Title: My Kazoo highlights/ thanks John Dill
Post by: Don Batten on February 02, 2010, 06:09:00 PM
Highlights are listed in order:

1- Flying up instead of driving the 15hrs in the snow. John told me that if I came up and helped in his booth he would pay my way(except for the beer).
2. Meeting the Wensel boys and Mike Mitten.

3. Meeting a bunch of tradgang guys for the first time.

4. seeing my friends Bill and Tracy Dunn again. Mostly Tracy. LOL

5. Meeting and haveing breakfast with Biggie, Marty, and Joebuck. They are my kind of folks and I am thankful to have spent some time with them.

6.shooting a tall tines recurve. better get one while the gettin's good.

7. seeing Doug and hearing the story about Preston not getting up to shoot the 190" buck he had on camera.

8.Anything else I forgot.

9. and last but not least, John Dill for letting me slave away in his booth selling the best quiver , in my opinion, for trad bows. It was busy, but great to meet all the folks who stopped by. Sunday, John bought me this bow and gave it to me. He knew I'd had my eye on it all weekend. It's gonna be my all weather killin bow.thanks buddy.  Don

Wow, you sure had a sweet gig last weekend!  Expense paid trip to sell great quivers that pretty much sell themselves.  How hard can that be?  And then a new bow to boot?  
Like I said, that is one sweet gig!  :thumbsup:

Cool deal Don,  Do John provide the rubberbands for the quivers when the stiching comes lose or do you have to get your own? I usally send duck tape with the bows LOL! Glad ya'll had a good trip. Hoot

Don, it was great to meet and talk with you and John.  I agree the Kanati is the best bow quiver out there especially the angle model.  That bow you got there is a SMOKER!  I saw a boy shooting it and it would thump the target hard and very, very fast!

Hey John, I want to work in your booth next year buddy!   :biglaugh:

Don I am sorry I missed you and John in K'zoo. I was in Arkansas picking up my new bow and hangin with Danny and the boys. Two days after I got home from Arkansas I left for the first ASA in Florida. Had a great time got to see Scott Langley and Jeff Mullis. Always good to spend time with my Carolina Brothers.

slow! i'm in disney world....i'm almost too old to have a 5 and 7 year old boys!

Got my Kananti quiver all decked out with some griz sticks and natural barred feathers dyed lime green....it looks great..the snap on/off option your quiver have is the ticket.my box call holsters have the same. it nice to snap off without having to take off your belt...well thought out!
