A most fulfilling event...
Have been attending this event with much anticipation for each of the past 16 years. The number of genuine friends I have been privileged to make is both astounding and priceless. Many of the new friends are only seen once a year at this coveted event and sometimes years later.
I am genuinely blessed and hold the deepest appreciation for Twin Oaks continuously hosting such a magnificent trad event.
Thank you, Twin Oaks!!!
Scott, I've been attending for about 15 years or so also. I made lots of good friends there and most of them I only get to see at the Classic. Looking forward to another year at the Classic. :thumbsup: :archer: :archer2: :campfire:
There have been a few changes this year as far as the site is concerned. The hill behind where James Parker sets up is devoid of most of the trees due to storm damage and the metal shed, also storm damaged, has been replaced with a good side wood shed. And I think they've also cleared some more camp sites.

Thanks Pat, much appreciated, look forward to seeing you in May.

I'll be there with bells on, Pappy. :thumbsup:
If anyone is interested in building selfbows the Classic is the place. They have the Selfbow Challenge where you buy a stave on site or bring your own and once you've signed up you will have lots of selfbow builders helping you get through your project. On Sunday you shoot the course with other Challengers for score and a possible trophy. We've had as many as 60 folks go through the challenge and end up with shootable bows by Sunday morning. There are folks building selfbows well into the night and early in the mornings so there is no excuse not to get it done.

This is the vendor list for the Classic so far, 41 and 2 pending, about full, looks like you get about anything you want in the Traditional world.

I am New to Trad Bow shooting and hopefully hunting and would love to make it to this, this year.
You will have a great time at the Tenn Classic. Cheapest vacation you'll ever take. Folks start showing up the Friday, April 24, a week before the opening weekend so come early if you can. Lots of bows for sale and plenty for you to try out.If you are up for building a selfbow that is a big part of the Tenn Classic.
Thanks Pat, it is supposed to warm up a bit over the next few days so maybe can start getting a little of this mess cleaned up.

Take care of that knee, Pappy. Do you have a brace for it?
