made it even more fun..!!!! Hope to see you all next year.......:-D
What a great shoot!!! A big thanks to the fine members of Mid-Penn who were on hand serving up some good food, a good bunch of guys and to Craig,John,Paul and who ever i missed...Awsome job my friends!!!
To all who were not able to make it, you missed a great shoot. The target layout was one of the best i ever shot. It was a great mix of distance and some easy shots to get your A game on shooting. The Iron Bear was the icing on the cake, many of the targets you had to thread the needle to get in the scoring rings. I got knocked out on 2nd target, my super woodie broke in two when i glanced off a bunch of sapplings. I shot the rest of the course and faired well even though i was now just shooting for fun. The weather was great and talked to many of friends and meet some new ones.
Thanks again and looking forward to next year!!!
Good targets, great folks made for a fun day in central PA. Thanks to all involved.
Alvey...Did you intentionally send us a picture of Russell Crowe?
Nope!! Trying to post some pictures from my ipone and it's kicking my ars
