Well everyone, the four of us should have a great time ( Don, John, Matt and David ). The clinic will be held at the Asbell's, 29th of June thru the 1st of July. Both Fred and Teresa seem like great people after talking with them on the phone and E-mails. I am really looking forward to this great experience. Will take pics. Don

My flight leaves am, arrive Michigan at Grand Rapids airport at around 6:00pm. The next day the fun starts, I am very ready for the fun.
Got to get this thread back up top so Matt, Dave, and Don can start this off right. I'll say it again the people who are members here on TradGang truly go above and beyond all expectations when you meet them in person. I had a great time with an even greater group of guys, plus got to meet two of the GREATEST people around. I'll be back to check later, cause I know Matt has a TON of pics from this weekend. STAY TUNED Gang! :thumbsup:
I spoke with Teresa this morning. She said that her and Fred enjoyed you guys so much. She mentioned what gentlemen you all were. Sounds like it was a great clinic!!! Need pics!!!
Roger,
I know Matt will be along soon to start posting but he took over 200 photos while we were at the Asbell's, so it might be a little bit before he gets them downloaded and then posted along with his story. I know Don and Dave will be along to tell a little bit about their experience as well.
This was a trip of a lifetime. I think that I speak for all of us, what a great time, Fred and Teresa are awesome people. Learned a lot and enjoyed it all. What a great group of guys to share this experience with. The whole trip went by way to fast. Happy 4th to all.
Don
Yup! Surreal experience in every way guys. Absolutely unbelievable weekend.
Sorting through all the pics. Will post them up this week!
Stay tuned!
Okay. Ready for some pics?
Still trying to get caught up at work and stuff around the house. I'll let the guys fill in more of the details.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!!! Great Trip, and we made memories for life on this one!

I can just imagine how special that weekend was for the four of you! The pictures make that very clear. And I know from talking with Teresa that she and Fred feel the same way and really enjoyed having you.
That was a wonderful donation for the St. Jude auction, and some fantastic and very generous bidding on your behalf. Winners all the way around! :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Awesome! :campfire:
Looks like a great time! Thanks for sharing :thumbsup: :campfire:
Teresa was telling my wife and I at Compton that she and Fred were going to roll out the red carpet for you guys and it sure looks like they meant it. Good stuff!!
That's some great stuff right there, what a weekend!
Eric
Wow !! Look like y'all had a great time !
ttt
Man, I'm jealous! That looks great! Like the photoshop pics as well. Was seriously wanting to get in on that bidding.
So are you a better shooter now or was it all fun and games? :D
An experience of a lifetime you have to be a happy camper. :thumbsup:
..... WOW.... I would give my right arm to spend a day like that!
ak.
A great sponsor delivering on a great St Judes donation.
I knew this was going to be a good deal.
Thanks for sharing. Great pictures
Yes, most definitely a better shooter now!
That was by far one of the most memorable 3 days I've spent in a long long time.
It was almost too good to be true.
Very nice!!
Looks like a fantastic time to say the least.
My kind of dinner spread too!
Looks like a blast! One of my favorite places to shoot at the Muskegon Bowmen's club. :thumbsup:
Just great!!! Thanks for letting us come along.
Susan :D
:bigsmyl:
looks like a great time!!!!!!!!
Sure looks great. I was supposed to come up and help Fred a bit, but some family obligations got in the way. The Asbells have mentioned more than once what a great group you guys were. Awesome!
Congrats to all who attended. That auction items was well worth the 4 figure donation it took to win. Hope the Asbell's make this donation again next year. :archer2:

"Just miss the tree... just miss the tree... just miss the tree..."
"OH CRUD!!!" :goldtooth:
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :biglaugh:
Looks like a grand time and great experience. Nice job on the photo essay and the special effects!
I just knew when Matt took this picture, that it would be up for everyone to see. That tree just jumped out there, in my way. This was a fun time. I was very surprised that none of us lost or broke an arrow. This range that Fred took us too was a great broad head course . Don
