The Compton show and shoot will be open this weekend; the tent is being fixed and reset up now, after the storms Thursday night.

I was watching the radar and saw those storms blow in. More are expected this afternoon. Hopefully everyone is OK.

From Gene Wensel:
I just called several people. The tent went down last night but they are putting it back up, minimal damaged goods and no one is going home. They are afraid rumors will really hurt attendance and might worry relatives of people who are not there. Pass the word. Thanks.

Sure glad everyone is OK!  

Hope the weather holds off and everyone shows back up.

I just talked to some others who are camped at Compton.They said the same thing Bob just forwarded.No worries they are going no where!!Except out to shoot another course.Its just a small set back.

Good to hear, we decided last night while shooting our bows to head over for the day trip on Saturday, I never been to this event before. Then the weather blew in and dumped 4+ inches of rain here in Milwaukee before heading across the lake. The lighting was none like I've ever seen before, WICKED! Glad everyone is OK.

Were still planning on making the drive, I hope it works out!


For those in the know please keep us updated! Thanks!

OK, I just got off the phone with Whip, he said the tent is on its way back up here shortly and everything is good to go. They got pretty wet last night and they also got the spectacular lighting show overnight as well! Folks are still rolling in today so I hope to see some tradgangers there on Saturday!

I just got off the phone with 4runer (Kenny) and they're itching to go do some more shooting. But he said everyone is ok and they spent a couple hours taking everything out from under the vendor's tent and it should be set back up soon.

I was there this morning and it's all good...alitlle wet. Just like you would expect from the trad folks...everyone pitching in and lifting the fallen tent and getting things out. Saw a few sweaty tradgang.com shirts working hard.

Awesome, wish I was there to help out!

I'm still going tomorrow. The vendors better be ready!   :D    

I sure hope Dano and his trailer did't get blown away!

I spent the day shooting at Comptons. It was wet but the coarses are good.  It will be wet tomorrow so bring boots.

The tent was back up when I left though no vendors were set up yet.  I expect they are waitng until tomorrow morning.

Hello,

For those of us who live on top of the Mountain.... where is Comptons?

Compton's is held in the Western part of Mich.  
My daughter and I spent the day shooting and during one of the rain storms I got a brillant (my one and only for the decade) idea and ran out and bought rubber boots for her and I.  Anyone going boots are a must the courses are great but pretty soupy.  Can't wait to do some shopping tomorrow.

Southwestern MI, SE of St.Joseph and Benton Harbor on the St Joe river.

Wish I was there, but I think my last day of work is this week so I cant spend the money.But I WILL be at the MTB in Grayling next weekend.

Comptons is being  held in Berrien Springs, Michigan.  About 2 hours east of Chicago and 2 hours west of Detroit.

Leaving for it first think in the morning...hopefully I'll be there before 9 am.

Can't wait...first time at the event.

Wow, I`m sitting in my tent camper watching one bad storm rip tents down & throw in some terretial rain. What fun! Saturday should be nice, but it will be muddy, I mean really muddy!!
