Someone would have to set some ground rules for the age of the bow........something like pre-1980 or even later. If it was up to me, I would say pre-1972, but I'd be showing my age for sure!
It's always a blast to have a bunch of folks together, all shooting old bows. Actually, for the most part, I'm pretty much only shooting classic bows this year at Denton.....well, except for one particular Dale Dye.
Don't want to conflict with any other get together shoots.

Chad - those A handles will fit right in. Kenny - looking forward to seeing that A Mag (you selling or showing it off?).
Roust up some of the other collectors out there.......we'll have a blast.
I'll shoot either my 60 or 62 Kodiak, since I'm bringing both.
Anyone got a preference for day and time?

#1's 46# I think.
If an offer comes along I can't refuse I might sell.

Here is what I am bringing, 3 will be for sale and one for whip to look at. They all should fit the bill.
58 Bear Grizzly
50's Black Hawk Wasp
67 Kodiak Hunter
55 K-special
the K-Special is my wife's bow and not for Sale. I would like it refinished.
I would probably shoot the Griz since it is the all ready set to go. If I can make this one I will.
Oh I have a 63 K-Special if any one is interested. FWI it's broken the cherry end cap had a glue line failure, the rest of the bow is in immaculate condition.

Joe - can't wait to see your 62 K.....my favorite bow of all time. Kenny - that is one SWEET AMag...fantastic job!
We can all meet around Roman's booth (Hill Country Bows) about 12:00. Hopefully Roman will be at the end of the tent like he was last year. The time frame should be good to work off some lunch.
If anyone has a better idea, post it.....or if you have a conflict, I'm sure we can be flexible. Keep in mind that some of us are serious bow vultures, so if you have a better time, make sure we can get done BEFORE the trade blanket.
I'll bring a camera along..........but I brought one along on a shoot at BBTC with Kathy (killdeer) and never took a single photo! I promise I'll try to focus on getting shots of each classic bow in action.

Correction to an earlier post, my broken bow is a Kodiak Special, and its spoken for.
I will be shooting my 58 Grizzly if I can make the shoot.
Ken did find a nice bunch of old bows! saw em today, perhaps some of you guys could help age them.

We might not be able to hit the broadside of a Rinehart Grizzly target, but one thing's for sure, we'll have a great time out there.
Really looking forward to the Hill and seeing you folks again. Except for AlexB, I only see the rest of you at Denton or other big shoots.
Kathy, we'll miss you. One year you'll have to use some "sick time" and make it up here. Meanwhile, we'll make a toast one night to you and Clark, wishing you continued good health, happiness, and more paid time off!
Bring plenty of arrows.........but then again, if you're feeling especially "accurate" that day, just bring one.......we'll help you find it if you miss!!!!

we should be arriving between 9:30 and 10. What's the quickest way there? Also, If I arrive late, what course are you planning on shooting? maybe I can catch up?
