Just ready to head out for the Wisconsin Traditional Archers gathering that begins tomorrow in Stevens Point. Hope to see many of you there!
Bruce, Stop by my table, I'll have 2 dz Ash shafts for you.
The banquet is always a great time.
Great!
No fair, Bruce. You're getting a head start. See you there. :bigsmyl:
I heard a rumor that there might be an area set aside to try a few bows? Any truth to that? Regardless I can't wait and the seminars should be good too.
I believe you're right, there will be a bow try out area this year. Always good to get together with all of our traditional friends again. See you tomorrow.
BadgerArrow, I'm looking for some full length orange barred feathers in LEFT wing. Do you have any? If so bring a dozen of them along tomorrow and I'll relieve you of them.
Have fun guys, I won't be able to make it. Hopefully next year.
Nathan
See you folks tomorrow, can't wait, looking forward to it!
I will be there. Pink feathers would be good.
Can't make it this year... My insurance won't let my wife be further than 30 miles from our hospital! Little guy should be making his appearance soon!
I have a few random pics of the banquet. A great time was had by all.

Another lonely Horicon Marshmen Scott Strook looking for company at a raffle. If he was from Neosho Archers, he probably sells that raffle out right away:)

Awesome pics Brian! I wish we would of ran into each other, would be nice to put a face with the name!
Thanks for posting the pics Brian, I neglected to take any. This was by far the best banquet. Talk it up!!!! There is room for more. Many thanks to the banquet committee and all the donors!!!
I enjoyed the banquet as well. Had a great time. It was nice meeting a few of you. Thanks to the banquet committee and all that made it happen.
What's the story on that bruiser whitetail?!
Brad Tompson was a seminar speaker and that was his booth display.
Derek Casper gave a speach on Dermestid beetles to clean skulls. He had a mouse skull that had the nasal passages still intact.
Great morning Speakers.
MANY thanks to the banquet people for another wonderful time.

That was awesome when this pic popped up on the big screen, Denny looked like he didn't know what to do! Good times!
Many thanks to Rod and Denny for coming out to be our guest speakers and do a seminar. They are both fine gentlemen and were very approachable. They both were always eager to answere any questions. As you can see by the picture their unselfish devotion to promoting traditional archery speaks for itself. :rolleyes:
