I'm going to beat Ron LaClair

Ron LaClair · August 05, 2015, 09:31:00 PM

Just in case there's some that don't know that Roger and I are best of friends so the back and forth banter is just playful fun.

I wasn't all that surprised that Roger beat me last weekend, he's had some good teachers over the years. G Fred and myself have given him shooting advice, in fact last weekend I was pointing out to him a small flaw I was seeing in his release....maybe I shouldn't have told him.

I think you guys should host a rematch at the KyTradFest april 8,9,10 , 2016. we will have an American Round setup. Nothing like two guys competing at those ranges with 90 arrows to make sure it aint just a fluke ! Could raise a lot more money for St Judes. I'll be sending my $5o in tomorrow for this past battle of the Titans.

Well folks, the Great GLLI Rematch is completed...

Roger Norris · August 08, 2015, 08:52:00 AM

I brought the judge and scorekeeper from home....

Roger Norris · August 08, 2015, 08:53:00 AM

Ron brought the best beer ever!

Roger Norris · August 08, 2015, 08:57:00 AM

Steve Turay and Fred Asbell were on hand for the festivities...Steve won the trophy for coolest hat.

Roger Norris · August 08, 2015, 09:01:00 AM

Ray Lyon · August 08, 2015, 07:44:00 PM

Thinking I want to bring back the dueling tree to the GLLI next year. I would LOVE to see a "Beat Ron LaClair" competition.

This thread was so good I went back and re-read it. Thanks Ron & Roger!

I missed the Elm Hall shoot due to a bunch of company in from Europe for a family reunion. I bailed out Saturday morning for the GLLI though.

Listened to Ron's new birthday poem, had a great time with an invitation to a great dinner and breakfast coffee and just really unwound.

This thread has been some of the best entertainment in a long time. Thanks to both of you. My check to St Jude's will go out tomorrow.

My no glass longbow shooting wood arrows verses his glass laminated longbow shooting carbon arrows

and Roger admits he was starting to get rattled but then I ran out of gas

Roger Norris · August 11, 2015, 10:09:00 AM

One thing admire about Ron....he never gives up

Ray Lyon · August 11, 2015, 10:38:00 AM

I wish it would have been a tie.

I would have loved to have been at either event with my Shrewhaven cronies. They truly are incredible gentleman to share a campfire/camp/meal with. I still go back to the laughter (and I think I said it on the video when the TV show featured our fall camp during their deer camp special episode) and the 'therapy' associated with it as one of the great things with this camps relationships. Last Saturday night, Roger, Greg and I were sharing jabs on a group text with Ron all evening and of course Ron was busy with festivities at the GLLI shoot. Ron commented back, later that night, tongue in cheek saying 'quit clogging up my phone with your nonsense, I'm busy having fun'. In reality, we all wished we were hanging out at that campfire together.

Cheers.
