was thinking of making a long trip to a tradtional shoot this year for vaction. we came up with comptons in michigan or etar in coudersport pa. any of you go to both. what about others. we will be driving from sc. need to find other attractions along the way too. any info would be apprieciated

    thanks b-dog

etar is my 1st choice. Better 3d more vendors

There is the whittingham shoot in Jersey You can hit Atlantic City on the way up!

b-dog, I haven't been to Comptons, but have attended ETAR for several years.  Always have a great time, plenty of courses and areas to shoot, plus many vendors.  It's a family affair and great people.  The night coon shoots are a blast!  I would advise you to make reservations as soon as possible if staying outside the Denton Hill grounds.  If camping on the grounds, get there early, no later than Thursday noon, because the camping spots go quick.

I've been to both.  ETAR has more courses and some pretty cool target set-ups.  Compton's courses are very good, but not as many as ETAR. However, I always have more fun at Compton's - just a better feeling of camaraderie and good-natured fun.

We have a great shoot in Colorado, if you want to spend some time in elk country let me know and I can get you some info.

Pretty good shoot held at Baltimore Bowmens range eack yr. BB Traditional classic.

Benji, if you want to see lots of vendors and plenty of courses to shoot I would Reccomend ETAR. I enjoyed it both times I went

Never been to Comptons only ETAR for last 4 years 8 courses normaly over 100 venders and a great buch of guys taking care of things and great bunch of visitors as all the Traditionals are!!
