Have you been like me and followed some of joebuck's (Joey Buchhanan) stories of how he kills turkeys every year - without a blind??

I've got to tell you - I tried to follow his methods last year, and if it weren't for jumbled nerves and poor shooting skills, even I could have killed a turkey using his techniques.  They flat out work!!

Just in time for next spring preparations, Joey is going share his secrets of success on longbeards with a bow during an evening seminar at the Pre-Spring Arrow Fling at Tannehill State Park in Alabama on February 25th.

Compton Traditional Bowhunters has teamed up with All South Archery Association at the 3rd annual pre-spring arrow fling and have assembled a great line up of seminars.

In addition to Joey, we also have G. Fred Asbell and Byron Ferguson on the schedule.  All of the shoot details are found in the Trad Events forum.

Maybe if I pay attention during the shooting portion of the seminars and combine it with Joey's wisdom, next spring could turn out a little different for me!  

Man wish I could attend. I need some help with the longbeards myself.

Joey needs to video that and sell it. Great speaker, if you understand that ya'll stuff, and probably the best turkey info I ever heard. It was great even with Biggie and Marty laughing, snoring, and rolling on the floor the whole time.  :D

I will be there and this just made my list of things to do while there. Really looking forward to it!

Have fun fellas.  Sounds like a great time.

I gotta try to get off work for this. JoeBuck is my Turkey hunting Hero.RC

This event is shaping up to be a great one !!!!!!  

I am ready for this event, ready to get out and shoot the course!

How far from the airport in Birmingham to the shoot. I may try and fly down for the turkey seminar. Don

You know it would be worth the trip Don!  Downtown Birmingham is about 1/2 hour from Tannehill State Park, and from the looks of the map the airport isn't much further than that.

What is the date for this shoot????

Them boys put on a fine shoot and the location is great.

James, The dates are Feb 24 - 26, 2012.  Check out the threads in the Trad Events forums for more info.  This one has most of the details:

Thanks guys for kind words and especially for Teresa Asbell / Comptons for inviting me. this is going to be really fun for me speaking in my backyard to bowhunters that share basically the same woods as I do.  I got a lot new stuff since Kalamazoo and PBS conventions that will get you thinking   . Or at least some confidence to hunt these redheads without a blind. Bringing all my props and hopefully I can show my PowerPoint/ setups slides. thanks Whips for the call other nite and look forward to it.

I'm half tempted to drive up and see if Joebuck knows what he's talking about:) Maybe drag Matt along to help me heckle.

My hero...sadly I will be in Iowa that weekend.  YouTube it Joey!

Joey, I'm looking forward to having you here.  I've heard nothing but great things about you.

Hopefully you all can make it.

There was a great crowd last year, but this year......WOW, I'm expect a breakout crowd with all the Vendors and activities.

I feel Compton Traditional Bowhunters will help take this event to one of the premier events in the country.

I think that should be a requirement - Joey does better with hecklers present.  Stuff the shoeman in a truck and head on over    

Man, I'm looking forward to this one!!  

Heck it cant be that far. 12 hrs maybe? Hmmm..
