COMPTON...It doesn't get any better

[mlmealey]

Mike it was great talking with you and Steve thanks for you help with the Sitka gear

I am so envious of all you folks that were able to attend the Compton rendezvous. Sounds like everyone had a great time but Michigan is just a little too far for me to travel. I'm just crossing my fingers that one day there will be a Compton rendezvous in the west.

A great weekend! It was pretty cool to meet a few of the tradgangers in person and put some faces and names together. I already have it on my calender for next year. Good Lord willin' and the creeks don't rise.... Mike

Jeff,

I have to get down on you, do you think God missed you for one Sunday !  I don't think so !

As my wife would say " do not should on yourself "

I should have done that, I should do this, I should be here,


God knew where you were at !  He's not keeping score, and God wants you do enjoy yourself to.  Because I think, God gave you all those friends, and he gave every one of them the talent, and the personalities, that brought you together on those days in Michigan.

So you wouldn't want to spoil that, because of a guilty conscience.

So just take it easy on yourself, about missing church.

Or did you forget " where two or three are gathered together in My name"

Now I'm the one that should be kicking myself !

I wasn't at Compton      

But I will be next year, and I'm going for all three days

Had a great weekend. Weather was perfect! Even the brief rain shower on Saturday, just made things more comfortable afterwards. Met a lot of nice folk, too many to mention all of them. I shot the 3D on Saturday with fellow tradganger, Dave Worden. Dave's a real gentlemen, it was fun shooting.

It was great to see all the smiling faces again.    I have made every Rendezvous except for 2, I missed one while I was in the hospital and one while the wife was in the hospital, but I hope to miss no future ones.    I have only been able to shoot the course 1 time in all the years as I am in the Michigan Traditional Bowhunters booth but next year I am going to "beg" someone to run the booth while me and the misses enjoy the weekend.

It was my first time and can't say enough good things about Compton and the people that make it happen.

I only wish I could have brought the family.

It was sure nice to meet some of you guys there and hope to be back next year again !!!!

Greetings,
Michael

I sure enjoyed it. Ron made elk steaks for breakfast (thanks Jeff) Saturday morning, and Sunday morning brought my coffee to my tent door! What a great Pal!

I loved seeing all the guys, just hanging out in Ron's booth and listening to the stories. AWESOME weekend!

I got to meet Ron at the compton shoot Great guy, bought one of his mountain man shirts, told him i was going to grow my hair and beard long like him , so i could be a mountain man just like him, he said " No Way " unless i got my ear pierced and wear a ear ring like him.
  He is such a nice guy that he offered to do it with his lether punch right on the spot.
  I had to turn him down, because i didn't know what my wife would say, good thing too she said if i do that i had better move to the mountains and stay, don't sound too bad to me.

It was awesome to have my wife join me in my addiction   :D  
 
Adam had a bad sore throat, but we couldn't keep him from the kids range.

nice one kenny

This was my first, could only be ther on Friday, but had a ball. This was also my first 3-d shoot man was that fun. I was still recovering from a hip replacement and did the course with a cane in one hand and bow in the other. I'm sure my Dr. would have had a major problem with that but it was worth every bit. Buddy of mine and I planning for next year already and we'll be there start to finish.

Kenny, tell Emma I think she had the best looking quiver at the shoot...and she's color coordinated     ...
