Pappy loves dogs. He has 2 that live on the farm but during the Classic they are locked in their pen. He hopes everyone understands but the liability is just too high.

The new steel buck at Twin Oaks. Frequent attendants will remember the steel fox target that has been part of the Classic shoot for many years. Now the steel fox has company with the new steel buck. :thumbsup:

TWIN OAKS seems to have the best game diversity of anywhere with mountain goats feeding on Beechnut's to elk browsing on white oak acorns and even ole Big foot himself out picking tulip poplar blossom's and up around the cabin you will see kids playing in the creek, hear fiddle and banjos music around the camp fires in the evening and in the cool crisp air of the morning smell the bacon and Dutch oven sour dough biscuits cooking over red oak and hickory coals of the camp fires banked up form the night before ..... so if this shoot has been on your bucket list for a while best stir that bucket some so it will come to the top I hope to see all of ya'll there come may

Pappy and the Twin Oaks Bowhunters have asked me to announce that as of this coming Tenn. Classic no dogs will be allowed, not even in the campground. Last year a young boy was bitten just because he walked by the camp where the dog was, the year before 2 people were bitten plus folks aren't cleaning up after their dogs.
Pappy loves dogs. He has 2 that live on the farm but during the Classic they are locked in their pen. He hopes everyone understands but the liability is just too high.
You have my full support on this issue , we have adopted the same policy for KyTradFest. It’s the responsible thing to do.

This year I will be donating a Black Hunter recurve (30#@28”),quiver, and 6 carbon arrows as a starter kit for someone in need, preferably a youngster.
It ain’t a bad looking rig, and a good performer.
Can’t wait to get there.

So, I went from little nagging pain to petty grumbling, but I went to the club and shot 16 arrows out of my Centaur! Then I bought a one-year launch pass at the NOVA parks, talked to the guy I ordered the new kayak from, got groceries, and will settle into a snort of tequila.
Short story; I am way more optimistic now than I was a week ago. Bought a new camping tarp.
Clarksville or bust!

Oh, I just had an evil thought. What if the canoe comes into town during the shoot? :scared:

I am sorry that folks aren’t responsible about their dogs.
I am married to a dog lover, we have three and they are loved greatly. I do not understand why people, who are mostly too selfish and irresponsible to care for their animals and continue to take them out in “human situation’s” hoping to force everyone to love of their bad behaving dogs. Don’t force your dogs on others, leave them at home and if you can’t do that, you really don’t need the dog. That’s my take on peoples pets.

Humans are “like” that.
These are wonderful. Last year, I and a lot of others held up progress by shooting pics on whatever devices we had of the realistic and heartstopping creations that we encountered at every turn.
Being humans, we commenced to attempt to destroy them with our arrows. :saywhat:
Fortunately, being humans, we were thwarted by the foam gods. :deadhorse:
You go, Tennesseans. I will follow!

People saying howdy, some I have to relearn their names, some that slip back into the previous conversation and continue as though no time had passed.
And then all hell broke loose.
I had been wanting a lower poundage longbow since beginning a duel with DeQuervain’s tendonitis last September. I thought that maybe I would run into such an animal here. Ya reckon?
I can shoot my 46 pounder, but only have so many shots before my wrist tuckers out and I go back to the bullpen, like a pitcher in the fifth inning. I wanna finish a course and strengthen the muscles that I have been working on for six months. And I have always avoided highly hyped “popular” trends and products.
But all hell broke loose.
I am a fallen woman.
Black Widow showed up and I fell. I recognized the salesman from Kalamazoo in 2012. Such a nice guy. So good at selling a bow to the infirm. No struggle. No weeping over my weakness, no blaming the victor.
Shortly after a thorough perusal of longbow offerings, I selected one for a try at the practice range.
Shortly before departure to said practice range, a very annoying horse trader showed up. He expressed an interest in my choice, fondled my Centaur in an impure way, and mentioned a Black Widow residing in his truck, which he was interested in trading.
I allowed him to go get it, getting him out of my face, and went to try the bow. It will do.
Nicely!
The toxic trader showed up. I allowed him to try the Widow. I cringed and allowed him to try my Centaur (which will probably be buried with me). I declined to try his bow, a plain Jane one piece Widow 2 pounds lighter than the bow I was trying. I bought the Widow, saving it from a lifetime of degradation in those grubby paws. I wiped down the Centaur with Purell. :saywhat:
I was not looking for a takedown, this is only the second in my collection, the first being a Morrison Cheyenne. But the specs suited me, it was friendly to the eye, and most importantly, shot well, quickly and quietly. It likes my GT 600s with a 100 grain insert and 175 grain point.
More news to come, including something very special!

This unique event is filled with such priceless treasures that conveying its multitude of altruistic gifts is most challenging. The Twin Oaks’ event is so extraordinary, so authentic and so exceptional that it actually pains me to wait another year for this dream filled event.
A simple ‘Thank you’ to Twin Oaks falls considerably short of my actual gratitude.
