Looks like I will be forced to retire April 1, 2015. Now I can go to all the shows and shoots I always wanted to.

The first thing I am doing is a hog hunt down south in April. I used to love to go down and see Ray and Mike at Hog Haven. I intend to do some DIY hogs in Georgia first.

In September I will be going to Colorado for DIY elk.

That leaves an awful lot of time for shoots.

I will be doing Whittingham in NJ and the Baltimore Bowmans Shoot in Maryland.

What are some good trad gatherings to hit in 2015. I can't wait to go and camp for a few days at all the ones I missed over the years.

Thanks

The Hill Country Shootout put on by the Traditional Bowhunters of Texas is a fantastic shoot! It is April 11th and 12th, 2015 in Vanderpool, Tx.

Also, The Texas State Longbow Championship shoot is in Fort Worth, Tx on Memorial Day Weekend.

Those are 2 of the best shoots in Tx!

Gil would love to shoot a round down at Baltimore with you. Look me up. I'll be camped just past the sign in Pavilion as usual.
See you then and congrats on your retirement!!

Always wanted to see Texas. I will have to stop and see Jack Harrison while I am down there. Maybe get some Javelina hunting in too.  

Thanks

Thanks Ed I will. Did you make the bunny hunt last year? I was sure sorry to miss that one.

Gil,

If you happen to be in Colorado or near here in late June, the CTAS (Colorado Traditional Archers Society) High Country Shoot is as good a time as you could have.  Also, the North American Longbow Safari usually the end of June or if in Canada sometimes over July 4th or there about if it conflicts with the Calgary Stampede.  One year it is somewhere in the US and the next in Canada.  It alternates each year.

Closer to home is the Sawmill shoot in June and ETAR in July near Coudersport, PA. There is a good shoot in Sept. in central PA called Shade Mt.

Yes there is, Compton in Berrien Springs, MI. Very nice shoot with lots of vendors and a free chili/hot dog dinner on Friday night. Camping on site. Around mid June.

Real nice shoot in Kentucky the first part of April.

I second The High Country Shoot in Colorado. Over 500 shooters the past two yrs. Right in the middle of The Colorado Rockies.

Gil,
You need a retirement consultant.  When I retired two years ago Joe Lasch (Whip) stepped up to the plate and I never looked back  :)   Also try Denton Hill @ the end of July...Jeff

Check out the Howard Hill Classic at Tannehill State Park near Bessemer, AL in June. It is a fun shoot. You can combine it with a trip down south to check out some hog hunting.

Rumour has it the Traditional Bowhunters of BC rendezvous in May will be in Rock Creek again.

Three hour drive from Spokane WA, or fly into Kelowna and drive an hour and a half or fly into Vancouver and drive for six.
Less anger, more troubleshooting...

If you get to Texas for the Hill Country or the Comptons in Michigan stop by the trailer for a visit.

Compton in Michigan is a great time and I will be there.  

Seems like the E.T.A.R. in Denton Hill, PA  would be perfect for you to attend.  It's on my list for the future.

I highly recommend the High Country Shoot in Colorado, it's a must attend at least once, after that you will be back.

  Retired myself, at the end of June this year and relocated back to my roots in Southern Illinois, always wanted to attend Compton, and I believe now that I am closer I will this year.
