Good luck to you Mr. Waltman; those are some fine looking bows you make.

I plan on being there. Its always a great time. I'll bring some quivers with me if any ones interested. Eldora (Pine Lake) is great place to hold a shoot. Look forward to meeting you there.

PICKNGRIN · May 22, 2016, 06:59:00 AM

Several of us from Sioux City will be there! I have not been to this course for several years, but it was excellent the last time I was there!

Where can I find directions and info on the shoot?

soap creek · May 24, 2016, 06:51:00 AM

Go to iowatbs.com their home page has all the info. You can also check Pine Lake Archery Club.

John Sturtevant · May 24, 2016, 07:16:00 AM

Irv, you can also check Iowa Traditional Bowhunters Society on Facebook.

Hopefully this is our last location move. Good facility and nice course. We'll be setting up all day Friday... welcome to come in anytime.

In the rare event it rains on Memorial Day weekend, this location does have more sheltered area.

Hope to see you all there!

It was a great shoot, a little wet on Saturday but it didn't keep us from having fun....

This little guy was along the trail, not very old as he didn't even twitch as we looked at him!

The boys hooked up with Chad Holms boy Jacob from Holm-Made bows and they had a blast!!!

Their favorite target was the Polar Bear Long Shot across the pond....

23feetupandhappy · May 31, 2016, 05:44:00 PM

Jacob was a supper kid ( raised in a good family ) and the boys are already planning for next year!!!

Kids Long Shot...

Then we shot the corse again in the afternoon and guess who was still there?!?!?!

Shifted around a bit but still holding tight after countless people walking only feet away from it......

The boys would often start out at about 30 yards and work in from there till they could confirm that the target was either dead or they were out of arrows

It was a great couple of days with lots of

Good job there Dad. Love seeing young people involved in Traditional archery. Also that pup is looking good.

PICKNGRIN · June 01, 2016, 06:33:00 AM

Ben,
Thanks for sharing the pics! Saw you there with the beagle pup. 4 of us were there from Sioux City. We were shooting Holm Made bows. The course was great.
