Matt and I made it down yesterday for about three hours. We bailed when the snow started because it is a long drive home, Our 2.5 hour drive took us 4 hours so I'm glad we left when we did. It was a good show but they were short on vendors.

I hadn’t been to Kalamazoo in maybe 12-13 years.   It was great to go back!  There were a ton of people there!  I hope vendors did well!

I made it on Friday. It was well worth the trip. A new Black Widow PL Graybark, new Bow-N-Fide targets for my 3'x3' Bow-N-Fide target, a leather arm guard and some 125 gr target points. I wanted to shoot a Java Man Elkhart, but I couldn't afford to go home with two new bows.

Had a great day Saturday with my daughters and grandkids.  I didn’t shoot many bows, had fun watching all the kids shoot!!! Dropped my Northern Mist Skanee riser off with Steve to get another set of limbs made for elk season 2023. Spent some time at St. Joe Bows booth, and came home with a bow for the grandkids to share for now. Thank you David and Tracey for all the work you do to make kids bows!!! Your trade in trade up program is an awesome deal and a great way to get kids interested in traditional archery and hopefully keep the sport growing!!! Already thinking about next year!!!
