Compton Traditional Bowhunters is teaming up with Allsouth Archery Association for our first Compton satellite shoot. This will be held at Tannehill State Park in Alabama February 24-26, 2012.
The Berrien Springs Compton rendezvous will continue as the flagship Compton event. The board of Compton has been working hard to add additional events in other parts of the country, and we are very excited to have this finally coming to fruition.
Details are still being finalized, and will be updated in the Trad Events forum here.
One of the most frequent comments we have heard from people is that they wanted to see Compton truly become a nationally recognized traditional bowhunting organization. We really feel that this is a great step in that direction.
Good news Joe!
That sounds great Joe! We will do all we can to support the Event.
That would be great Don! One of the things I need to work on will be trying to line up some volunteers for some help with at the event. Not sure just what that may involve at this point, but we want to make sure that any who do help still have plenty of time to enjoy the event itself.
If anyone has interest in becoming involved please let me know! Even an hour or two would be a great help.
Just talked to Skyler and he said he was a Volunteer for sure. We will start recruiting ASAP
If Don and Skyler are in for you, you know you'll have a good start. They do an awesome job for the St Jude auction every year ...
Awesome news Joe. Are you going to be looking for Vendors. We would love to head South in February!!!!

Terry Harris will be handling the vendors. There is not going to be a big vendor tent (at least for this next year), so you would need your own set up. But the space is free, so the price is right! :thumbsup:
We will try and make it.

Great news Whip :clapper: ! And I know Terry is "the man" to assist in getting it started in the right direction. I attended the Howard Hill Southeast Classic (Tannehill) for the first time this year (June and HOT) and was truly impressed with the whole operation. I will be looking to attend if possible if my work and travel schedule allows.

Hey Joe, throw my name in the Volunteer pot mate. Glad to help out wherever I can!
Hey Joe, you can put me down as a volunteer to.
Sounds Great! Now another job for your all. Update the website more frequently please! I know I know the work is never done, so many hands, so many hours in the day, but still its gotta be done..... Thanks for all the Boards efforts!
great news !!! Tannehill,is a remarkable place ,alot of cival war history ,and man some great woods to throw a shoot ,terry does a excellent job at the howard hill and all south shoots ..
Rob and Ethan - sure happy to see you 2 step up! Very cool, and Thanks!
Mjh, the website project is another one on the front burner, and I was just talking with a couple of other noard members about that yesterday. That WILL get done soon! Progress is being made.
Thanks for the comments!
Outstanding work Joe!
Kudos to you and the Compton board.
Very generous work and wonderful opportunity.
GOOD NEWS! :clapper:
Wow Joe, I'm already gettin' excited!!!
Terry Harris
Are you going to be headed West anytime?
Thanks,
I sure would like to see that Tim. The hope with these satellite shoots.is to eventually have them scattered throughout the country so that a Compton event can be within an easy drive of just about everyone.
The key is to find local partners with the manpower and a facility to host an event. We have developed an application form and process for groups that might be interested in a Compton satellite shoot.
This is very good news. This will turn into one of the best events of the year.
I hope so John, with great folks like you helping to spread the word, I don't see why it can't be.
Terry Harris
I am excited to see growth. This will allow more archers to attend shoots, they would not otherwise be able to do, and be a part of the traditional experience.
Congratulations on the decision, and kudo for all the planning and hard work to make this happen.
Holy cow, I'm already putting together quite a list of outstanding Vendors from around the country.
Terry Harris
I am interested in being a vendor as well
Ken
how is the lodging in the area?
L.R.
Ken, Get in touch with Terry Harris for vendor info if you haven't already.
L.R. - plenty of lodging very close to the park (and of course camping right on site)
Take a look at this thread in the Trad Events forum for a list of motels very close by along with phone numbers.
