Thought I would post a few pictures of the latest 2007 Kalamazoo Trad expo. Cindy and I had a great time. Meeting traditional archers is always a pleasure. The show was a big hit with many attending. The weather was great even with the lake effect snow that came in on Saturday. I did'nt have alot of time to take many pictures but managed to get a few. For those who went to Kazoo....add some pics of your fun experiences. Also wanted to thank the Great Northern folks for a job well done!

A short stop at 3Rivers was a great experience! These folks sure know how to run a business. Dale, Sandie, Todd and Danny graciously took time to show us there operation. First class people all the way!

Awesome pics! Looks like a great show.
-
so many broadheads!!!!!!! so awsome!!! wow!!!!!!
-
I wish I could have gotten some pics but my digicam is still on back order. I especially wish I could have gotten some of me shooting that double shelf Saluki from both sides. I can't bend over backwards and shoot like Terry Green but I can shoot ambidexterously.
-
Wondered where y'all were.
Glad you had fun and a safe trip back. Thanks for sharing.
Did you shoot a Shrew? I've been wondering what they shoot like.
-
Thanks for the pics. This is the first year in some time that I missed Kzoo and the photos help some.
Woodduck, do NOT test shoot a Shrew (unless you have your check book with you).
-
Many thanks John.........looks like you had some serious fun!!!
-
Great pictures. You "showed the show" well!
-
Thanks John for all the pictures!

Brooks Johnson was a great guy to talk to. He signed my daughters hunting pic and took a picture with us. Everyone there is pleasant!

Bill and Linda sure were a long way from home.... ;) BLM

Great pics John! For those who are a ways away from kzoo, you can get pretty cheap airfares to Michigan in january LOL! I flew round trip from rural Oregon (3 flights each way) for $397. That's half the cost of the same trip in June for Comptons. It's a very worthwhile thing to do if meeting and talking to any of these folks is important to you. Everyone there is as down to earth as you could imagine. I had nice talks with John Dill, Ron LeClair, Bob Morrison, Brooks Johnson, Larry from German Ridge, Brian from Bowyers Journal, Ken Beck and Roger Fulton from BW, and other great folks. It's a lot more than a shopping spree. It's a chance to meet some exceptional people. When I was younger, I passed up a chance to go to a similar event where Fred Bear was attending. Now I don't have that option, and I'm forever kicking myself. Next year save your quarters and hop a plane. You'll be glad you did.

I got to handle a few of Ron's bows but did not get a chance to shoot one. Cindy and I were very busy running our booth. Ron LaClair has some of the nicest products bar none. I watched Ron shoot a little on the try out range and he can flat shoot his Shrews. I know that his bows were the talk of the show. I hope I can get one, one day. I would like to have a portable blind bow.

Cindy was quite cold. The Michigan folks knew we were "ducks out of water" in their weather. The snow was fun. I wish I could have taken more pictures....we met so many great people!
-
Great Pictures!!! I wish I could have been there.

Oh well, off to catch some bluegills through the ice!
