A great event for kids:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paul, those pictures of the kids are wonderful. They are the future of the MLA and the GLLI. Also I thought that there were more young people (teens) there this year, and that's a good sign.

In the future, if you're going to take my picture please warn me so I can suck in my gut...   :rolleyes: ...   :D

I noticed way more teens and women this year!      Hopefully we can capitalize on this and keep them around.

Don't worry about the gut Ron, it's a built in stabilizer!   :D

The kids range was real nice.  It was also great to see a lot of loner bows and arrows for the kids.  That was something missing at Compton.  I know my kids liked trying some of those bows.  We are in the process of getting them some better bows right now and they both found bows they liked shooting.  I was able to get some feedback from them on style and weight.

The courses and targets were great.  There were a lot of nice hunting range shots, some long ones to challenge, and some short ones to build confidence.  I know my kids had a great time shooting.  I was impressed with the number of targets put out; the yellow ribbon course could have had 50, but I lost track so I am guessing.

The silver arrow was fun.  I just wish I would have thought to start gapping on round three before I got to my third arrow.

I can't think of a better setting for this event.  With camping, a lake, and the village there is a lot to do if you are  not shooting.

I know I had a great time.. And was happy I got to see many old friends... Great photos guys,

Cody

Yes, it was a great time in Michigan again!  Arwin, I didn't realize that was you and your son over with Dave and Tracey.  I'll be sure to introduce myself next time.

Thanks for the pics, guys!  I even found myself in one (backside view).

Great pic of Joey Campbell shooting in the Turkey Shoot in our local paper the Muskegon Chronicle(August 16)pA5. Sad thing is on the front page of August 14 they show a little guy shooting a bow that looks to be strung backward!

I gotta get me a longbow and get to one of those shoots-looks like alot of fun!  

Just a tun of fun!!!!  We shard camps with some of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing!!!!   Oh ya and you too Arwin :-)
