It looked like the Hunt was going to flop! the weather kept most from attending, the folks who did show made up for those who could not make it. I hope this helps you make up your mind next year!
Post them if you have them!

Speed Shooting
(http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r267/bowmofo/GOSH09009.jpg)
Who will be the first to shoot six Squirrels and advance to the next round?
The Dinks targets took a lot of abuse from blunts,small game heads & broad heads by the score! Check them out at dinksfeathershop.com (http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r267/bowmofo/GOSH09029.jpg)
How did you stand those dinks targets up.
I have quite a few of them but I haven't found a good way to stand them up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks to Mike and the Geauga Bowmen for putting on the first annual GOSH!

Looks like you guys had a blast! Wish I could have been there.
Had a GREAT time! I had to leave on Sat. but had a lot of fun and got to spend time shooting with new people and new friends.Thanks Mike for getting this all together!
Denny
Looks like a good time. Wish we could have made it.
I was only there for a couple of hours on Sunday, Which was long enough to make me wish I had been there the whole weekend. I did win that nice campfire cooker pictured above in the raffle and got in some shooting at the camp and met some really nice people. Congrats to Mike and all the others who put on this fine event! Danny.
Fun for sure! Weather was great and I should have brought more arrows. I could have been flinging them at squirrels all morning Sunday.
:thumbsup:

Looks like a blast! Mark's 2nd post. 5th pic down, looks like someone took an arrow to the leg. :eek:
Looks like a lot of fun had by all!!
Did Matt (celticknot) pay extra to get himself in all the pics?? He seems to be in a lot of them! :biglaugh:
Gonna really try and get to this next year! Might have to see about teh Deer hunt coming up--these hunts look like too much fun to miss them all!
looked like fun, hopefully "gingivitis kahn" and I will be able to make it next year. :D
Maryland Bow hunter you asked How did you stand those dinks targets up. we used small pieces of broken arrows or sticks stuck in the foot to widen the base like a upside down T. a gutter spike would work perfect.the Dinks targets are the best broadhead targets I ever used. You can bet we will have a gang of them next year!
If you look at my second pic carefully you can see the sticks at the base of our squirrels!

This is our first one. Modeled after the (GORE) Great Ohio rabbit hunt www.greatohiorabbithunt.net (http://www.greatohiorabbithunt.net)
(http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r267/bowmofo/GOSH09.jpg)
Talked to Mike (cough) about this (cough) last (cough) night. He's got plans (cough) for this thing (cough, cough) and it's (cough) gonna be a (cough) something you wanna be (cough) at next (cough) year. (cough). :help:
You really need to take something for that! :eek:
Heydeerman, Eat some pork.
Heydeerman,if you drank Xango...mangosteen you wouldn't get all that junk. We have been on it for 5 years and haven't even had a cold. Hope you get better soon. Looks like everyone had a ball at the shoot.
I visited the Ohio Rabbit Hunt webpage great stuff! How did you guys organize this event? How long did it take? How many showed? How long does it last? Id love to do something like this in Iowa
The Rabbit hunt had close to seventy show up and had to turn away some because of limited space.
This was the first year for the squirrel hunt, although it had a lite turnout I expect it will more than double in size next year! All I can say is if you plan on doing it next year. "Go for it" you will need to advertise for a rabbit hunt Now! Good Luck!
Thanks! Do you mind if I pick your brain as I go when I come to a road block? Thanks for all the information
PM or Email me any time. If I could help in any way! Check out my first post on the subject I'll bring it up top. Mike
Mike, you guys sure know how to make a fellow sorry about not being there.
My Mom lost another sister last Friday to that DAMN cancer. Couldn't miss this Funeral.
Kenny that's the plan!
Sorry about your loss your mom needs you more.
God Bless!
Mike
:D
Thanks bro.
Sorry to here about your aunt kenny you were missed but your momma would have missed you more. Your family is in my prayers.
The GOSH was not only a traditional gathering of sorts,It was also a fund raiser for a little girl who is in need of a liver transplant. with the turnout lighter than expected we opted out of a few door prizes we were going to offer as we would have had to come up with the money to pay for the items thus less money would be raised. Out of thin air things appeared on the table, donations to make everyone want to empty there pockets to win these great prizes, all the time knowing if they didn't win big, the money would go to a good cause!
I called yesterday to let Tori's family know I was sending a check for $400.dollars.I could hear the tears being held back as I was thanked over and over. I wish we were giving more but it will go a long way easing the great burden they must face.
Thanks to everyone for the Support!
Mike,
That's great that you got that much money for the young lady!! Good on you.
Irish
Sent you a PM look for longbow57 in your spam maybe.
Denny
Thanks Irish.
You guys are a great bunch, doing what you did for Tori.
I wanted to attend this year but I had to leave for the airport at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday to go to Kansas for work.
Hope to see ya next year Gordon! :thumbsup:
