Great event! Thanks to those who worked so hard to put it all together.
Great event in Louisville for Compton. Good turn out, great banquet, speakers and animals on display. The Vintage Bear archery display was cool to see. Huge thanks to Dave Jarvis and the board for putting on the event. That took a lot of work and was top notch!
My problem was I fell in love with a Hummingbird Kingfisher recurve and I am ordering one. Expensive weekend but worth every penny!!
Thanks Compton for the event. There is other great pics of the weekend on their Facebook page and I am sure it will be in upcoming magazine.
See you in Berrien Springs in June.
Is that T.J. Conrads in the first pic with Fred & Teresa?
yes that is TJ
I especially enjoyed this show because I had family in Louisville who came over to pay a visit. Here is my younger brother Joe who was a Vietnam veteran. That war wasn't very good to him.

I'll post one or two each time because of technical problems.
This is J R Chappell. He is an invested Fred Bear bow collector. The light was not good for the best photography but I'll show what I got.

Very cool! Sure wish I could've gone, but I had to work!
Looks like a great time wish I lived closer but that Fred bear collection is just stunning!! THXS for the pics
This is Steve Ridden. He is the other part of the Bear Archery Archives that were on display. He and J R Chappell put on quite a display. I heard that some of the guys from the Bear Archery booth were seen caressing these fine old vintage Bear bows.

This is the TradArchers' World magazine booth. They have a really nice magazine that I will subscribe to. Tom was very nice and the magazine covers all components of traditional archery..., not just bowhunting.
