Title: The South West Michigan Twig flingers reunite
Post by: hormoan on January 10, 2008, 11:39:00 AM
I have it lucky and have a large group of other trad shooters to have fun with.  About 6 miles from my house every Wed night in the city of Otsego. About 20-25 trad shooters unite in a evening of arrow flinging and good natured ribbing.  It sure is nice to have a group to shoot with, in the winter months after seasons end! If you are in the area and not joining in, you are missing out!

I'm working on converting my brother, he joined us lastnight. Had a great time, and even shot pretty good!

Who's Jim? ( I haven't learned many of there names yet. ) Was he the guy (with the predator) that was slapping arrows with you?

If it was, yep he could give me lessons too.

Brent that is range is cool! Our league started last sunday. We've got around 18 i think shooting, tight but fun. I'm going to have to suggest some "brush" at at least one shoot.

Make sure you invite those guys to the 08 Bunny Stomp outside of Lansing on 2/16...

Not fair..I'd skip the bunny hunt too for hogs in Texas. Don't need someone to carry your extra bows you take or arrows do ya?    :knothead:

You got that right Brent!!  I never knew how many trad shooters were in the area around be before I joined this site!!  

Nothing better that a great bunch of guys that share the same addiction to spend time with and fling some arras!!

I will agree with Brent.  Great group of guys.  I shot a few times last year with them and had a blast.

The range is very unique, I lived in the area most my life and never knew it was there.  The spot is a secret though...     :saywhat:  

Brent:  I wanted to shoot this week but thought it was Tuesdays...  I just sat home all night Wednesday    :knothead:   I should be there this week.  I will be shooting (badly) an old Kodiak magnum, with camo tape on the limbs.

Brent, check your PM box  ;)

Well its not a secret anymore!! I will bring a roll of duck tape with me, just in case we need to fix anything. Maybe some extra nocks and glue   :jumper:

The range is over Bobs Hardware in Otsego, there is a door just left of his front entrance. Go up the stairs hang a left and your there.
