I would like to meet Mr Asbell. Does anyone know of any future events he will be at?
He will most likely be at the Trad Expo in K'zoo in January.
Eric
I'm a newbie so I don't know how much he gets around. He was at the trad archery expo, hosted by The Bowyer's Journal, last spring in Wheeling, WV. I'm guessing he will be at the same trad archery expo this spring, except it will be in St. Clairsville, OH, right off I-70, instead of in Wheeling. I hope I'm right.
I think he will be at the Compton rendezvous this June. I'm sure someone will know the dates and other details.

He usually has a booth at K'zoo, selling his wife's "Wooly Goodys" and other stuff.

I have to agree with Eric. I have been to several of the Expo's and G Fred was at all of them. I would be that he has a booth with his books and quivers a some of the Mrs. wool shirts! Mike
freds books are great!!!
clears up a lot of things well for me in terms of shooting technique.
Thanks alot. I guess I'll just keep my eyes and ears open and try to catch him at one of the shows.
He usually attends the Eastern Traditional Archery Rendevouz held at the end of July at Denton Hill Ski resort in Pennsylvania.
Here's what I found for 2008 at Denton

I have met Fred a couple times. Ran into Fred at the "Widow Works" a year ago and got to spend sometime talking to him. Very nice gentleman. And I have one of the wool shirts his wife makes, it is one of my favorite piece of hunting gear.

Well looks like I'll get my wish in Jan.
Where is the Florida shoot? I did a search and found a web site that doesn't look like it had been updated in a couple of years.
The Ad Say's its at the Ocala Conservation center in Silver springs, Florida.
Fred is usually at the Great Lakes Longbow Invitational as well. Its in August every year in Hastings, Mich. Awesome weekend.
Ill be there Greg. I am looking forward to meeting him and yourself in person.
p.s.
You need to check out the hunting lease in Bronwood for next year. It keeps getting better and better and we'll be a couple of members short.
wow, quite a statement about a man who has done so much good for traditional bowhunting, and is such a fine gentelman.
