curious if anyone from Massachusetts or the new england area will be headed down.. I will be going last minute maybe leave in the very early AM on thursday and hopefully camping at kearses..

might have a seat available in tha Cahr or "little scoot"  which really is a small gokart death trap that gets 530 miles on 11 gallons so we'll drive by most gas stations but we might stop at a few chiropratic offices to make sure everyone can stand okay (don't want anyone having bad form when we get there)    :biglaugh:   .

If anyone going makes strings, or is looking to get started, this would be the ideal time to stock up.  BCY always brings a ton of stuff at discounted prices.

Anyone know if the lifts will be running??  I am assuming they will not be.

LBR, glad to hear that you'll be there again this year.  I initiated myself to string making with your discounted BCY last year.  Very happy with your suggestions and my results.  Need some more BCY.  See you at Denton.

I'll be arriving on Monday evening for a good camping spot. Will be shooting the courses with two granddaughters. Wife will be hanging with us.

I heard the lifts WILL be running.

will be there! first time ever so excited!

now do you all bring bows to the etar? i haven't flown with a bow before do I have to worry about the temperature on the plane for the bow in the checked bag?
Title: Re: Denton hill shoot
Post by: Frenchymanny on June 22, 2016, 07:06:00 AM
Checked bags are in a cool section of the plane. No worries there

Temps at the altitude commercial planes fly is very cold--no problems with them getting too hot.

Apparently I heard wrong. The Facebook page says "the state has final say, but the foundations had a lot of movement last winter". My granddaughters really enjoyed riding them two years ago.

Post by: Tajue17 on June 22, 2016, 08:48:00 PM
thank you guys for the ride offer but with my job I'm very last minute and its hard for me to meet up with anyone, I'm that guy that tells everyone "if I'm not here by that time head out without me"  I heard the lifts will not be running and there is a typo somewhere that says prices for 2016 ETAR Chairlifts so ignore it.

If all works out for a vendor's booth at this late date, I'll be there selling my book (A Traditional Bowhunter's Path) to anyone who is desperate for reading material!

I'll be there Friday and again on Sunday! I'm fortunate to only live 1.5 hours away.

Last year the lifts were not running because they were unsafe and Denton Hill's bank account was seriously hurting, making it impossible to repair the lifts...I'm assuming that situation hasn't changed.

For all parties close by, there is a "shooters shoot" version going on this weekend at Sawmill Ski resort, about 30 minutes away from Denton. They originally purchased the lease for this shoot 15 years ago when they feared they would lose the shooting rights for ETAR. When that didn't happen, they decided to just have both. Really no vendors here, just tons of shooting.

The lifts should be running at Sawmill all weekend this weekend for anyone looking for some fun and awesome views  :)

Can't wait for another year at Denton.

Looking for a few guys that are non-aimers that would be willing to try a few aiming techniques on the practice range and maybe even on a course for our next film project while at Denton.

If you're interested, please PM me and we can set up a time to meet and fling some arrows in front of a camera!!

Thanks,
Matt

Thump: this will be my third straight year. We have arrived on Tuesday in past years, hope to arrive Monday evening to get a very special site. You should be able to get a spot on Thursday, but I would arrive as early as possible.
