There are not any big Trad shows around these parts. If a fellow could go to only one of the big trad shows which would you recommend.

I hear you MCNSC, will be watching this one.

How long of a drive is it for you to Birmingham Alabama?  The last weekend in February will be the Tannehill shoot hosted by Compton Traditional Bowhunters and All South Archery Association.  Lots of 3D shooting, a bunch of great vendors, and loads of fun!  It would be well worth a trip for you.

Mike, sounds like need to plan a road trip!!!   :D

ETAR (aka Denton Hill)  More vendors than any show, plus you can shoot till your fingers bleed.

Hey Whip can you get me some more info on this I would like to attend. Also is this inside or out just woundering. Thanks Mike

If you can make it to Alabama around the first of June you could take in the 8th annual Howard Hill Southeastern Classic. Really a fantastic event. They have a web site, check it out.

Can't be beat!!!

Thanks for the replies. Maybe a few of us SC guys could plan a trip to one of these. I have thought about going in the past but they are all just too far to justify driving by myself.

Mike,
The Tannehill Pre Spring Arrow Fling is an outdoor event.  This will be the 3rd annual event held by All South Archery Association.  This year Compton Traditional Bowhunters has teamed up and it should make for one of the best events of the season!

Dates are Feb. 24, 25, 26 at Tannehill State Park near McCalla, AL.  There is plenty of camping available, lots of shooting and a great line up of vendors already committed.  

Send me an email at joe@prairietrad.com and I'll forward a copy of the ad that is in the most recent Compton magazine "A Walk In The Woods"

Hope to see you there!

Here is a link to the thread on the Alabama Comptons event


And I must say you also would not be disappointed if you made the trip to Denton Hill in July

Are there any Trad events in Iowa?

Mid-West Trad Expo in Waterloo, Iowa. Check out the trad events forum for more details.

Whip, sent you an email. Sounds like what I am looking for.

O.K. Where is Denton Hill and What are the Dates? I live in Denton but we don't have a Denton Hill          

Denton Hill is in Coudersport,PA and is a two day drive from Denton, TX.  I know because we go from Weatherford every year.  LOL

Mike

Soooo... When is it ?? This way I can get in the trailer and play with all those Beautiful Bows for the two Day trip..  

Denton Hill is always the last full weekend in July. This year 2012 it will be July 26,27,28,29. It runs Thursday thru Sunday.
